Audio Video Design Consultants’ Management Earns Green Certification

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar 03, 2009 -
Nashville’s Audio Video Design Consultants is placing a strong emphasis on green technologies for both home and businesses.  The company’s general manager, John Lupear, recently completed training to become a Certified Green Professional by the Home Builders Association of Middle Tennessee.  AVDC’s primary focus in the green realm involves the design and installation of control systems for lighting and HVAC systems.  Despite serious challenges in today’s building market, green technologies and green certified properties are continuing to grow within the industry.   AVDC is looking to position itself as the region’s leader in the technology aspect of green building, and Lupear’s training and certification are part of an ongoing process in that direction.

“Integrating green technologies has been a big part of our company for years,” says Lupear, “and this certification is just one step towards building on that existing foundation.”   AVDC’s owner and president, Steven Hooper, adds, “From practically the day we opened our doors, we’ve been designing lighting and HVAC control systems with substantial energy saving benefits, but we weren’t always branding them as ‘green’ so much as just good, common sense approaches.  These days, it seems like ‘green’ is the buzzword around the industry.  With that in mind, we’re planning to double our efforts in promoting these services we’ve been offering for years while staying on the cutting edge of developing technologies.  As far as we know, we’re the first systems integration company in Nashville with a Certified Green Professional on staff, and we’re really proud of that.”

In addition to energy reduction in lighting and HVAC systems, Lupear says that newer technologies can also reduce water consumption in sprinkler systems, and further conservation can be found by integrating automated window shades and blinds, especially in hard to reach places.  “Even though today’s technology is really impressive,” says Lupear, “it’s exciting to know that this part of the industry is still growing and evolving.  I think that much of this technology will be standard in both homes and businesses in the not too distant future.”
