EnergyWise Partners (EWP) provides energy metering and online billing services that enable the creation of locally owned renewable energy utilities, disrupting the highly fragmented Heating Oil and Propane delivery markets. We focus on clean, renewable solar energy stored in the ground and concentrated into the home with a ground-source heat pump (GSHP). Called "geothermal" heating and cooling in the US, the up-front cost of installation keeps most homes and businesses bound to the high price of traditional fuels.
EWP overcomes the financial barrier by enabling a Utility model for Geothermal similar to Power Purchase Agreements for Solar. Private investors, property managers and consumer cooperatives can then invest in the superior returns of geothermal energy while bringing the many economic and environmental benefits to consumers and tenants. The consumer simply pays for the thermal energy brought into the home through a multi-year contract.

MCB Cleanroom Solutions, LLC, is developing a Micro Vibrational Energy Harvester (µVEH) that converts environmental vibrational energy into electrical power. The µVEH is a fingernail-sized microchip, the smallest of its class, and will provide enough energy to power a wireless sensor. This technology can be used to recharge or replace the batteries in wireless sensors, eliminating costly battery changes and disposal. The µVEH enables a host of other wireless sensor applications previously impractical because of their inaccessibility for battery changes. MCB won an award from the National Science Foundation to support the initial development of the µVEH. With the most recent award of a NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Agency) grant, MCB has specifically targeted HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) and building energy monitoring applications to provide savings in energy costs and greenhouse emissions. MCB is also working with Cornell University's Center for Materials Research (CCMR) on a materials development collaboration with support from New York State's JumpStart Program.
How would you like to own your own social network? QuoJax lets you do just that. QuoJax is a social network that provides users privacy, ownership and control when it comes to content creation, communicating, and sharing on the Internet. QuoJax uses a point system called Quo to give you control over how you interact with others and to earn prizes. Heavy users of the system earn votes, called Jax, which give them more influence over the future of QuoJax – recent votes have been on what features to add, what charity to give money to, and on whether to dilute the Jax of the founders (we voted to dilute). Come join us!
Venture Creations is an invaluable resource to QuoJax. The majority of the QuoJax team is associated with RIT. The support of Venture Creations and its staff has been invaluable to us. We have gotten great advice, access, and been able to use facilities we would not have been able to afford otherwise.
RNY Solar LLC
Efficiency Focused CPV
RNY Solar LLC was formed in 2009 to commercialize a novel concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system that converts sunlight into electrical power using proprietary spectral-splitting technology.
RNY Solar's CPV Module is expected to establish a new commercial record of 40 percent for "system efficiency" for solar-to-electricity conversion. The current "best in class" system efficiency is 28 percent.
RNY Solar has also recently won a NYSERDA grant to construct a novel solar-powered photobioreactor illumination system that is expected to increase the growth rate of algae 350%. Algae harvested from the photobioreactor is subsequently used as an economical feedstock for biofuel production.
