Jim Majirsky wants to save you some green. As the President and CEO of business and home services franchise DwellGreen he just might be able to.

In 2005 John Lamby, who Jim refers to as “an environmental guru” started the process of creating what DwellGreen is today: a resource, a business and a fine-tuned approach for helping homeowners make decisions about the performance of their homes. This covers everything from energy efficiency to retrofitting to identifying government rebates homeowners are able to qualify for.

Majirsky joined DwellGreen a little over a year ago. It took the better part of 2011 for Jim to take DwellGreen, which had become quite a successful business in Florida, and translate it into a growing, national franchise. Now, the company has four franchising territories and plans to begin franchising in Canada within two years. After 17 years of executive franchising experience, Jim is happy to be involved in a company that he really cares about. He loves being around environmental initiatives and believes strongly in their importance. “It is the future,” Majirsky says, “It’s not just greening, its learning what that means.”

DwellGreen, as a business, seeks to do three things: to advise, to consult, and to educate its customers.  The business works a little something like this: homeowners call DwellGreen about making their home a bit greener (in one way or another). A representative from DwellGreen drives (in a Prius, of course) to see the client’s home. The DwellGreen representative assesses the home and advises the homeowner on improvements that should be made. From there, the DwellGreen representative facilitates the greening process. Some homeowners will jump into greening feet first, others will pick specific projects until the entire home is, well, green.

“There’s a cost savings to this that’s good for everyone,” explains Majirsky. “It helps the environment, helps with health issues, and it does have large implications like reducing carbon footprint,” he elaborates. “It improves the quality of our air and our water.”

Of course, it takes someone who’s passionate about the environment and making a difference at the micro and macro levels to be successful as a DwellGreen franchisee. In addition, it takes a skilled communicator with experience in business development, sales, and marketing to pursue potential customers. Environmental and building sciences backgrounds are pluses, too. In fact, a number of current DwellGreen franchisees have environmental science or construction backgrounds.

After the initial interest inquiry is made, the next step, according to Jim, is to familiarize potential franchisees with the business model. From there, serious franchisees receive a full week of training and certification (which includes RESNET and EPI training) as energy auditors, remediation programs for radon, mold, lead, and air quality. “If we’re about anything we’re about servicing our franchisees and supporting them,” says Jim. The DwellGreen business model also includes a full marketing program and support system, so franchisees can focus on bringing in customers and maintaining positive client relationships.

He attributes this to the e-Monitor helping him figure out where he was having his biggest problems with electric use and then doing several key projects. He put a pet door in one of his sliders and significantly reduced his AC consumption because of it. He also installed spray foam insulation in the attic. He then had a variable speed pool pump installed. Next he had his garage door strengthened for storm fortification. The pet door, foam, and pool pump along with some personal habit changes inspired by the e-Monitor account for the lower electric bill. By using closed cell foam and re-enforcing the garage door, he also took his home owners insurance premium from $4200 to $2900, a $1300 annual savings. His use of DwellGreen has created a total annual savings in energy and insurance of approximately $4900.

This gives him a projects ROI of less than 3 years.

Founded in 2009, DwellGreen perfected their Building Performance Evaluation business model and evolved it into the viable and economically compelling franchise opportunity now being offered nationwide. As DwellGreen’s first franchisee, Mr. Drelich’s interest in the opportunity began over 6 months ago when he first inquired about working with the company. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies from Ramapo College of New Jersey, is a USGBC member and is completing his LEED certification. He begins with attending a 5 day initial training program at the DwellGreen Learning Center at company headquarters in Sarasota, FL to learn all of the day to day operational aspects of running a DwellGreen business.

Jim Majirsky, president of DwellGreen Franchising, said “Offering a business opportunity in such a desirable industry with our unique niche is very compelling and at current interest levels we project signing at least one new franchise a month through the next year. We are eager to start working with our first franchisees – It’s a truly rewarding and exciting time for DwellGreen.”

