STATE COLLEGE, PA UNITED STATES
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Earth Day, Good Steward Software announces the release of GreenQuest, a personal energy efficiency website. Details about GreenQuest are located at www.MyGreenQuest.com. GreenQuest is powered by EnergyCAP, which has been the best-selling energy management software for 30 years.
GreenQuest meets three important objectives. First, it is a valuable marketing and communications tool for organizations that sign up to sponsor a privately-branded GreenQuest website. In turn, sponsors provide their private GreenQuest site to their customers, residents, tax payers, etc. Second, GreenQuest makes it easy for anyone who pays utility bills for a single building--house, office building, apartment, restaurant, church, school, etc. to get a handle on their energy use and environmental impact. And third, businesses using GreenQuest can receive an ENERGY STAR rating for their building through an automated submittal process.
"There has never been a better time to promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability," explained Chris S. Heinz, Director of Marketing for Good Steward Software, "and organizations are always looking for new, cost-effective marketing and communications tools. GreenQuest unites those elements in one application." Heinz continued, "GreenQuest will bring real value to anyone who pays utility bills, whether commercial or residential. And every time a GreenQuest user logs in to enter and analyze his utility bills, he'll see the sponsor's message. Based on the high level of sponsorship interest we have already received from a wide range of organizations, including businesses, non-profits, state and local governments, and others, we are very excited about GreenQuest's potential."
Organizations benefit from GreenQuest by sponsoring a privately-branded GreenQuest website and making it available free-of-charge to employees, customers, or residents. When users visit the sponsored GreenQuest site each month to enter their utility bills and analyze the results, they see the sponsor's ads, coupons, or other important news. GreenQuest is viral and sticky, as users promote the sponsoring organization by sharing the GreenQuest link with their friends, family, and co-workers. In addition, sponsors will have access to GreenQuest data through a secure, convenient Web interface, enabling them to target marketing and communications messages.
GreenQuest's innovative design enables any single household or organization to track its electric, fuel, and water bills. The application provides easy-to-understand, informative charts and benchmarks that make it easy for users to track monthly utility usage and cost, obtain an ENERGY STAR building rating, compare energy usage to peers, evaluate energy conservation efforts, see how the weather impacts energy usage, determine their property's carbon footprint, and more.
Good Steward Software is recognized across North America as the producer of EnergyCAP(R), the best-selling energy accounting software for 30 years. More than 1,000 organizations, including state and local governments, colleges and universities, retail chains, school districts, and energy consultants, currently use EnergyCAP to track and analyze more than $3 billion in annual energy expenditures.
