I'm interested in becoming a distributor here in The Bahamas but i have some question concerning Hurricane issues. Can your product stand up to 200MPH winds?


Steve Schappert envisioned a building industry that would be environmentally friendly but yet stimulate the economy; this is a huge step towards conquering his lifetime vision. Flagstar Bank / myself know the importance of trying to conserve our environment as we stand in the year 2008 for the future of our children and Flagstar Bank now offers Energy-Efficient Mortgage Program (EEM) through FHA/HUD in which clients can obtain financing for energy savings improvements and equipment. I am proud to be a part of the Bios Center and look forward to future projects with Steve Schappert/ Connecticut Real Estate and Construction as he continues his mission in creating an eco friendly building process and energy efficient homes.

Hello,

I would be very interested in knowing more about this venture, since our hospital is "going green", one of our VPs chairs the "green committee" of the Connecticut Hospital Association, and we have a very exciting sustainable food system initiative know as PLow to Plate.

Might you have time to meet for coffee soon?

Steve,

This new property sounds fantastic. We are always looking for something new for the State of Connecticut to promote.  I am curious as to when you are expected to open to the public. 

At this agency, we published the annual Connecticut Vacation Guide and maintain the website CTvisit.com and would like to get this venue on board with us.  All listings that we offer are COMPLIMENTARY!!! 

Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Steve Schappert,

An artist friend of mine in Germany send me the information about your project, which I read with much interest.

But I couldn’t find anything about concern or protection from electromagnetic or microwave radiation, which has become a major issue.

I’m an artist and have done over 300 exhibitions all over the world, but work also in the realm of quantum physics on the issues of radiation, since I’m highly sensitive to it, for the last 15 years. We provide a technology out of Germany, which is based on Photon energy, which takes care of these problems.

In the fall I’m giving several public talks through out Germany and will use that to make people aware of your project.

If you are interested to find out more about our work, I’ll be happy to provide you with some information.

With kind regards from  New Mexico

Subject: [Environmental Ballet] New comment on Creating an environmental ballet.

 

paula burns has left a new comment on your post "Creating an environmental ballet":

The concept is so exciting and particularly energizing for the downtown New Milford (Railroad Street, in particular, is in dire need of energizing). A project with this kind of vision should be encouraged and embraced by the downtown. We should be striving for healthier living and a more sustainable lifestyle.

This is a sexy project that has the potential to draw a segment of the market here that would currently have no interest in the offerings on Railroad Street.

An environmental ballet is a beautiful expression that transcends words - instead moving you in a more spiritual way.

Hi Steve,

 I am interested in knowing more about this type of building system.

I have been receiving emails from you now for about 4 or more years and I am liking what I see.

 We are a specialised buyer’s agent and project management firm based in Queensland Australia. The eco thing is only really very infant stages here too and I would like to be on the cutting edge of introducing this technology here.

 I am assuming that cost might be an issue for Australians due to the exchange rate and the distance covered to both get the product here and also to transport it around here. I am however, interested to know more and do some sums. The fact is that we have some much sunlight here all year round; I am surprised more has not been done with solar power.

 Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing form you.

Have a great day.

Good afternoon,

 

I would be interested in your product for the low/middle cost housing in South Africa.

 

I am a Mechanical Engineer presently working in the Middle East and based in South Africa.

 

I am involved on a part time basis, when I am home on leave, with a small property developer who builds high end housing.

 

The market for cost effective housing in South Africa is huge and I feel your product would do well.

 

The main question would be, could you produce smaller units with your manufacturing resources.

 

The size of units we would be looking at would be approx 80/100m2, 2/3 bedroom type housing.

 

If this is something you could do then please reply and we can discuss further.

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Jim Harron


This looks very interesting.
Please let me know how I might become involved.

Hi, Steve!

I am organizing a BIG Wellness Fair for the Saturday before Thanksgiving.  It would be a great promotion for the Bios Center to have a table, perhaps sponsor a lecture. 
Natural Awakenings Magazine is the media partner for the event, so great promotional opportunities are availabe.  See info below --

Paula Caracappa


Dear Steve Schappert,

 

Thank you for this information which seems very interesting indeed.  I have had a look at the web site  and it is an exciting project,.

 

As you have found me through my web site, www.lornagreen.com,  I wonder how I can be involved as all my work is commissioned both temporary and permanent and I do not sell my work.  I would be very happy to prepare something for you - I work, as you have seen, on a very large scale but would have to be  commissioned for this. Maybe you have visiting artists on a residency basis who make site specific work for this or outdoor events with site specific environmental work?  Please could you let me have further information.

 

I look forward to hearing from you again,

Thanks, Lorna Green.


Steve,

How does one participate. PLease go to my web site. 

thanks  Betsy


I have gotten several of your marketing emails.  The Bios center sounds terrific, but I have no idea what you want from me.  I make sculptural systems that provide various kinds of water treatment.  Are you interested in commissioning such a project for your center. 
Good luck with your endeavor,
jackie brookner

 

Dear Steve,
Thank you for getting back to me.  I'll attach a short bio for you.  If you have any potential sponsorship, I would highly recommend you incorporate artists into the construction process of the building, even the visioning of it, as early as possible.  A major understanding that has evolved over the last decade in public art, can be summed up as,"Art from the start."  This means including artists from teh bery beginning, not as add ons after.  In work such as my own, which collects and filters stormwater runoff from the roof, for example, or offers possibilities for recycling greywater, etc.  these things need to be incorporated into the buliding vision and plans.  Other artists work with energy that similarly shoudl be included up front.  For a project with such innovative aspirations, such inclusion would seem natural and important.
Best,
Jackie Brookner

When you are ready for an artwork that will bring attention to the Bios Museum, you might consider my Earth Ambulance. I have created 8 on different occasions.  The latest one was acquired by the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill; The interior of the Earth Ambulance had been used as a meditation room for four years while on exhibit.

