Edward Rose & Sons Selects SmartRent as Its Smart Home Provider

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SmartRent, a provider of smart home automation for property owners, managers, developers and residents, today announced a partnership with Edward Rose & Sons to install SmartRent smart home solutions across its portfolio of 66,000, and growing,…

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SmartRent, a provider of smart home automation for property owners, managers, developers and residents, today announced a partnership with Edward Rose & Sons to install SmartRent smart home solutions across its portfolio of 66,000, and growing, apartment homes. The company, which develops and operates properties throughout the Midwest, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, will implement the solutions in both its existing communities and all future developments.

«Our communities are long-term investments, so we needed a true business partner to help us implement smart home technology across our portfolio,» said Jason Kessler, COO of Edward Rose & Sons. «It was important to us to work with a company that specialized in multifamily solutions, offered the right technology platforms, integrated with our property management software and provided the support and guidance needed for a successful rollout. SmartRent met all of these requirements.»

Edward Rose is focused on installing SmartRent’s smart home platform that includes hub locks and thermostats. By meeting the demand for in-unit technology, the platform, which connects to a resident’s favorite voice assistant, helps operators drive lead-to-lease conversions, retain residents and boost NOI.

«Typically, smart home technology is associated with new urban-core high-rise developments. Having the opportunity to bring these smart features to suburbs and rural neighborhoods opens up a door for us to differentiate ourselves in the market,» Kessler said. «If we can improve our residents’ quality of life with smart home features, our resident retention increases and our operational costs decrease with less turnover, less advertising and marketing and reduced vacancy loss. In addition, smart home technology enables our team members to work more efficiently, allowing them to devote additional time and resources on improving the resident experience. The benefits are truly significant and wide-ranging.»

SmartRent’s smart home automation solution equips residents with one robust app that provides complete control and remote management of their devices and home settings. When a resident moves out, site staff can easily transfer the apartment or home from occupied to vacant, triggering a succession of automated actions. Communities can create their ideal «Vacant Mode» automations to have access codes removed from locks, work orders created for turn requests and energy saving modes activated, like having the thermostat temperature adjusted and lights switched off.

«We could not be more excited to begin this partnership with Edward Rose,» said Demetrios Barnes, COO of SmartRent. «It was immediately obvious how dedicated they are to adopting solutions that offer truly outstanding experiences and efficiencies for both their residents and their associates. We are honored they have chosen to partner with us to make those experiences and efficiencies happen.»

In a City Hard Hit by the Pandemic, Fisher Brothers Complete Indoor Air Quality Projects to Enhance Safety in the Firm’s Iconic New York City Buildings

PORT OF PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — RGF® Environmental Group, Inc., a leader in environmental design and manufacturing, is pleased to announce the completion of a significant indoor air quality (IAQ) enhancement project spanning five Class A buildings in…

PORT OF PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — RGF® Environmental Group, Inc., a leader in environmental design and manufacturing, is pleased to announce the completion of a significant indoor air quality (IAQ) enhancement project spanning five Class A buildings in New York City. Under the design and installation supervision of Clean Sciences Solutions, RGF’s proprietary products with PHI-Cell® technology has been deployed, protecting over 8 million square feet of premier indoor office, commercial and residential space. Owned by Fisher Brothers, this leap forward in indoor air quality enhancement serves as an added layer of protection for tenants, employees, residents and visitors against the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

 

RGF’s air treatment solutions inactivated over 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces and over 99.5% of the aerosolized form.

 «Fisher Brothers is committed to ‘Excellence in Offices‘, and as a fourth-generation company, our history is tied to that of New York City. We want to contribute to the return of a vibrant Manhattan through the adoption and deployment of world-class air treatment solutions for the hundreds of thousands of individuals who work and live in and visit our buildings,» notes Kenneth Fisher, Co-Managing Partner of Fisher Brothers. «We are committed to a safe work environment for our neighbors, friends and colleagues.»

