Paint and Drywall Moisture Failures Due to Improper Caulking - Prevention, and Solutions: https://j.mp/3m8xOMC Green Builder Matt Hoots of Sawhorse, Inc. explains what not to do when it comes to exterior paint and caulking. He also reviews solutions for the two problematic examples he shares, and some green building products and practices can help prevent moisture problems. These are situations, and expenses, we'd all rather avoid. This story is part of our Prevention and Solution Series, which started as a playful Halloween season ask for "Scary Building Stories." These examples show real situations we can learn from, and real risks and consequences we can all work to prevent. It’s never too late, or too early, to share what’s on your mind as a part of "building community within the building community." #caulk #caulking #paint #painting #exteriorpanting #building #buildings #construction #maintenance #homebuilding #homes #drywall #moisture #mildew #mold #repairs #materials #greenbuilding #health #healthybuilding

Solar Panels - Making Efficient Choices: https://j.mp/3706nNm An introduction to calculating efficiency, how many #solarpanels you need, and costs. The demand for solar panels has been growing exponentially, particularly in the last decade, with rapidly declining costs and environmental awareness driving this popularity. To determine whether solar energy is a wise investment, it is necessary to take into consideration the architectural structure of each specific building and the amount of energy needed to run the building. #solar #solarenergy #energy #renewableenergy #greenbuilding #building #buildings #construction #cleanenergy #greenhomes #business

Future Proofing Homes: Getting it Right from the Start: https://buff.ly/3Ox09dE Key strategies for planning and building now to prevent expensive repairs and damage later. Fixing problems later often costs a lot more than building right the first time, and sometimes a repair or retrofit is just impractical or not even possible. Future Proofing buildings involves planning and building to account for the scenarios one might reasonably predict as occupants live and evolve throughout their time living in a structure. And the time to start planning is right at the beginning, when the project is first envisioned. #homes #building #buildings #construction #homebuilding #health #comfort #energyefficiency #architecture #design #engineering #vaporbarriers #airsealing #radon #controllayers #electrification #decarbonization #greenbuilding
