Smartest Neighbourhood in Canada
One of our greatest accomplishments was in beating Google; they’ve been talking about developing a Smart Community at the Toronto Waterfront for over 2 years and we got tired of listening to all the politics behind it so we secretly went ahead and developed a smart community project north of Toronto. We held an international RFQ with literally hundreds of technologies evaluated, and we finally selected 12 engineering firms and 5 electrical companies to participate, and the clients didn’t have to spend a penny for over $1 million in turn-key installations thanks to the Neutopia eco-Investment Network.
What did we do? The entire neighbourhood is ‘connected’ to a new Smart Hybrid Micro-Grid with automatic switching systems and full autonomy (they were completely off-grid all winter but can easily switch back and forth if ever needed). It includes all kinds of clean energy systems from energy generation, distribution, and storage, to recycling, up-cycling, monitoring, even self-correcting and is fully automatic – not a single employee is needed to control anything! Moreover, from site security, to the general store, to the community centre, to each residence –everything can be monitored from the central command centre or even via a Smart Phone. This super-high level of technology enabled us to uncover discrepancy’s between energy usage and their electricity bills; what a powerful feeling it is to have 10,000’s of data points to challenge your utility company on any mistakes you find!
Once we flipped the switch at the Smart Neighbourhood Master Control Center we cut the entire electricity bill by over 50% for all properties. We also cut waste management costs, water, and even have security connected to smart phone. Phase II includes poo power, which you probably don’t need much description to understand; the system will be connected to the Smart Grid and is able to convert human waste and all food waste into usable energy. This will immediately reduce propane and electricity costs, and of course waste disposal fees.
NO DATA or PRIVACY CONCERNS – everything is owned and stays with the property owners. They can sell it to advertising agencies if they want, like Google does, but if they do then they will get all the profit. It’s a very strange idea that any community leaders (especially Toronto) would even consider allowing a foreign company take ownership of any data of our citizens, why not OWN it and if you want to sell it then collect 100% of the profit and donate it to the Sick Kids hospital or do something creative for your own people? That whole project is a giant question mark about “Intent”…or simply a lack of understanding…or perhaps collusion and mis-management…which we’ve seen enough of all over Ontario (and it’s not illegal, just ask any property management company!).
Neutopia Eco-Development on Private Properties
Neutopia’s eco-Development Projects go above and beyond simply ‘saving’ on electricity costs for a current business or home; it takes into consideration the long-term sustainability of the property by diversifying revenue streams. By combining Neutopia’s expertise in various sustainability initiatives it enables us to introduce new ways to grow and market the business in order to significantly increase its profitability.
For all clients we are looking at bringing in various eco-Solutions to help the current operations go as much off-grid as possible, so it makes sense to look at the long-term vision of any property: What does the property owner want, and what is possible according to local laws and regulations, zoning, even the type of land and soil itself. This is exactly why it’s so important for any company to NOT focus on selling any one product or solution and instead work with what you have as a canvas / property, in order to customize a solution to what is possible; environmentally, technologically and financially.
We realized many property owners never harnessed their whole property to its full potential, so we came up with the idea of eco-rental sites as an attractive way to increase revenue. The problem that so many fail to realize is that you can’t simply renovate a basement or bedroom or invest in building a small apartment as a rental unit – you need to create a site of Wonder and Awe, a place of beauty that people will be willing to pay $250 or $350 per night to travel to and experience new memories that will excite their friends and/or keep them coming back for more. The idea is to create a place that harnesses the natural environment for all energy, water, waste…closed-loop sustainable living. A place embedded in nature, even creating new natural places like “Fountains of Wonder”; a park of meditation and relaxation, a greenhouse not just for vegetables, but a place that attracts birds and butterflies, with picnic area, a place people will travel to go and see, with art, poetry, or simply a place of reflection. All this will add to the marketability and secure a recurring supplementary income for years to come!
Who can do this?
