Mind the Gap: Air-Sealing Options for Exterior Wall Outlets
Residential energy use today accounts for about 20% of U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions – though this figure varies widely by region and income
level. Certainly, getting more of our energy from renewable resources
can help reduce those emissions, but we also need to limit overall
energy demand in order to meet the emissions cuts necessary to blunt
climate change’s worst effects.

There’s no getting around it. A lot of people spent a lot more time in
their homes the past few years. And while some of it was by choice, not
all of it was.

Less Work to Meet Safety Requirements
Some facilities are changing their requirements for motor and appliance
installations. This could be due to OSHA Lock-out and Tag-out
requirements or NFPA 70E. The change is toward using pin and sleeve
devices instead of having a hard-wired installation.
Safety requirements often have the maintenance person checking for the
absence of voltage before touching. The rules are quite specific and are
enforced by OSHA.
