One Stop Green releases a mobile app tutorial for it?s iPhone and iPod touch mobile application (http://fwd4.me/0663). The purpose of the tutorial is to demonstrate the functionalities of the mobile app and show users how easy it is to conduct home energy audits from their mobile phone. Host Robert Colangelo of the syndicated radio show ?Green $ ense? also conducted an interview with One Stop Green?s Founder and CEO ? Sohail Hassan about the app and its many uses and will be available on pod cast.

Before investing any resources towards going green, it is essential to conduct an energy audit in order to identify the problem areas of your home. With One Stop Green?s mobile app, an audit costing up to $ 200 can be conducted by the homeowner themselves directly from their mobile phone! The main functionality of the mobile app is the ?Conduct an Energy Audit? section that walks the user through a real energy audit and provides them with helpful tips and answers to frequently asked questions.

The result of the audit is the green score; the higher the score, the more green or energy efficient your home is. The leaves next to each category correspond to how green each section of your home is and is based off the answers you provide in the previous sections of the audit. This information can be shared with others via Facebook, Twitter, and email and there is also a link to eco-friendly shopping to provide you with immediate solutions to help improve your score.

Another feature of the app is My Green Tool Box. The toolbox uses the user?s location to determine the amount of sunny days, inches of rainfall, and available wind speed in your area to estimate the potential savings from implementing these solutions. This information helps determine the best way to improve the efficiency of the property and will even suggest potential system sizes.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

The H and Sanitizer Manufacturing industry expanded over the past five years, with revenue increasing at an average annual rate of 5.6% to $ 189.6 million in 2012. An increased health conscious population has driven sales higher over the period, particularly during 2009 as the H1N1 flu pandemic resulted in a sharp sales gain. This sales rise was short lived, however, as the pandemic waned and consumers? concerns eased. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Justin Molavi, ?Firms have concentrated on marketing their products in an attempt to differentiate themselves from the competition? ? manufacturers have used different bottles, display packaging and scents to drive sales. These actions have helped support sales and are expected to continue doing so over 2012, as more consumers purchase the industry?s product amid improved disposable incomes.

Heightened interest in hand sanitizers have paved the way for increased competition among players in the Hand Sanitizer Manufacturing industry. Firms that leveraged distribution relationships often outperform their peers since these players are able to distribute their products across the country with low up-front investment. Also, many of the industry?s input prices are correlated to the price of oil, and as the price of oil rose sharply up to and after the recession, this price increase made it difficult to pass along the cost to consumers, says Molavi. Industry players that locked in prices were better able to pad margins and compete for market share. Due to the lower level of market share concentration, there is not a high degree of price competition between domestically produced brands, with some firms having greater market power in specific markets, such as in hospitals and healthcare facilities.

The next five years will bring slower revenue growth for the industry. A flu pandemic is not something that can be forecast and, in general, is not expected over the period, limiting the industry?s growth potential. The market for hand sanitizers will continue to saturate, offering finite room for industry growth. This, in turn, will push players to ramp up marketing expenses to reach customers. Nonetheless, continued consumer interest in staying healthy will continue to push revenue higher. Heightened interest in nonalcohol-based hand sanitizers is also expected to drive sales growth over the next five years, as will improving disposable incomes.
