Congratulations Namaste!

Congratulations are in order for our friends at Namaste Solar, named “Best Place to Work” by the Boulder Chamber of Commerce.

Namaste has been instrumental in our effort to reduce energy costs and improve the overall efficiency level of Imagine!’s service provision through our SmartHomes.

At our Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome, Namaste installed a 6.75kW Solar Photo Voltaic system. In the first few months of operations, the system generated enough electricity to prevent 7,391.556 lbs of CO2 waste from being generated from non renewable energy sources.

That amount of CO2 saved is equal to consuming 353 gallons of gasoline!

Namaste also installed a 8.1kW solar PV system at our newest SmartHome in Longmont. The Center for Resource Conservation awarded the Longmont SmartHome $15,000 to go toward that installation.

Our partnership with Namaste has helped our SmartHomes to be recognized for our forward thinking and green approach. For example, last fall, the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome was part of 14th Annual Boulder County Tour of Solar & Green Homes.

The Charles Home was also selected as one of three finalists in the inaugural Colorado Sustainable Design Awards (CSDA), and was nominated for a Colorado Governor’s Excellence in Renewable Energy Award.

We congratulate Namaste on their well deserved honor, and thank them for their continued support of our SmartHomes project.
