(San Francisco, CA) – What’s new for SolarDay 2010? How about a national Solar Sweepstakes.

It’s free to enter the $5,000 solar sweepstakes on the SolarDay website (www.solarday.com) to win a chance at a $5,000 credit off a residential or commercial solar installation for homeowners in the U.S.

Really Reducing Your Monthly Energy Bills

Why enter? Energy prices are going up, again. People with solar installations on their homes and businesses can dramatically reduce their monthly energy bills. And, there are many incentive and rebate programs that can reduce the cost of a solar installation by nearly half. Plus, new programs allow you to pay off your solar installation through your property taxes and other methods. Some solar companies will install a solar installation at no cost – and simply charge you for the electricity you consume – at a guaranteed rate with no surprises.

You Can’t Win if You Don’t Enter!

Check out the SolarDay 2010, Solar Sweepstakes at: www.solarday.com.

Somebody will win a $5,000 credit for a home or business solar installation. With existing government rebates, that credit can be worth close to $10,000 off the cost of your installation.

The members of OPEC care only about their profits. Most of the OPEC Countries actually dislike our Country. OPEC members are even encouraging non OPEC members to cut production in order to drive the prices back up to levels from this summer.

The only way for use to break free from the grip of OPEC is to do everything possible to cut our energy needs and find alternative fuel sources domestically. We all need to promote conservation, solar power and heat, wind power, hydro power and bio-fuels. The easiest place to start this transformation is right at home. If we all do our part the dream of foreign oil independence really won’t be that hard.

First, it is advisable to hire a home inspector to survey the structure so that there are no “surprises” during construction. Too often building owners receive a phone call from their contractor halfway through the renovations informing them that asbestos has been discovered in the structure – and at that point, renovations stop and an asbestos abatement plan must be put into place before the project can move forward, costing additional money and pushing back project deadlines significantly. A home inspector can point out any issues, including structural concerns and the presence of asbestos before renovations begin, allowing home and building owners the opportunity to properly handle any issues and ultimately protect their investment.

If asbestos is located within a home or commercial building, the appropriate next step is to hire a licensed asbestos abatement company to safely handle the removal and disposal of asbestos-containing materials. It is unwise to tackle a do-it-yourself asbestos abatement project, as it can potentially expose you and others to harmful asbestos. An abatement company will handle all aspects of removal and disposal, including alerting local environmental authorities and obtaining the necessary permits. Once asbestos materials are removed, renovations can begin.

If you own a home or commercial building and are considering renovations, it is a perfect opportunity to remove potentially toxic materials (such as asbestos insulation and ceiling tiles) and consider installing more earth-friendly construction products. For example, after removing aging asbestos-containing attic insulation, consider installing foam insulation, a great “green” alternative.

Many homeowners that wish to make their home environmentally friendly know what they want, but typically don’t really know how to make it happen. This is a common problem for consumers, especially when it comes to figuring out what exactly “green” means.

Contacting Today’s Green Construction is a great first step to take when deciding to go green. Of course, the U.S. Green Building Council can also provide the steps and guidelines to contractors and homeowners on environmental construction better than anyone. Their rating system, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), has been the industry standard for determining whether a green building is actually earth-friendly.

Even for smaller residential projects, such as remodeling or renovation, LEED for Homes is a great place to start.

However, one important aspect to any construction project should be asbestos awareness, which notably missing from this “authority” website. Homeowners should always be extra cautious when tearing down a room or building a new one. Many older homes, primarily those constructed before or during the 1980s, were built with materials containing the toxic mineral asbestos. If these materials become damaged or disturbed, asbestos fibers can release into the air where they can be inhaled.

The inhalation of asbestos fibers has been known to cause several forms of serious disease, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Typically though, signs of these illnesses do not appear for several decades, which often results in a late diagnosis and causes major complications for mesothelioma treatments.

Homeowners that make the switch to environmentally friendly products need to be watchful for asbestos-containing materials. If asbestos is present, mishandling such materials is dangerous and a professional asbestos abatement contractor should be hired. Although the abatement process may be expensive, it is well worth performing. Replacing asbestos products with green products not only saves money in the long run, but is also great for the environment.
