WAYNE, N.J., Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Donnelly Energy and Sawyer Lyons Buick GMC are proud to announce the completion of their comprehensive energy efficiency partnership with the kick-off of the Randolph dealership’s solar array. Now live, the rooftop solar energy system marks the end of a year-long comprehensive sustainability project at the Randolph dealership that included energy-efficiency upgrades to their lighting and HVAC systems through Direct Install from SAVEGREEN® by New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG). Direct Install provides a turnkey and affordable solution for NJNG customers to reduce energy costs by replacing outdated equipment and systems with energy-efficient alternatives.

 

Sawyer Lyons had sustainability in their mind, having already invested in energy-efficient LED lighting in a few key areas on their own. Through their membership with NJCAR, partners at Sawyer Lyons learned about Donnelly Energy and consulted with the Wayne-based energy efficiency firm on ways they could further improve their facility in their efforts to become environmental stewards.

Donnelly Energy conducted a free, non-invasive assessment of the dealership, determining additional areas of improvement regarding their lighting, and found they also had outdated natural gas-powered boilers that were over 25 years old. They also surveyed Sawyer Lyons’s rooftop to scope out a custom solar energy system to further elevate their energy efficiency.

“It is always a pleasure to work with a client who is motivated and ready to invest in solar energy, while also taking into account the need for energy efficiency,” said Justin Avallone, VP of Utility Programs at Donnelly Energy. “Sawyer Lyons was ready to take advantage of local energy efficiency programs and is a big advocate for clean energy in commercial uses. Collaborations like these are what make our work so fulfilling.”

The first phase of the energy-efficiency transformation focused on replacing one 1.7 million BTU boiler with two new units at 97% efficiency, as well as upgrading lighting to LED for some missing areas. As a participating contractor in Direct Install, Donnelly Energy helped Sawyer Lyons navigate the program and receive a 0%* APR on-bill repayment option through SAVEGREEN to help make the energy-efficiency upgrades affordable.

Once the lighting and HVAC portion of the project was complete, Donnelly Energy got to work on the second phase of Sawyer Lyons’s clean energy investment: solar. The firm designed a custom 163 KW solar energy system that would fit on the dealership’s rooftop, consisting of 937 panels. The project would also be eligible to receive federal tax credits, depreciation credits, and Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECS)**.

Now that the solar energy system is live, it is expected to reduce Sawyer Lyons’s electricity by 88%.

Sawyer Lyons Buick GMC of Randolph has a proven track record in areas such as energy reduction, renewable energy use, water conservation efforts, recycling, onsite nature habitats, and community outreach. The progressive car dealership is showing customers its environmental credentials and was named a 2022 certified Green Dealer, an honor given to only 280 GM dealerships nationwide. 

“Our dealership’s sustainability performance is important to customers, employees, and the community, as well as operational efficiency,” said Todd Sawyer, Partner at Sawyer Lyons. “When doing large energy efficiency upgrade projects, it is extremely important to work with a company that is an established expert. I analyzed every number down to the penny and every project we undertook with Donnelly made sense financially.  Coming from the construction industry prior to owning car dealerships, I can tell you that Donnelly Energy is as good as it gets.  From the original analysis to contracts, to project management, to completion, the team at Donnelly was on top of their game throughout the entire process.”

New Jersey’s clean energy future is well on its way, with businesses like Sawyer Lyons Buick GMC leading the way to implement and advocate sustainability in commercial spaces. Donnelly Energy is proud to be a partner in the effort to help the Garden State lower its energy usage and carbon emissions, as well as invest in renewables.

By

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As a dog owner, you may have often heard your furry friend coughing, whether it’s a dry hack or a honking sound. Though it might seem trivial, these coughs can cause serious discomfort for your furry friend and create anxiety for you as a caring pet parent.

DOCTORBY’s BREATH CARE is a nutritional supplement designed to support bronchial health in dogs, currently gaining attention among many pet owners on Shopee.

Coughing in dogs can be triggered by various factors, including temperature fluctuations, strong air conditioning, and dust or debris inhaled during walks. Additionally, as dogs age, their bronchial immunity can weaken, leading to potential health issues.

