Best Green and Sustainable Real Estate Experts

I am Adeniyi Adeniji, founder of Plug Solar Hub, the UK's independent guide to plug-in and balcony solar for renters, leaseholders, and homeowners who cannot or do not want to install rooftop systems. I started the site because the British solar conversation has been stuck on owner-occupied semis with south-facing roofs for a decade, while eight million UK households who rent or live in flats have been left out. Plug-in solar changes that, and the policy framework finally caught up with the launch of the new BSI plug-in solar standard, due July 2026. I write and build practical tools, not opinion pieces. The flagship resource on Plug Solar Hub is a postcode-aware UK solar calculator I designed and built myself, which combines postcodes.io address validation with live PVGIS satellite irradiance from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. It gives any UK address a realistic view of generation, savings, payback, and battery economics under current and forecast smart tariffs. I run it on real data, in British English, and I refuse to publish numbers I cannot evidence. I can speak credibly to journalists on UK plug-in and balcony solar policy, the incoming BSI standard and what it changes for renters, the comparison with Germany's Steckersolar rollout, energy security and the cost-of-living lens on home generation, plug-in solar with battery storage, smart tariff stacking, and the practical reality of going solar on a balcony, in a flat, or as a tenant. I am UK-based, available for comment by email, and happy to provide named case studies, photography, and original calculator-based data for stories on request. I respond within one working day.

I'm Natalya Bondole, Founder & CEO of LOOMLAN, published author, and entrepreneur who has built a premium furniture brand at the intersection of conscious design, American craftsmanship, and accessible luxury. My book, "The Triangle of Prosperity: Entrepreneurs' Blueprint to Success" (available at Barnes & Noble), distills the frameworks behind the world's most iconic business builders — from Elon Musk's vision to Jeff Bezos's execution — into a practical roadmap for entrepreneurs ready to build not just a profitable business, but a lasting legacy. It is the same philosophy I have applied to building LOOMLAN from the ground up. LOOMLAN's foundation is interior design, conscious consumerism, and American manufacturing. LOOMLAN carries 50+ premium brands, ships 90% of inventory from US soil, and runs an industry-leading trade program that interior designers, hospitality buyers, and design-forward homeowners rely on nationwide. I've been featured on Fox Business, ABC15, Atlanta Post News, DC Chronicle News, Seattle Independent News, and The Los Angeles Tribune — covering the American-made furniture movement, minimalist design philosophy, eco-friendly manufacturing, and the future of home furnishings. I speak from the front lines of the furniture industry and the entrepreneurial trenches — not from a think tank. I can give your readers a grounded, specific, and quotable perspective on: why American-made furniture is having a moment, how interior designers are navigating quality vs. cost in 2026, what conscious design actually looks like in practice, the three pillars every entrepreneur needs to scale a product-based business, and how small brands are outcompeting big-box retailers on craftsmanship and service. If you're writing about home design, sustainable living, entrepreneurship, retail innovation, or the future of the furniture industry — I'm the source who has lived it, built it, written the book on it, and can make your story better.