This could be on a farm, next to an existing home in a rural area, or even a home in a bustling community. Neutopia is super creative and has no shortage of ideas on what can be done with any type of property. What we develop will depend on many variables, so the goal in Phase I is to start small and scale up with what we have to work with, and then coordinate with our international network of technology manufacturers and development specialists to start filtering out what is technological and economically feasible from what is not possible. This process includes component selecting and sizing and cost analysis, so there is NEVER any one solution for any property. Instead of trying to sell one idea, Neutopia creates a series of options for the landowner to consider.
Again, this depends on many factors and we must take into consideration the local land development rules and regulations to know how big we can go, but we can always stay small.
Our mini-ecoPark and ERS programs create a much greater business opportunity for all sites than would simply be provided by installing an “energy saving solution” solely to save on current electricity or propane expenses in a ‘life as usual’ scenario. We come up with a variety of options, and each option will have its Cost, Savings, Income Opportunity, Return on Investment, NPV, anything and everything a seasoned CFO or Accountant would want in order to make a sound business decision.
This is not just about ordering a new kitchen or renovating a bathroom; this is an important family decision about investing in your future, creating new income, and we like to think of it as helping people to remember their dreams that may have been pushed aside due to any of life’s many twists and turns, or to give them new ideas on a potential new future that they didn’t even realize was possible – so they can live a more fulfilling life…to bring purpose to their life. Neutopia goes far and above just being a Sustainability company -that’s something our past clients will happily share with new clients; we truly are unique in so many ways.
We help people to dream, but we have the technology and investment network to actually bring the ideas to life. We aren’t talkers, we are doers. Just look at our massive website. All of this is what makes Neutopia so special. It completely changes the dynamics of the business plan opportunity and immediately reduces the risk of investment. Of course, just doing Phase I doesn’t even legally bind anybody into moving forward with subsequent phases. We do it in phases because we appreciate that these are big decisions and we want our clients to feel 100% comfortable and see how each phase works out. And, we are happy to go slow and do a lot of hand-holding along the way.
The most important part is taking the first step, and that can be explained over a phone call and looking at our website, but we always want to meet in-person and show even more stuff than what is on our public website. We have a wealth of confidential corporate information, our secret-sauce, and tons of pictures to show happy clients and past projects.
What gets everyone excited right off the bat is that we can custom design a solution for any property, and that always starts with a small/ mini eco-Park project for existing buildings and starting with a few small eco-Vacation sites. We will include a bunch of options, but just knowing that at least a small project is possible and fits every type of land no matter if it’s in a rural area, a farm, a remote First Nations community, in the heart of the city, or on a deserted island. We just need to know what we have to work with and we can start scaling up from our mini scale according to the needs of each additional new structure.
24/7 Smart Monitoring
System(s) can include ERS Smart Monitoring. Such systems provide you with online access at any time (24/7) to monitor all quadrants of your electrical, water, waste, thermal, security, even vacancy / occupied notices.
The ERS Monitoring System will measure the systems 24/7/365. (ERS systems can also be turned on or off anytime to go back to ‘business as usual’ and bypass the ERS system altogether.) This adds an assurance that ‘the grid is always there as a back-up if needed’. The solutions are designed with a built-in redundancy and safety features to eliminate any possibility of a system failure having any impact on your business.
Furthermore, having a measuring system connected to computer monitoring software keeps track of every detail and makes it easy to measure and quantify the exact energy so there is never any guessing how much a business is consuming and seeing the exact savings.
Neutopia manages the full turn-key installation of ERS Solutions and works with the business owner to ensure little to no interruption to business during the implementation.
ecoFinancing Option
Since we only focus on proven technologies by leading brand manufacturers we were able to create an eco-Investment Network eager to invest/lend/finance in these types of projects. Multiple quotes will be prepared upon submission of the eco-financing application form. You get to choose which terms and payback option best suits your budget. You can opt to keep some of your savings and use the rest to pay off the system over the coming years. We are very flexible for a wide variety of client types and financial histories.
***We are proud to have helped fund some historical projects and we will be making a documentary one of these days! We want to share our success with new clients and new Ambassadors that we train all over the world. We have big ideas and big plans, and a blueprint to bring it all to fruition.
