In his new role with greenscreen®
, Dean will help to increase the manufacturer’
s presence among new and familiar audiences through social media, Internet video and additional technologies. He will also help to formulate the environmental policy of the product and business.

green walls contribute to increased building energy efficiency by functioning as a natural exterior shading system, reducing heat build-up indoors.