«As a national leader in the fight to overcome the global pandemic, RGF is working tirelessly in the deployment of our industry-leading, patented air purification products in office buildings across the United States,» notes Tony Julian, Vice President of Commercial Products, RGF Environmental Group, Inc. «This project provides improved indoor air quality for some of Manhattan’s most iconic buildings. We are pleased to partner with Clean Science Solutions and Fisher Brothers as leaders in their field.»

Thomas Misisco, CEO of Clean Science Solutions, notes, «Fisher Brothers is leading the way to a higher standard in Indoor Air Quality for Manhattan office and residential buildings. With the installation of RGF’s air treatment solutions, Fisher Brothers demonstrates their commitment to tenant and resident safety.»

The full-scale installation of RGF’s PHI Cell® technology was performed following a pilot program overseen by multiple third-party independent laboratory consultants. The pilot project compared baseline air quality measurements against space with active PHI-Cell® technologies installed. As a part of the pilot, engineers introduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the test space. The laboratory results confirmed that RGF’s equipment rapidly and effectively eliminated the VOCs. While the pilot project was active, the building engineers began preparation and planning for continued IAQ equipment installation. Upon review of the successful pilot project and confirmation of the findings, installation throughout five buildings commenced and was completed according to a fast-tracked schedule.

The five buildings include:

Not only does RGF technology effectively eliminate VOCs, but RGF’s active air treatment solution also kills bacteria and viruses on surfaces and in the air. An independent third-party study evaluated the efficacy of RGF’s proprietary products with PHI-Cell® technology in the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2. The study demonstrated a rate of effectiveness that is greater than 99.9% against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The testing, performed at the Innovative Bioanalysis Laboratories in Cypress, California, looked at neutralizing the virus within the occupied space in the air and on surfaces.

Video results of the study can be viewed here:

Peoples’ Climate Vote: Biggest Ever Survey of Public Opinion on Climate Change Finds Support for Wide Ranging Action

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

Full release here, and report here.

Sixty-four percent of people say climate change is a global emergency according to results of the Peoples’ Climate Vote, the world’s biggest ever survey of public opinion on climate change, published today. Results will be shared with governments in a pivotal year for climate action, with negotiations at the UN Climate Summit in November in Glasgow, UK. 

The survey, organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the University of Oxford, engaged 1.22m people in 50 countries. It was distributed across mobile gaming networks in order to include hard-to-reach audiences, including 550,000 people under 18 – a key constituency on climate change.

Respondents were asked if climate change was a global emergency and whether they supported eighteen key climate policies across six areas: economy, energy, transport, food & farms, nature and protecting people.  

The most popular climate policies were conserving forests and land (54% public support), more solar, wind and renewable power (53%), adopting climate-friendly farming techniques (52%) and investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%). 

Results showed support for broad climate policies beyond the current state of play. In eight of the ten survey countries with the highest emissions from the power sector, majorities backed more renewable energy. In four out of the five countries with highest emissions from land-use change, there was majority support for conserving forests and land. Nine out of ten of the countries with most urbanized populations backed increased use of clean electric cars and buses, or bicycles.

UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner said: «The results clearly illustrate that urgent climate action has broad support amongst people around the globe, across nationalities, age, gender and education level. But more than that, the poll reveals how people want their policymakers to tackle the crisis and signals ways in which countries can move forward with public support as we work together to tackle this enormous challenge.»

Younger people (aged 14-18) were more likely to say climate change is an emergency than older people, with nearly 70% saying this. Other age groups were not far behind, with 65% of those 18-35 agreeing, 66% aged 36-59, and 58% over 60.

Prof. Stephen Fisher, Department of Sociology, University of Oxford, said: «The Peoples’ Climate Vote has delivered a treasure trove of data on public opinion that we’ve never seen before. Recognition of the climate emergency is much more widespread than previously thought and most people clearly want a strong and wide-raging policy response.»