Feasibility Studies are Over – Education & Implementation is Happening Now
An unprecedented study was conducted (over 500,000 km traveled) to confirm our calculations and savings opportunities across a wide variety of client types including office buildings, warehouses, apartments, hotels, industrial sites, and even farms which we all know NEED to increase their bottom line and benefit from energy conservation initiatives.
Forget about “High Efficiency” – we’re already light-years ahead of the Curve!
Neutopia has been preparing a massive marketing campaign and business expansion that will including the training of 10,000 reps (including a program for people with special needs) across Canada and will be holding training sessions in major cities across the country.
We invited 1,500 mayors and city councillors and all members of parliament to notify their business associations and all business owners, small and large, that we figured out how to cut the bills 20% to 50% for all businesses without changing out any existing equipment. We tracked all emails, collected data on who opened them, who was informed, who did nothing, and who wanted to participate. We are now working directly with private business owners (we are not opposed to anything the utility companies are doing, we just created an easier and faster way for people to save). We will be showcasing these community leaders at our Neutopia Day being planned at the Toronto Convention Centre, along with special guests and key speakers who will share their stories of how Neutopia came to their rescue!
Forestry
Neutopia trained 100’s of representatives from Canada’s forestry industry at 2 major forestry conferences (even sharing the stage with a provincial Hydro Company) to explain various opportunities all over the country, and we demonstrated how our ERS Solutions can cut electricity bills at forestry operations by over 50%. This can help so many companies.
Farms
Neutopia conducted our first farm study to determine how integrating our ERS Solution can immediately cut the utility costs of the farm; the results were a whopping 24%. With ERS we can even include optional solar panels, wind, and biogas systems (any on-site generation) with a significantly faster payback (while eliminating the need for added inverters) and by increasing the productivity and reducing the wasted energy all measured and guaranteed well in advance of installation. Our predictive analytics surpass anything else we’ve seen.
Grocery Stores
Neutopia has received many requests from some of the largest Grocery Store chains in the country. We’ve met with many franchise owners who have all asked for help. Unfortunately, repeated requests for participation got stopped at the head office of the company that owns the chains, for reasons that seem obvious but for which we’ll turn our heads to focus on other more positive things; like being recruited by our first independently owned and managed Grocery Store! Our preliminary estimates are showing a greater than 50% cut off the total electricity bill is possible. When we complete the project we don’t think anybody will be able to stop that news from reaching the major newspapers, and finally many companies head offices could be investigated for having prevented energy savings. At least we can help the independent owners who pay their own bills and manage their own buildings.
Apartment Complexes
Neutopia is the company behind the world’s smartest Apartment Complex, located in Mississauga, Ontario. Installed in 2017, the ERS solution included huge cuts to operating costs, and the whole package came complete with complete building monitoring technology.
The Property Managers are able to see every second of energy use in real time. No more cheesy annual or monthly graphs with useless information provided by the utility companies; now the PM’s get to see every detail imaginable in real time; when a light-switch is turned on, a fan, pump, motor, even seeing a leak and fixing it before an emergency. All without installing expensive sensors all over the building – and no crazy monthly service fees…those days are over now that true ERS Efficiency Repurposing Solutions are here.
What’s more – we connect their property to their smart phones and even send a text message or alert when something happens that requires immediate attention. Complete and total building management now in the palm of their hand. Now imagine…if only our Community Leaders would wake up and adopt this for our schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, all government buildings, even water treatment plants, landfills, airports, police cruisers…the list is endless. You could even have a loved one’s health monitor connected to your own cell!
Neutopia HOME ERS Solution – Savings are Guaranteed with 20 year warranty
Studies conducted in the 1950’s through to the 1980’s revealed that most electricity-savings technologies were too expensive and/or did not apply for residential implementation. We’ve done studies that prove this to be incorrect; we achieved savings as high as 57% measured 24/7 and realized in the monthly bills! We have now installed in retail, commercial, and homes with immediate savings. All small business owners can benefit immediately!
Neutopia and Indigenous People’s
Neutopia is already working with First Nations communities and has also met with representatives of The Métis Nation of Ontario regarding a province-wide Neutopia Ambassador Training Program. Neutopia has the exclusive program rights worldwide.
