DualCool Installations Completed on 14 Walmart Stores

Author: Integrated Comfort Inc.
Dateline: Vacaville, California (VACAVILLE, Calif.)  | Tue, 20 Dec 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Integrated Comfort Inc. (ICI) of Vacaville, CA has recently completed DualCool installations on 14 Walmart stores in northern and central California. DualCool is a retrofittable system that significantly improves the efficiency of rooftop cooling units (RTU's) in dry climates. The patented DualCool technology is owned and manufactured by ICI.”



A R T I C L E:

Integrated Comfort Inc. (ICI) of Vacaville, CA has recently completed DualCool installations on 14 Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) stores in northern and central California. DualCool is a retrofittable system that significantly improves the efficiency of rooftop cooling units (RTU's) in dry climates. The patented DualCool technology is owned and manufactured by ICI.

DualCool uses a direct evaporative process to pre-cool outdoor air entering the condenser coil, and an indirect process (no moisture added) to pre-cool ventilation air entering the building. On retail facilities in hot dry climates, DualCool typically reduces annual cooling energy use and peak electrical demand by 25 to 40 percent.

This 2011 installation program resulted from a partnering effort of three affiliate members of the UC Davis Western Cooling Efficiency Center (WCEC): Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Wal-Mart and ICI. UC Davis launched the WCEC in 2007 to accelerate the implementation of proven cooling technologies that take advantage of the unique characteristics of dry climates typical of the western U.S.

Walmart began testing DualCool on stores in California and Arizona in 2008. ICI introduced its "Generation 2" DualCool version in 2010. Prototypes of this higher-performance, lower-priced DualCool line were monitored by the WCEC in 2010, leading to this year's Walmart demonstration program supported by PG&E.

"We are focused on leading the industry with implementation of cost-effective technologies that improve efficiency and move us toward a more sustainable future," says Jim McClendon, Wal-Mart Director of Engineering. "We have been evaluating various evaporative pre-cooling products, and our major criteria are performance, durability, and favorable economics."

The 2011 installations were supported by PG&E as a potential element of its Emerging Technologies program. Beutler Heating and Air of Sacramento, another WCEC Affiliate Member, installed the 115 DualCool units under a subcontract with ICI. The 14 stores stretched from Oroville in the north to Fresno in the south.

"We are always interested in technology that allows our customers to save energy during peak hours of operation," says Dave Alexander of PG&E. "Thanks in part to the work of the Western Cooling Efficiency Center and their affiliate partners such as Wal-Mart and Integrated Comfort, there is a renewed interest in evaporative pre-cooling for hot dry climates. Over the next year we will continue to monitor performance and track energy savings on these installations."

Mark Modera, Director of the WCEC, comments that "Retrofit cooling efficiency technologies are particularly needed because there are millions of RTU's in use that will not be replaced for years. The WCEC is encouraging both new and retrofit cooling technologies, but the overall savings potential is greater in the retrofit category."

"DualCool is designed for durability and easy service," notes Dick Bourne, ICI Vice-President. "Our stainless steel enclosures, top-of-the line evaporative media, and high-performance cooling coils ensure long life, large peak demand reduction, and significant energy cost savings. We look forward to more partnering with key participants to cost-effectively improve the efficiencies of commercial cooling equipment."

Company Information: Integrated Comfort Inc. is a privately-held California corporation that develops and markets energy-efficient cooling products and systems.

United Wholesale Mortgage Implements HARP 2.0

Author: United Wholesale Mortgage
Dateline: Birmingham, Michigan (BIRMINGHAM, Mich.)  | Tue, 20 Dec 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), a national wholesale mortgage lender operating in 47 states, announced today that it has successfully implemented the government's enhancements to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0) that went into effect December 1, 2011.”



A R T I C L E:

United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), a national wholesale mortgage lender operating in 47 states, announced today that it has successfully implemented the government's enhancements to the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0) that went into effect December 1, 2011.

HARP is a federal government program designed to help millions of underwater homeowners refinance into a fixed loan with a lower monthly payment. The release of HARP was originally announced in March of 2009, but as of August 31, 2011 only 894,000 borrowers have refinanced through the original HARP plan. The HARP 2.0 version, however, is expected to significantly increase the number of eligible participants into the program with the aggressive changes to make the program more viable for both borrowers and lenders.