I am very much in favor of what you are doing.  I am an American environmental artist now living in Taiwan where I do a yearly sculpture festival with international artists making site specific pieces about enviornmental issues in a Taipei nature park.  I also do projects all over the world with my own environmental artwork using handmade paper created from sustainable local plant materials.  You can see more about my work on the website at www.greenmuseum.org

 Please keep me posted on your progress and especially when you need some artists to exhibit there or to make site specific works.  

Thank you and best wishes,

   I would be interested to learn more about this project and how it might be possible to become involved.  If you have any additional information to provide and/or would like information about my background, please reply to this email at your convenience.

Subject: CAREER OPPORTUNITY

 Hi Steve -   I would definitely be interested in talking with you about this new project.   I am very environmentally conscious and have pondered the thought of how to branch out into the "green" home/building industry.   Its so interesting to receive this email from you today!  

 Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you,

 Judy


Dear Steve,

 

Congratulations, what exciting news.

 

I’m not sure if you remember me as we spoke almost a year ago as I embarked on my endeavor to return “home” to CT from Eugene, OR.  This BIOS center is something that would be more of a norm in Oregon, and I’m thrilled to see it happening here.  I did make it here – for what that’s worth – I’m in Newtown for now.  I have plans of moving up to New Milford in the near future as I am planning to remarry and my fiancé lives just seconds from your BIOS center location, off of Aspetuck.  He is a remodeling contractor, so I will share your news with him as well.

 

Please let me know if you happen to have any job openings that I may be suited for.  I am currently employed in Wilton at a large marketing agency as a Senior Copywriter.  I also have over 15 years of Operations Management, Office Management and Personnel Management experience.  I also have knowledge of both retail and construction/remodeling management.  Both commuting to Wilton every day and writing copy for chemical-pumping corporate giants are the downside of my relocation.  To start out, it’s what I needed to do to survive and support my son.  Ideally, I’d rather prosper with conscious employment.  For it to be in New Milford – even more ideal.

 

Thanks for your consideration – please let me know if you know of any positions that I may apply for.

 

Warm Regards,

Caren Dixon

Nice article!  I will forward to interested persons.  This is going to be simply amazing! 


This looks  really interesting!!! Though, I am not sure while following the links, when construction is scheduled for completion. And if the spaces will be for sale or lease? What sort of investments, so on....
  My own dream has been one of creating a center that offers a few alternative wellness modalities in one place that is convenient for people  from a few different communities.

Please keep me informed. I have sent this on..

Thank You.

Hi Steve,
 
Congratulations on pulling all this together and getting this project started!!  I think it is very much needed.
 
We would install solar and/or wind energy technologies here (we have a very good site for both, I think) if the installation cost could be brought down so that pay back occurred quickly enough for us to gain benefit from it.  When it takes many years to break even, we wonder if we will live long enough for that to happen.
 
Again Bravo for your accomplishment and thank you for including me on your email list.
 
Sincerely,

Dear Steve Schappert, 

 I am thrilled about this project.  Please let me know how I can get involved in the art gallery, because I am a Performance Artist fusing dance with visual art and sound.  Some of my videos can stand alone, and they contain beautiful, moving images of our natural world. 

Furthermore, I am beginning a local initiative recycling project to promote the use of reusable shopping bags, so maybe the store would like to sell these durable, handcrafted items made locally.  I have some suggestions for other items as well.

 Thank you for your dedication to the future of our world.

 Sincerely,

Hello Steve,

 

I received your email the other day.  I can say I'm very excited about your project on Railroad Street.  When it's complete it will be the jewel of the village.  I'm sure you'll be able to get a lot of national press from the project as well which should increase interest in your other ventures.  

 

My wife and I built a house 5 years ago and I wish I gave energy efficiency a more serious look due to the recent rise in energy costs.  Though our house is complete, I haven't totally given in.  I've been researching small hydroelectric systems for a large dam on our property. 

 

Getting back to you email, I belong to the original "Green Industry".  I have degrees in Horticulture and Landscape Architecture and have owned a landscape design and installation business my whole life.  We design and plant living, breathing environments which reduce energy costs just as your buildings can.  I've attached our winter 2006 newsletter.  The main article on page 2 is about how landscaping can help reduce energy costs.  You might find it of interest. 

 

If you ever need help with guiding your landscapes towards being more environmentally friendly through natives, eliminating or reducing lawn areas or proper plant and plant positioning for maximizing energy conservation, let me know.

Hi Steve,

I received your e-mail about the Bios Center.  I'm not sure if you sent it to me to see if I'd like to be a part of the establishment or how to become involved.  What does that entail?  

Talk to you soon,

Bonnie 


Steve - very interesting project. I will be curious on the technology used for heating and cooling, as well as comparative costs with the traditional methods. At the price for energy today, I will be foolish not to consider incorporating new technologies into a new home (once I find the land that works for me, and then calling you about designing panelized construction). Good luck.

Congrats on your progress.  It is refreshing to see some good news coming from our industry!
