Dog Days Of Summer... An office that's air-conditioned and blissfully cool is truly one of life's "creature comforts," especially in the humid, sticky days that lie ahead. So finding out your AC unit isn't working properly can leave you — quite literally — hot under the collar! What to do? Here are some common reasons an AC unit might be wasting energy, working ineffectively, or not working at all: Faulty ducts that leak air: Duct work has been identified at the #1 waste of energy in homes. Because there is no building code for duct work, shoddy workmanship can easily go undetected. Leaking duct work causes two problems: One, it wastes valuable cooled air. Two, it brings unwanted contaminants into your home — moisture, mold, odors and allergens.   Dirty coils: Air conditioners don't work by adding coolness to air, but rather by sucking heat out of it. The AC electro-mechanically and chemically (with a refrigerant) absorbs heat from

Your green roof is an incredible engineering feat that provides insulation and stormwater management, but could its lush greenery be putting you at risk for an invasion of pests? Vegetated roofs are often touted as a way to encourage biodiversity, but that isn’t limited to the plant selection. Whether your roof has low grass, flowers, shrubs, or food gardens, insects and animals will inevitably be attracted to the foliage. NYC 2020? Integrated pest management can help you stay ahead of pest activity and ensure any infestations are treated in an environmentally sensitive manner. Follow these tips to ensure your roof will thrive without becoming overrun with wildlife. 1) Understand Which Pests Frequent Vegetated Roofs : Animals need three things to survive – food, water , and shelter – so it’s no surprise that a manicured green roof can provide these in abundance. “Green roofs are living architecture,” explains Pat Copps, a board certified entomologist and technic

OLED vs. LED Both technologies are classified as solid-state lighting, a type of lighting system that relies on semiconductors that convert electricity into light rather than filaments or gases encased in glass bulbs. However, the similarities end there. Differences in the materials and manufacturing processes used to make the two light sources lead to differing characteristics in the finished products. “One of the main distinguishing characteristics of an LED is that it’s a point source, which makes it a good choice for directional applications. However, if you were to look directly at the diodes, they’re extremely bright – maybe up to 1 million candelas per square meter,” explains Jeannine Wang, director of business development for Acuity Brands’ OLED Business Group. “In order to be able to use the light in a useful fashion, glare control is a big consideration. You need optics to control the light from an LED source.” LED Lighting  OLEDs, on the other hand, are

Circular Buildings The choice is yours. And if you wish, there are many more building qualifications worthwhile to strive for. We got used to ‘energy-efficient’, ‘green’ and ‘sustainable’ buildings over the past years, but ‘circular’ is the new buzz word also getting political attention, while ‘resource-efficiency’ comes in from the European Commission . Whatever the name, buildings have a huge potential to contribute positive to solve New York, New Jersey and Connecticut challenges of today. The bunch of – all valuable – sustainability qualifications shows that the only meaningful way to handle this is to take an integrated (‘holistic’) approach. Buildings contribute to the major environmental problems of our time, but the same buildings also offer the solution.   Safe and sustainable buildings: the future is now We can already make our buildings more sustainable today. By energy efficient renovation, by building resilience and fire safety into the building envelope,
