Construction Firms often use photos to showcase their work. It’s a visual testimonial to the expertise and capabilities of the contractor and their team. It’s also a great way to capture before and after transformations, but there are many uses for photographs in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industries. Since a picture’s worth a 1000 words, when it comes to construction technology, best practices reach far beyond marketing.

Isn’t it kind of weird that labor is spelled labour in the United Kingdom? I guess this is true for a few other words like organization (organisation) and catalog (catalogue). But I think it is safe to say that I don’t really care at all which way they are spelled (spelt in the UK) – I get the point either way. But regardless of the spelling, labor (labour) unions in the construction industry are like the pink elephant in the room that nobody dares to speak of.

In last week's post, I stated that the Army was abandoning LEED certification in lieu of a green building code based on ASHRAE 189.1. But it is now clear to me that I misinterpreted the testimony of Dr. Dorothy Robyn, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense.

Stopping the heat from entering a home through passive solar cooling is not the same as using solar energy to power an air conditioning system. Passive cooling or “natural cooling” is used as an alternative to regular home cooling systems and to reduce energy usage of central air conditioning systems in areas where cooling is required. The idea is to stop the summer heat before it enters your home.