DwellGreen’s business platform was developed by a team of building and environmental science experts working with a management group of operations, marketing, sales, finance, IT and franchising professionals. During the 2 1/2 years spent developing, perfecting, and testing the services and operational programs a track record of success was fine-tuned with the local franchise model, leading to the roll-out of the national franchise opportunity today. DwellGreen expects that the same business accolades achieved with building owners, service providers, vendors, community representatives, environmental and green building organizations and local media are replicable and modeled for successful translation into any market in the United States.

The DwellGreen concept is the brainchild of John Lambie, an expert with over 35 years of experience in the fields of green buildings, solar energy, and sustainable community development. John’s accomplishments and awards are numerous and include earning the Florida Green Building Coalition’s award for developing the highest performing green building in the year 2008 as well as being appointed the Executive Director of the Florida House Institute For Sustainable Development, and was one of the founders of Sarasota’s Florida House project. Florida House was the very first totally sustainable housing initiative in the entire country. John is also a former adjunct professor in Environmental Studies at New College in Sarasota, Fl and a LEED Accredited Professional.

Mr. Lambie said that, “I view sustainable development as a process of continuous improvement. Under that paradigm of continuous improvement, our homes and communities can thrive and help restore healthy local watersheds and ecologies. It builds markets for products and services that strengthen local economies, increasing reliance on renewable resources, while improving efficiency, well-being, and quality of life. You can have a future that you like, by design or default. By design is better. It’s your future and your choice.”

Mr. Lambie developed the DwellGreen concept with business development professional Mat Horne. Both have also assisted 16 year franchise executive and company President Jim Majirsky in bringing DwellGreen to the franchise stage – Mr. Lambie as the building and environmental science advisor and trainer and Mr. Horne as Vice President of Franchising. “No other company in the energy or environmental field has a program as complete and unique as the DwellGreen Evaluation Process. We have carved a niche in the industry that is unmatched and our customers love it,” said Mr. Majirsky.

DwellGreen boasts a sophisticated, highly defined business opportunity with their unique Building Evaluation software process at its core. The process digs deep into how a building performs with regards to energy usage and savings, building science and environmental concerns, and green building initiatives with emphasis on the property owner’s personal goals. The evaluation reviews and analyses 100’s of performance points and creates a report that addresses all of the findings. Those findings are followed by a series of recommendations and provide an opportunity for the owner to connect with vetted service providers to obtain estimates and schedule retrofit projects right from the convenience of their home or office through their own computer. A scoring system also assists the owner with understanding how their building is performing and measures that performance against actual customer statistics with a zero energy building as the ultimate goal.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the people at DwellGreen for their assistance over the past few months as we have worked to retrofit our “new-to-us” home.

After purchasing a 13 year old home in December, 2010, we quickly contacted DwellGreen to have an eMoniter installed.  Little did we realize what a valuable resource this organization would be to us during our renovations.

We wanted to make the most energy efficient decisions possible while updating our home.  The convenience of being able to pick up the phone and ask specific questions and receive immediate guidance saved us countless hours of headaches and research.

Matthew Franck was our contact, and he guided us through the process of making the most energy-wise appliance purchases for our home as well as suggestions regarding windows, doors, insulation, air conditioners and water heaters.  No question was ever too big, too small or too silly for Matthew not to respond to immediately with valuable assistance.

In one instance we were questioning a manufacturer about a particular appliance that we had purchased as we were wondering if it was working properly.  It  became very obvious that the manufacturer would not have listened to our story nor made any effort to resolve the situation, UNTIL  they learned about our participation in the DwellGreen program.  When we explained this program and the information that we had at our fingertips due to our eMoniter,  GE was quick to resolve the matter.  Without DwellGreen, and Matthew Franck, we are convinced that this situation would not have had a happy ending.

It has been exciting for us to have had the opportunity to participate in this program.  I wonder if locals realize that this is the largest program of this type in the country.   We feel very fortunate to be in a community that made this program available in Sarasota and we appreciate those that made it a reality.

Many thanks to all involved!