The Clean Economy Employment Now («CLEEN») Project Launches Nation’s First Database with Actionable Ideas for Federal Leaders to Combat Climate Change, «Build Back Better,» and Advance Climate Justice

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The CLEEN Project announces the launch of our nation’s first co-operative database of actionable ideas to combat climate change, Build Back Better, and advance climate justice. Designed specifically for federal leaders, <a target="_blank"…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The CLEEN Project announces the launch of our nation’s first co-operative database of actionable ideas to combat climate change, Build Back Better, and advance climate justice. Designed specifically for federal leaders, the database is searchable by the Biden-Harris administration’s «Build Back Better» industry verticals, governmental authority, and specific types of governmental action, such as public-private partnerships, procurement, tax credits, and White House-led initiatives.

«There now exists a common home for climate solutions that dramatically eases idea discovery and sharing by federal leaders and helps amplify the great work of climate-focused think tanks, environmental justice organizations, private sector actors, and policy experts. This new and inclusive home is the result of the commitment and enthusiasm of hundreds of climate leaders and experts who want to help the Biden-Harris Administration tackle some of our nation’s most pressing problems.» 
Jeffrey Tannenbaum, Advisory Board member; Founder, sPower LLC

«In less than 20 years, we have gone from decarbonization of the electricity grid being impossible to the President of the United States saying that it has to be done by 2035. There is an essential role for the government to play in setting the rules not just in electricity but in all areas that need to be decarbonized, and this is a powerful tool that will help advance the battle against climate change.»
Jigar Shah, Advisory Board member; Co-Founder, Generate Capital; Founder, SunEdison.

«Frontline communities have borne the brunt of climate change. As we Build Back Better, it’s critical that we not continue to perpetuate economic and environmental injustices. In addition to proposing policies that center equity and primarily serve frontline communities, we screened recommendations to prevent adversely impacting already overburdened communities.»
Anna Lising, Advisory Board member; Climate Justice Advocate

«We have taken a highly pragmatic approach by focusing on actionability and are delighted to note that more than two-thirds of the current database can be implemented under existing government authority. It is a great mix of actionable ideas and some heavier lifts that may get across the finish line as part of a stimulus bill or budget reconciliation.»
Greg Kats, Advisory Board member; CEO, Smart Surfaces Coalition

«Federal climate leaders now have access to a first-of-a-kind database of concrete, actionable policies to rapidly ‘Build Back Better.’ Many of Clean Energy for Biden’s 13,000 volunteers contributed to The CLEEN Project to build this inclusive and robust database for tackling carbon pollution while supporting a clean economy.»   
Nidhi Thakar, Advisory Board Member; Co-Chair, Clean Energy for Biden; Former Senior Advisor for Loan Programs Office, US Department of Energy

This decade will be the most decisive ever in human history in what we enact to address the climate crisis, equity, and health. The CLEEN Project is an innovative structure that addresses some of the finest of what we can devise in policy, technology, financing, organizing and deployment strategies that will be valuable to all levels of government, the private sector, and civil society. I’m personally hoping we can find a way for the Project to continue and expand through the first year of the new Administration.» 
Heidi VanGenderen, Advisory Board Member; Former Director of Public Engagement, US Department of Energy

HALIFAX, NS, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) («GoGold», «the Company») is pleased to release the results of the initial 6 diamond drill holes from the new discovery called El Orito in its Los Ricos North project.  All 6 holes have intersected significant zones of epithermal silver, gold, and base metal sulfide mineralization as shown in Table 1.  These are the first drill holes ever to test El Orito. 