"Access to HARP 2.0 provides much needed relief to underwater borrowers who have been making their payments but unable to refinance due to lack of equity in their homes," said Mat Ishbia, president of United Wholesale Mortgage. "The recent change to HARP is something we wanted to make available to our Broker Network so they may assist borrowers that they otherwise could not have helped. There are very few lenders that have implemented HARP 2.0 thus far, and we don't expect to see immediate adoption because of the technology, staffing and liquidity implications. At UWM, we are committed to offering our customers the products they need to satisfy marketplace demands and grow their business."

UWM added HARP 2.0 to its broker portal, EASE (Easiest Application System Ever), where brokers can price and determine eligibility via EQ (Easy Qualifier). UWM's robust technology infrastructure was a big part of why they were able to bring HARP 2.0 to market so quickly after it was announced, the company says.

The primary changes to HARP are the reduction of pricing adjustments on all HARP loans which allows borrowers to save more money than they could have before, removing the 125% CLTV restriction, and the ability to not require appraisals on many loans. Notable is that Fannie Mae and Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter(R) (DU) system will not be updated to accept unlimited loan-to-value applications until March of 2012, and UWM will roll out that enhancement once Fannie Mae's system is ready.

Company officials at UWM say they are dedicated to helping homeowners and brokers across the country by swiftly supporting the revised, government-backed Home Affordable Refinance Program. Interested parties can learn more about UWM's HARP 2.0 by calling 800-981-8898.

About United Wholesale Mortgage:

Headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan, United Wholesale Mortgage underwrites and provides closing documentation for residential mortgage loans originated by mortgage Brokers, banks, credit unions and correspondents. UWM provides unparalleled service with its deep understanding of the mortgage process using its talented team of account executives, underwriters, closers and funders, who have years of experience with intricate knowledge in wholesale. UWM's positive teamwork and dedication to exceptional customer service has resulted in continued success and growth that has spawned expansion.

All recipients of the 2012 program will now also receive up to $2,500 in additional services; specifically free online text and banner advertising on Neotrope(R) News Network sites. This brings the dollar value of the grant to each chosen recipient to $5,000, or $50,000 total value in donated services for 2012.

"We're again donating $25,000 in free public relations and newswire services to worthy non-profit and charitable organizations to celebrate our 29th anniversary," said Neotrope founder and CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons. "With this expansion, we've now added $25,000 in online marketing services to the program for the first time. This new component gives the grant recipients far more visibility online by running their advertising in ROS campaigns on our news network; we will even create banners for the recipients if they don't already have them."

The Neotrope News Network includes news and entertainment portals like eNewsChannels.com. CaliforniaNewswire.com, MusicIndustryNewswire.com and many others, generating up to 10 million page views per month. The Neotrope News Network is being completely "rebooted" in 2012, and existing sites are being upgraded for a Q1/2012 brand re-launch, and integration of the PR grant recipient advertising is being integrated from the ground up during the redesign process.

Neotrope previously donated services as part of its Non-Profit PR Grants Program in 2011, 2009, 2005 and 2000. In 2010, Neotrope "adopted" various charities in lieu of providing the PR Grant program, and has provided discounted or free services to various non-profits for almost 30 years. Neotrope's Send2Press(R) Newswire service provides the online news dissemination component of the grants program for getting press releases in front of interested media.

Past recipients of the Non-Profit PR Grant Program include Children Awaiting Parents, Girls Write Now, Paws of Life Foundation, Special Equestrians, The Bob Moog Foundation, The Starlight Children's Foundation, The Native Voices Foundation, World Savvy, and many others.

"Neotrope has played an important role in our success in the last couple years," said Dana Mortenson, Executive Director, World Savvy. "The Neotrope PR Service Grant in 2009 was tremendously helpful in a critical year of our growth. With Neotrope's help spreading the word for our youth engagement programs, we were able to engage more than 6,000 youth and 1,100 educators in our programs during the 2009-2010 school year."

"Neotrope has done more to raise our profile than we could have ever imagined, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with them," said Tammy Westney, Executive Director, Special Equestrians.

How to Apply for 2012 Grant Program:

Non-profit organizations may apply online through January 15, 2012. Organizations will be selected by January 30, 2012, and the amount donated to each selected non-profit will vary, but typically $2,500 in PR services per recipient plus the additional online marketing/advertising component (total value approximately $5,000 per recipient; this is not a cash grant). Two of the grants will be provided to California-based non-profits, who will receive additional promotional assistance through California Newswire(R). Additionally, all 501(c)(3) organizations automatically qualify for a 15% service discount.
