NY Fitness Facility Selects American DG Energy as Green Energy Provider

American DG Energy will produce clean energy in the form of electricity, space heat and domestic hot water at Club Fit Jefferson Valley and sell it to the fitness facility at a price lower than the local energy utility.  Club Fit will pay only for the energy used by the facility and will avoid all capital, installation and operating costs.  The energy will be produced with small-scale, combined heat and power equipment , located at the property site but owned and operated by American DG Energy.  The Company will also handle all service, maintenance and repair; therefore, Club Fit will not need to provide manpower to support the equipment.

CHP systems offer considerable environmental benefits when compared with purchased electricity and on-site-generated heat from a boiler.  By capturing and utilizing heat that would otherwise be wasted from the production of electricity, CHP systems require less fuel than equivalent separate heat and power systems to produce the same amount of energy.  Because less fuel is combusted, greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, as well as air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, are reduced.  The CHP system planned for Club Fit is expected to reduce the property's emissions by up to 367 tons of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of removing the carbon emissions of 61 cars each year.*

*Figures were calculated using the EPA CHP Partnership emissions calculator.

Thomas Patrick Chuna | Five O'Clock Club

For fifteen years, Tom has been an independent recruiter and job search coach. He pursued Five O’Clock Club Coach Certification because the Club’s strong methodology affords a better way to help more job seekers. Because of Tom’s experience he understands how today’s hiring authorities read résumés, conduct interviews, and (usually) screen candidates OUT.  Tom makes his living teaching people to position themselves properly to avoid elimination, and to interview well.

“My favorite part of being a recruiter has always been working with the candidates, preparing them to interview well, and really teaching them how to identify and go after opportunities the right way. Many recruiters just forward a résumé and hope for the best, leaving candidates on their own. Being an advocate of the candidate is unusual for a recruiter, and this is what led me to launch a coaching practice in 2002, to help the job seekers I could not help as a recruiter. I am a coach first and foremost, and the Five O’Clock Club methodology helps me help job seekers put themselves in the best position to win.”

Tom has unique work experiences that augment his coaching abilities. With American Clean Energy Systems, he was a published technical author and speaker, on the subjects of clean fuels and eco-friendly lubricants for industry. He has presented “from the shop floor to the top floor.” He has researched and written white papers and led training seminars for a nationwide distribution team. He was invited to speak on behalf of the US Environmental Protection Agency’s “Smartway Transport Program” by municipal planning agencies looking to solve diesel emission issues. At the same time he has maintained his job-search coaching private practice, and recruiting for a select few corporate clients.

Bottom line: Tom has the ability to teach the Five O’Clock Club methodology to a wide variety of people, and he is committed to helping job seekers WIN at interviewing.
