Northwest Renewable Energy Corporation

 

Description:

North West Renewable Energy invests and researches in “green technology” through taking common electrical energy consuming building components and redesigning them to be solar powered and energy efficient. We specialize in creating environmentally friendly products with no grid supplied energy consumption with simple installation and improved innovative results. Upfront initial investment in converting conventional operational systems to new unique photovoltaic power pays for itself with no running cost and no additional fees.

NWREC’s mission is the redesign of “non-green” components, products and practices that have been used in the commercial and industrial construction markets for decades. Transforming components, products and practices into a “green” component by which a clear and decisive benefit of the new redesigned “green” product will naturally fit itself into the marketplace due to its high level of performance. Components, products and practices that have for years been implemented without regard to their efficiencies. NWREC pursues not only the redesign of building components but also oversees the in-house manufacturing of the new “green” products, bringing them into the commercial and building construction markets.

NWREC cooperates with structural and mechanical engineering firms, state and federal agencies whose aim is the oversight of energy efficient retrofitting of commercial and industrial structures and facilities.
