Through bold energy-saving initiatives and significant investment in environmentally friendly infrastructure improvements, the first phase of "Aero-Zone Goes Green" will drastically reduce the company’s carbon footprint; by over 40 tons in its first year. "The cornerstone of the ’Aero-Zone Goes Green’ campaign is an 83,000 kilowatt-hour solar electric system valued at almost half a million dollars." said Alfredo Dreyfus, Jr., President of Aero-Zone. "I recently had a solar system installed at my home, and was so thrilled with the results that I immediately began discussions to install a larger system here at our headquarters. Let’s face it, in a state with three hundred days of sunshine each year, solar is a logical choice!" Dreyfus added. The solar generation system - installed by
American Solar Electric - consists of 234 state-of-the-art Kyocera photovoltaic modules, capable of meeting all Aero-Zone’s energy needs during all but the hottest months of summer.

In addition to the solar system, improvements to the company’s Mesa, Arizona headquarters have significantly reduced energy demands. Over the past twelve months, the company has replaced two air conditioning and climate control units with systems that are exponentially more efficient. The physical structure of Aero-Zone’s headquarters has also been upgraded, through the installation of low-E glass, sun screens, and a more energy-efficient thermal roof coating to combat the harsh heat of an Arizona summer. In the same period, every computer and several of the company’s high-speed servers have been replaced with newer, more efficient units that use less power. Dozens of monitors have been replaced with EnergyStar rated LCD monitors. In addition, Aero-Zone has installed hardware and software solutions to reduce overall power consumption by ensuring only essential systems remain online after hours and on weekends.
As the year progresses, Aero-Zone intends to announce further details of "Aero-Zone Goes Green", and of the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.
