Tradition and Technology for Health and Sustainability. Juno brings Incandescent Warmth to LEDs. December 10, 2012 in Uncategorized. This year, the annual Greenbuild Expo. This is quite different from traditional incandescent lights that become more red and orange as they dim making for a “warmer” mood in a dimmed space. I tried it out at the Expo and it looked pretty darned good. I won’t get a chance to try one out in a project home until later in 2013, but I’ll keep you posted! We created eco historica...

Tradition and Technology for Health and Sustainability. 1566 Lucked into an Upswing. August 26, 2012 in Uncategorized. While they say that you can’t time markets (and they’re right), we accidentally stumbled into the right timing for this one. Although we’d planned to have 1566 Sanchez. Ready for sale by December 2011, various niggling details held us up until March 2012…right as San Francisco real estate went into a frenzy. 4 days after the first showing, it was sold. Just up the street. 1566 Sanchez Ce...

Tradition and Technology for Health and Sustainability. The Challenge of LEDs. March 8, 2012 in Uncategorized. You hear about them all the time now. LED lights. Energy efficient. Cool burning. 10X lifetime of an incandescent light. 1/10th the energy of an incandescent light. Pricey…but prices are coming down and the shelves of every Lowes, Home Depot and Ace Hardware store are stacked full of LED options now. And as small as EarthLED. Even worse, most lighting manufacturers haven’t done comprehensi...

Tradition and Technology for Health and Sustainability. The LED Holy Grail is Almost Here! September 22, 2013 in Uncategorized. There’s no doubt about it. LED’s have gone mainstream. LED light bulbs and they now come in every shape and size and in a variety of color temperatures to meet your needs (from a warm white 2700 degrees Kelvin to a daylight 5000K). Most can also now be dimmed, although not quite as smoothly and fully as incandescent bulbs can.The shelves of Home Depot. The ALMOST Holy Grail.

Tradition and Technology for Health and Sustainability. 1566 Sanchez Certified Platinum. December 9, 2012 in Uncategorized. But we didn’t do it alone. We want to thank our builder, Chris Begg of CBC General Contractors. For executing to our plans even when so many of the components we chose were new to the market and unfamiliar; Paul and Rich of Nowak Heating and Air Conditioning. For fitting in a difficult mini-split air source heat pump, and many others. Why do we do this? The homes use less energy and...

Tradition and Technology for Health and Sustainability. August 26, 2012 in Uncategorized. Well, as usual, I let an inordinate amount of time pass since my last post. It’s been a busy few months. We wrapped up construction of 1566 Sanchez. In mid-March of this year and we’re pretty darned happy with how it turned out.
