    CasaVerde: an ILD radio show...NeoCon 2009:

    Hey Everyone-
    Sorry for the delay in posting this...Here are some of the links/contact info for what I REALLY liked at this year's NeoCon held in Chicago. 

    ***NeoCon is an international trade show for designers, architects, contractors and anyone else involved in this industry.  Vendors and manufacturers from around the world come to participate.  Workshops for CEUs, parties for networking and a LOT of walking around the Merchandise Mart!***

    As a side-note, some of these products may only be available through a designer and not in mass market.

    Nayer Kazemi-Waterart- Waterwalls that are spectacular!!!  www.nayerkazemi.com

    Ki Furniture- Eco-friendly furniture that was originally designed for "institutes of higher learning" but can be used in the home or office (or retail, hospitality)!  They are also aligned w/Pallas textiles-very cool fabrics!  www.ki.com

    Forbo Flooring-One of the leaders in eco-friendly, sustainable rubber flooring.  LOVE this line.  Great colors, can be used anywhere, can custom a pattern, can now use product as wallboard (think wainscotting) AND bulletin boards!  This company also practices what they preach watching their carbon footprint of sales staff, recycling and conducting workshops on eco-friendly business practices.  www.forboflooringna.com

    Ceres Floors-another great line of recycled rubber, low PVC flooring in incredible colors!  Mostly for commercial, but I would apply in high-traffic areas of the home (hallway, entryway mudroom).  www.ceresnaturalfloors.com

    TOTO-we all know of my love of this company and product line...but WAIT until you see the just introduced Waza Collection...It's stunning!  It's Asian inspired, and not for everyone as it's rather formal.  Make sure to check out the Waza Miyabi line which features a traditional art called Kiyomizu-yaki, from the Kyoto region of Japan.  It is to "capture the 4 seasons of nature" in the hand-painting.  At the product release party, they had an artist who did this type of art...beautiful!  (also great for Feng Shui-ing....).   www.totousa.com

    Nedlaw Living Walls-this was kinda cool..these walls clean the indoor air with the same processes that nature uses outdoors.  The patented, active living wall system uses lush green plants and "beneficial" microbes to produce high quality indoor air w/minimal energy use.  Again, this is perfect for a commercial application or a VERY LARGE conservatory, sunroom or 3 season room.   www.nedlaw.ca

    Skyline Design-one of my very favorite new vendors!  This is an eco-friendly line of furniture for kids!  tables, chairs and shelves.  Recycled, renewable and low impact materials make up the furniture-plus lots of bright colors!  www.skylinedesign.com

    Greenlam Laminates-a new line of laminates that can be used for LEED designs.  Great colors and patterns.  www.greenlam.com

    Stark Carpet-I know I'm rather anti-carpet, but this is a line of ORGANIC carpeting and fabric.  A nice alternative.   www.starkcarpet.com

    Ecolect-offers a "GreenBox" subscription service that delivers sustainable materials to the office, studio or classroom every 3 months.  Very cool signage and great education and information.  LOVED this!!  www.ecolect.net/greenbox

    EchoWood-environmentally responsible wood products.  They manipulate common wood fiber through computer design to reporduce the natural appearance of nearly any species of wood the client desires.  Check them out at www.hardwoods-inc.com 

    Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co-nice small start-up company.  The BEST product was the bamboo chair mats...can be used on carpet or hard flooring surfaces so your office chair doesn't scratch the floor!  Loved it.  They also have area rugs made from bamboo, jute, sisal and seagrass fibers.  www.anjimountain.com

    DuPont-introduced the new Sorona, renwably sourced fiber for commercial applications.  This fiber is derived from renewable feedstocks, rather than petroleum.  Another nice alternative if you must have carpeting in your space.www.sonora.dupont.com

    Sherwin-Williams-As we know I also love Sherwin Williams paint products.  I feel they definitely lead the way in eco-friendly products and innovation.  They have teamed up w/Robert Allen fabrics.  4 color schemes: Tulip, Terrain, Leaf and Hydrangea (my fave).  Great color schemes and patterns.  Cards are available to make the matching easier.  www.sherwin-williams.com

    RealBio-the newest innovation from Canada in ....foam!  They came up w/3 densities of foam from "cushy" (which you'd use for seat cushion) and denser version (which would make up the body or structure of whatever you were building, and a "hard" foam that can actually be made into columns!  Definitely for commercial applications.  www.foamforthefuture.com

    SkyFactory-I've written about this company before w/their virtual windows.  They've now come up w/a virtual window that is actually a movie screen...Think your favorite "white noise" CD (Bach by the Ocean) but w/pictures!  There is an actual player w/disc that is connected to the window/screen...and you are immediately transported to the beach, the woods, a garden...LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!  Great if you live in the northern tundra and are craving the beach...bring on the Jimmy Buffett music, crank up the heat and a cocktail and you're good to go...  www.skyfactory.com

