GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:GRHU), a leading provider of energy efficiency solutions and sustainable infrastructure products, encourages and assists companies of all sizes with efforts to identify and adopt strategies that fully incorporate the various incentive programs offered through their local utilities. These programs provide significant monetary incentives for acting on projects that improve energy efficiency and pays consumers for participating in periodic consumption reductions (Demand Response or DR) — increasing a business’ bottom line for the coming year.
Automated Demand Response (ADR) is one of several DR programs available to commercial and industrial customers of California’s three Investor Owned Electric Utilities. The ADR programs as delivered by GreenHouse provides participating utility customers with the investigative, engineering and installation solutions (hardware and software) required to conduct a fully-automated (hands-free) load-shed. GreenHouse is uniquely organized with a professional and technical staff capable of delivering end-to-end ADR solutions.
Along with Demand Response, GreenHouse provides energy efficiency services for customers including General Dynamics, Gulfstream Aerospace, PepsiCo and its burgeoning relationship with the United States Army. The U.S. military continues to embrace and expand its use of green solutions on its bases throughout the world, enhancing the fast-tracked penetration of a domestic consumer market for sustainable products and services.
Another efficiency solution and sustainable infrastructure improvement a business should consider in 2011 is investing in solar covered parking. Reducing the influence of the elements on a parked vehicle significantly reduces “heating up or cooling down” time, resulting in a reduction in fuel consumption. Much more energy (fuel) is required to cool a car from 120° to 100° than 90° to 70°. Additionally, the energy produced by the solar PV can offset the requirements for utility-provided electricity as well as generate income through selling excess capacity to the utility.
GreenHouse also recommends using Cool-Wall products for reducing the impact of radiant heat on the exposed surfaces of a building. Cool-Wall is documented to last much longer than traditional paints which potentially will reduce significant building maintenance expenses.

American Video Teleconferencing Corp. (Pink Sheets:AVOT) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement to acquire two claim blocks in townships of Mekinac and Lajuene, Province of Quebec. These claim blocks are approximately 3600 acres in total and are located 120 miles east of Montreal P.Q. and 50 miles north of Three Rivers P.Q. They are accessible year round with infrastructure in the immediate vicinity. The claims adjoin a property that had one of the highest readings of Rare Earths in North America.
Sampling in the 1950s gave readings of 48% combined Cerium, Lanthanum, Neoymium and Yttrium. That property has remained dormant for over 50 years but the new owners plan an extensive exploration program this fall. American Video, after a lengthy search and after careful due diligence, believes this is going to be one of the most active areas for Rare Earths exploration and our holdings are in the same geological setting as the 48% Rare Earths showing.
Part of the market pressure on rare-earth metals arises from new demand that alternative technologies has prompted. Industry, including electric- and hybrid-vehicle motors and wind turbines, requires magnets.
Rare earth elements have become irreplaceable in clean tech such as hybrid and electric car motors, high-efficiency light bulbs, solar panels and wind turbines. They also play a key role in defense technologies such as cruise missiles, radar and sonar and precision-guided weapons. Rare Earths are in huge demand especially in the United States as China is closing off its exports of these strategic metals to less than 5% of its production.
American Video will aggressively continue to search world wide for opportunities in Precious, Base and Rare Earths metal projects.