Drill hole LRGO-20-005 intersected 43.0m averaging 322.7 g/t AgEq consisting of 49.0 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.45% Cu, 2.99% Pb and 4.69% Zn, including 14.3m of 537.8 g/t AgEq.  Drill hole LRGO-20-002, 400m away from LRGO-20-005, intersected 63.4m of 171.0 g/t AgEq consisting of 75.8 g/t Ag, 0.06 g/t Au, 0.16% Cu, 3.00% Pb, and 0.14% Zn, including 6.7m of 685.9 g/t AgEq.  See Figures 2 and 3 for drill hole locations.

«We are really excited about this new discovery which is 1.2km to the west of the El Favor deposit.  These are the first holes that have ever been drilled in this area of Los Ricos North.  These strong results further strengthen our belief that Los Ricos North is a very large mineralized system,» said Brad Langille, President and CEO.  «For Los Ricos we see 2021 being a year where more resources may be defined, and there is the potential for further discoveries like El Orito. «

The El Orito deposit is located about 1,200 meters to the west along strike from the El Favor deposit and continues westward for 1,000 meters (see Figure 1).  In the fall of 2020, geological mapping teams observed several areas of historical mine workings and found several outcrops of silver and gold bearing quartz veins within a 50m wide by 750m long zone of silicification and epithermal alteration.  A nearby second zone of quartz veining was found within a 35m wide by 700m long zone of silicification which was about 300m to the south of and parallel to the first vein.  Both zones are dipping steeply to the north between -70 to -75 degrees.

The known strike length of the El Orito – El Favor structure is now approaching 2,500 meters and is still open in both directions.  The surface topography at El Orito is 400 to 500m lower compared to El Favor and is allowing the exploration team to see this large mineralized structure over a vertical height of 750 meters when measured from the surface outcrops at El Favor to the intersections in the El Orito drill holes.  The drilling at El Favor has only tested the first 200m down dip and over the coming weeks and months the exploration team will continue to explore the silver and gold zones at El Favor, La Trini and many of the other targets in Los Ricos North. The team will also focus on the significant El Orito silver/gold-base-metal sulfide discovery.

The first three holes (LRGO-20-001, 002 and 003) were drilled from the same collar at dips of -45, -60 and -75 degrees to test the down dip continuity of the mineralization of the first deposit.  Hole LRGO-20-004 was moved about 25m to the east and hole LRGO-20-005 was collared along strike about 400m to the west of holes 1, 2 and 3.   Hole LRGO-20-006 was collared to test the second zone of alteration.  (See Figure 2 for a map of the drill hole locations).

Detailed intersections are listed in Table 1 with drill hole locations included in Table 2. A plan view of El Orito, El Favor, Casados, and Mololoa is included as Figure 1.  Figure 2 shows the El Orito area and the drill hole locations.  Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section of El Orito and El Favor.

Los Ricos District Exploration Projects
The Company’s two exploration projects at its Los Ricos property are in Jalisco state, Mexico.  The Los Ricos South Project began in March 2019 and includes the ‘Main’ area, which is focused on drilling around a number of historical mines including El Abra, El Troce, San Juan, and Rascadero, as well as the Cerro Colorado, Las Lamas and East Vein targets.  An initial resource on the Los Ricos South project was announced on July 29, 2020 and indicated a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 63.7 million ounces AgEq grading 199 g/t AgEq contained in 10.0 million tonnes, and an Inferred Resource of 19.9 million ounces AgEq grading 190 g/t AgEq contained in 3.3 million tonnes.  An initial PEA on the project was announced on January 20, 2021 indicating an NPV5% of US$295M.

The Los Ricos North Project was launched in March 2020 and includes drilling at the El Favor, La Trini, and El Orito targets.  During 2020, GoGold’s exploration team identified over 100 targets on the Los Ricos North properties, demonstrating the significant exploration potential.  The Company plans to drill 10 of these targets as part of its 2021 drilling program which is planned to exceed 100,000 metres of drilling and will be one of the largest in Mexico.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification 
The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work. 

The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 50-gram charge by fire assay (Code 1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).

Quality assurance and quality control («QA/QC») procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data.  All results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold’s QA/QC protocols.