BREATH CARE contains a blend of functional ingredients like the plant-based complex extract TF-343, magnesium, and propolis, which can help alleviate respiratory issues such as coughing and support the elimination of waste accumulated in the bronchial passages.[1] With a taste dogs love, it doubles as a treat, making it incredibly easy for pet owners to administer. Furthermore, it has passed heavy metal and toxicity tests, ensuring safety without the use of synthetic sweeteners or colorings.

Currently, BREATH CARE ranks as one of the top products in Shopee’s pet nutrition and supplement category. In May 2024, it achieved the number one sales position in the pet nutrition category on Shopee Singapore, garnering immense popularity. Shopee has reported a staggering 3,000% growth in sales compared to 2023. Notably, DOCTORBY has not only topped the charts on Shopee but has also held the number one position on Amazon Japan for 22 consecutive weeks, establishing itself as a leader in the South Korean pet nutrition market and rapidly expanding in the global market.

For cat owners, the cat-specific bronchial supplement, CAT BREATH CARE, is also enjoying tremendous popularity. Additionally, DOCTORBY offers a variety of health supplements, including ‘SKIN & COAT’ for skin support, ‘EYES CARE’ for eye health and tear stain improvement, and ‘HAIRBALL CARE’ to assist with hairball elimination in cats. In Singapore, DOCTORBY products are exclusively available on Shopee.

Enjoy fast delivery via Shopee’s reliable fulfillment services, with most orders arriving within 2 to 3 days for a satisfying shopping experience. Shopee also hosts monthly promotional events, such as Double Day and Pay Day, offering a range of exciting deals. Moreover, a special Mega Day event is planned for November 11, promising additional benefits for shoppers.

LG Display Succeeds in Developing World’s First Stretchable Display that Expands by 50 Percent

SEOUL, South Korea , Nov. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today its unveiling of the world’s first Stretchable display capable of expanding up to 50%, the highest rate of elongation in the industry. At LG Science Park in Seoul on Nov. 8, the company demonstrated the panel at a meeting of more than 100 South Korean industry, academia, and research stakeholders involved in a Stretchable display national project.

Stretchable displays are seen as the ultimate free-form screen technology because they can be freely transformed into any shape, including by stretching, folding, and twisting.

The new prototype features a 12-inch screen that stretches up to 18 inches, while simultaneously delivering a high resolution of 100ppi (pixels per inch) and full red, green, and blue (RGB) color.

Compared to the first Stretchable display prototype unveiled in 2022, the new panel’s maximum elongation rate has more than doubled from 20% to 50%. This enhanced stretchability enables various display design possibilities, raising the technology’s potential competitiveness when commercialized.

By applying a number of new technologies, such as improving the properties of a special silicon material substrate used in contact lenses and developing a new wiring design structure, LG Display improved the panel’s stretchability and flexibility, exceeding the original national project’s target of 20% elongation.

In addition, by using a micro-LED light source of up to 40μm (micrometers), the new prototype’s strengthened durability means it can be repeatedly stretched over 10,000 times, maintaining clear image quality even in extreme environments such as exposure to low or high temperatures and external shocks.

Stretchable displays are not only thin and lightweight but also capable of adhering to irregularly curved surfaces like clothing and skin. They are expected to be widely applied in various industries, from fashion and wearables to mobility.

The company showcased numerous concepts for the application of Stretchable displays, including an automotive panel that stretches out into a convex shape and can be operated by hand as well as a wearable display attached to firefighters’ uniforms that provides real-time information.

LG Display was selected as the lead company for the national project to develop Stretchable displays in 2020 and since then has been conducting joint R&D with 19 domestic industry and research institutes. It is one of the major tasks of a wider project to develop core technologies for next-generation displays promoted by South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) along with the Korea Planning & Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology.

By successfully completing the project, LG Display has not only secured core technologies that can lead the next-generation display market but also contributed to localizing materials, components, and equipment as well as building an R&D infrastructure.

“We will continue to build a sustainable future display ecosystem through close cooperation between South Korean industry, academia, and research stakeholders,” said Soo-young Yoon, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Display.