    CanvasPress-no frame artwork....  www.canvaspress.com

    Astek Inc-custom design and digital print  Astek Wallcovering has taken great strides in going "green" by using eco-friendly UVcured inks and the ability to print onto environmentally friendly substrates.  No VOCs.  www.asktewallcovering.com

    Benjamin Moore-introduced their line of eco-friendly paint called Natura interior waterborne paints.  Beautiful packaging and can color match anything.  www.benjaminmoore.com

    Hope this gives you an idea of what's out there!  While strides to going more sustainable and eco-friendly, most of the products were geared to being LEED acceptable..which is GREAT, but still has a way to go.  Hey, they're trying...

    July 5th we talk to Deb Mendez of Calming Collars!  This will be a fun interview...

    CasaVerde: an Integrative Lifestyle Design show...w/Eco-Me

    Hey Everyone-
    Wasn't today's show interesting?  I LOVE speaking to interesting people, with GREAT stories and learning about a business that is making a positive impact on other people's lives!

    Jenn Mihajlov from Eco-Me was a fabulous guest!  The history of Eco-Me is interesting...

    Eco-Me was created as a line of cleaning kits to help people make their own natural, non-toxic, chemical-free products. In March of 2005 Robin (founder) 36-year-old sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. How does a healthy, athletic, spiritual and nutritionally organic young woman face the challenges of breast cancer?  Robin started doing research on the cleaners and took this family tragedy (with a HAPPY ending!) and did something positive by creating the Eco-Me line of products.  (Robin's sister is doing great and has since married and had a baby!). 

    Eco-Me has a wide range of products for ALL family members: adults, children, babies & pets.  Products come in the "do-it-yourself" kits and now pre-packaged cleaning products as well.  Check out their site at www.eco-me.com.  Here you will find all the products, articles and info on WHY you should consider natural cleaning products, and all of the contact info.  You can follow them on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

    Until next time....

    CasaVerde: The Greening of the Casino industry w/Eric Hansel of EGM Green


    Hey Everyone-
    What a cool topic today, hey?  Eric is an incredibly knowledgable man and I learned a lot from him.  Who knew that the utility company charged you at the "peak" spike even if it's not the average...I didn't...Wow.


    More about our guest:
    Eric Hansel, President of EGM Green elected to serve as Chairman of the Standards Committee for sustainable gaming.   Eric Hansel founded EGM in 2005 selling casino equipment to the general public, and then EGM Green in 2007. EGM Green designs and manufactures the worlds only eco-friendly casino tables and furniture while providing LEED services and green consulting. Eric has used his knowledge of the industry and his long-term sales and marketing background to bring sustainability on a large scale into the casino industry. He writes for many trade publications and produces an article on Green Gaming each month for Casino Journal.  Eric has formed a multi-disciplenary team whose goal is to make slot machines more energy efficient by 50% within 5 years. Eric is also a board member for his local branch of the USGBC (United States Green Building Council) and a business counselor for SCORE (Service Core Of Retired Executives). Eric is also on the ethics committee for the WPA (World Poker Association).

    EGM Green Services:

    EGM Green can help you customize your casino, hotel, spa or home with environmentally friendly furniture. Furniture can be designed and manufactured specifically for your project. EGM Green can assist you in developing a plan for your environment then detailing a custom plan and budget for your specific needs.

    EGM Green Consulting Services:

    • Energy Reports
    • Preliminary Energy Studies (PES)
    • Comprehensive Energy Studies (CES)
    • MEP Design - Utilizing one or more Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs)
    • Construction Administration (CA)
    • Project Management (PM)
    • Building Commissioning for New & Existing Properties
    • Feasibility Energy Analysis
    • Training & On-Going Technical Support
    • Advanced Metering Solutions (Internet Based)


    Today we learned how casinos (and other spaces) can lower energy costs by up to 20% by switching out lights, and that by using the EGM Green patented "switch" that the HVAC system can be set to turn on/off sectors of rooms to save on energy costs.  (Opposite corners are shut off and then turned on when the other corners shut-off).

    EGM Green is a venture by Executive Gaming Monthly (EGM) to bring 100% Eco-Friendly gaming products to casino and luxury markets.

    Applying sustainable design principles to poker tables and other casino products can significantly reduce volumes of waste and decrease use of natural resources and lower impacts on ecosystems. And your patrons will appreciate your use of eco-friendly products.  Products are made here in the US (PA to be exact) and are made from wood that is sustainably harvested. 


    ****Anyone who purchases something from EGM Green (blackjack table, poker table...) AND mentions CASAVERDE radio show gets 20% OFF their purchase!!!!  Support our guests!***
