  1. Extreme Makeover Home Edition seems to be using the ZipSystem sheathing on all their recent homes.
  2. Custom painting and kitchens today in the Passive Project. These things will be wrapping up in no time.
  3. Near Nashville, builders going green pitch family and community over environment, utility bills or fossil fuel independance. Interesting.
  4. Rocky Mountain Institute is now offering a free energy performance calculator for buildings http://bit.ly/2rlU7O (via @raeditor)
  5. Somehow an air sealing lecture at the Raquet Club has turned into drinks & fish tacos with 1/2 of @DIGSAU.
  6. IKEA won't increase our credit limit past $500 even though we buy thousands per year in kitchens and baths. I love this economy!
  7. Tile is heavy. So is mastic and grout.
  8. @MournieGal Not sure what you're referring to, but if you're talking about the blog, it's best to comment there.
  9. If we want to get the Fed $2000 builder tax credit (without getting Energy Star) we have to pay $1,100 in consulting fees to prove it. Nice.
  10. Gaskets, air sealing and tape. Oh my! - http://bit.ly/3TrqiT
  11. New post on air sealing lessons learned from the Passive Project - http://bit.ly/2cYwJp
  12. Good meeting with GRASS about the possibility of green roofs + solar PV + solar thermal - http://bit.ly/16maYS
  13. IKEA's kitchen boxes are now virtually Formaldahye Free. Hard to do better for affordable, modern & sustainable cabinets.

  15. New pics of painted Passive Project "Kensington Tiger Facade" by @isaphila. http://www.flickr.com/photo...

  17. @Kaleo We have an open house from 5-8 PM tonight.
  18. Passive Project painting has begun! http://yfrog.com/0io20ij
  19. Standing ovation ends the Passive House conference. I smell a "Tipping Point."
  20. Bad news for old brick rowhome rehabs. Insulation must go on outside of brick, not inside. Brick will deteriate with insulation on inside.
