Building Smarter: Integrating Solar Backup Batteries in Modern Homes
Recently, my wife and I spent about two months down in Little Rock,
Arkansas for medical reasons. We rented an Airbnb property, a four
bedroom house with two baths. It’s more than we need, but considering
our daughter and son-in-law were going to bring our granddaughters down
for visits during school breaks… it was really just right.

Lighting the Way to Better Health Outcomes
Keeping hospital balance sheets profitable is a challenging proposition
for healthcare organizations. That’s certainly one reason why so many
have undertaken lighting upgrades over the last decade to move to more
efficient LED lamps and fixtures.

Building Resilience from the Foundation, Up, with ICF Construction
Exterior residential wall construction is receiving more attention these
days, especially in areas now prone to dangerous weather conditions.
Traditional wood-frame approaches can have difficulty withstanding
extreme winds, flooding, and wildfires, and both building departments
and home insurers are taking notice.

Sensing Opportunities: Pros and Cons of PIR and Microwave Approaches
Lighting the great outdoors requires a bit more thought now than it did a
couple decades ago. The goal used to be simply packing as many lumens
as possible into a landscape fixture. That was the entire point.
Photocell sensors might have been used to ensure lights didn’t stay on
during daylight hours, but keeping outdoor space fully illuminated –
even when no humans were around – was seen as a key safety measure.

This Ain’t Your Great Aunt Betty’s Room Radiator!
Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty's two-story farmhouse was a haven for my
brother and me during our childhood. While it didn't boast modern
amenities, the old-fashioned radiators under each window ensured a cozy
warmth throughout the house. These radiators were a blessing during cold
winters, providing a spot to dry our snow-soaked gloves.

When All You Have is a Hammer…
Yeah, I’m sure you know the saying — “When all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail.” And I’d imagine you probably chuckled,
just a little anyway. A friend of mine gave his small boy a hammer for
his birthday. And the kid beat on everything, all day long, when Tommy
was at work… including the gas meter in the yard.
