Hello neighbors. Did any of you happen to see this meeting on Climate Action and Fire Safety Action (https://www.youtube.com/live/Hp_NKE7dD6E?si=9Tn2QN6dT8LxGBwl)? It highlights the key design principles of rebuilding in a way that is affordable, sustainable, and resilient, while also incorporating passive home design principles for greater energy efficiency and long-term sustainability #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter There's more information in this UCLA press release, Supporting a Safe and Resilient LA Recovery (https://sustainablela.ucla.edu/ResilientLA).

Another option for passive home information is the Passive House Institute. They are the pioneers of passive home building and have a different approach for modeling, reviewing work, and certification (if you decide to go this route). https://passivehouse.com/ #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter

Assembly member Ward Introduces AB 368 to Advance Passive House Standards for More Cost-Effective Energy Efficiency This is something we need to get onboard and get behind because it can mean significant grants for us. "Passive House standards reduce emissions, lower energy costs, and create healthier, more resilient buildings," said Assemblymember Ward. "By offering developers an alternative compliance pathway, we’re making it easier and more affordable to build sustainable homes and strengthen our communities."

The Genius Of Hot Water Heat Pumps https://youtu.be/abGiNL9IT54?si=ZPLpsYIrbUzQAdpx - It produces more heat than the energy you put into it. Energy in versus energy out. - Costs can be offset by rebates, grants, and incentives from state and local utilities, as well as a federal tax credit. #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter

I’m. Was this expected? Well, I hope the crypto bros who invested in this administration are getting their money’s worth. The market has tanked.

How to Build a House That Uses 90% Less Energy! https://youtu.be/mBOvflXoWlw?si=HL1Z6qJkScWym4Xr "These buildings are super insulated (continuous, continuous, continuous!), have little to no thermal bridges, well insulated windows, are airtight, utilize an HRV/ERV, and have minimal conditioning systems. They are not only energy efficient, but crazy comfortable and healthy! Is there a better way to build?" #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter

BLOW DOOR SCORE A blower door score is a measure of how airtight or energy-efficient a building is. It’s determined through a blower door test, which involves using a large fan to depressurize the home and measuring the amount of air that leaks in through cracks and gaps. The score indicates the rate of air leakage, typically represented in cubic feet per minute (CFM) per 100 square feet of building area. The lower the blower door score, the more airtight the building is, which usually means better energy efficiency. A lower score can result in lower heating and cooling costs, improved comfort, and reduced environmental impact. High leakage could indicate that the building is losing energy, leading to higher utility bills and potential issues with temperature control #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireHarden #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter
