What's worse than a major home maintenance disaster? Try several major home maintenance disasters at once. When a house's water pipes freeze, the situation is not as simple as calling a plumber. A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can spew up to 250 gallons of water a day, causing flooding, serious structural damage, and the immediate potential for mold. Frozen water pipes are a problem in both cold and warmer climates, affecting a quarter-million families each winter, and it can happen in homes with both plastic and copper pipes. It's all too common, especially considering this damage is largely preventable. In addition to taking the usual preventive precautions, here are a few steps you can take to keep your pipes from turning frigid nights into inconvenient, and expensive ordeals. Before winter arrives The three central causes of frozen pipes are quick drops in temperature, poor insulation, and thermostats set too low. You can prepare your home during the warmer months....

In recent years, marrying design with technology has become a common practice among architects and interior designers as they design work spaces for companies across numerous industries.  So it should come as no surprise that when some of the top names in the design industry were tapped to create work spaces for a handful of corporations in the technology sector in New York City, they would look to technology for inspiration. From live-streaming monitors that nod to one company’s television roots to a major  dot.com  with a mission to achieve zero-waste status by tracking its progress via open-sourced technology, businesses today are realizing the benefits that come when you blend design with technology. Here are five tech workplaces in NYC leading the charge.

By   Phil Hall  - December 8, 2017 I n 1994, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) introduced the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification process for real estate. At the time, the notion of green buildings was relatively new and there was a vibe within the commercial property industry that LEED, as the energy conservation and sustainability program is called, would have a significant impact on design and construction. “I worked on some of the first buildings seeking LEED in Manhattan about 20 years ago,” recalled Leon Levine, principal consultant with ECOThink Group in Greenwich. “There was a lot of excitement at the time.” Today, however, Levine said, that excitement over LEED has abated, especially in this regional market. “Certification is not as popular as it used to be,” he said. Only 12 commercial properties in Connecticut received LEED certification this year. The peak year for Connecticut certifications was 2013, when 48 commerci...

Investments in “green” or environment-friendly buildings could reach a cumulative amount of $3.4 trillion by 2025, a study by the International Finance Corp. (IFC) showed. In a statement, the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, said that figure would be attained “if countries adopt better building codes and standards, and create targeted financial incentives such as green-building certification and mandatory benchmarking of energy use.” Other important reforms should encourage new utility business models, including green mortgages and energy-service companies, it added. “Green buildings can achieve as high as 20 percent to 25 percent of the Philippine market by 2025, with a combination of policy support, tax benefits, educational and awareness programs, and realized savings from energy efficiency,” the IFC said. In 2010, buildings accounted for 36 percent of the country’s total annual power consumption, and emitted 33.28 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. In sev...

That’s why you need to make sure to get an HVAC check-up  before  it’s time to heat up! Your HVAC System Most people know that AC stands for “air conditioning!" However, “heating” is another part of your HVAC system, and it’s the one that we often ignore. Your HVAC comes with a heating pump to keep you warm in the winter. Just like the summer puts a high demand on your AC, the winter puts added stress on your heat pump. It’s essential that you get every part of your heating system checked out before winter hits.
