Life is a tactile comic for the blind by the ingenious Philipp Meyer
As avid readers of graphic novels, comics, vintage pulps, superhero adventures, illustrated reportage and pretty much any other forms of image and text you can cobble together on paper, we'd be pretty devastated were we to suddenly find ourselves without the ability to enjoy them at will. For some, that fear is a reality and for blind and partially-sighted people the world of graphic fiction is one they'll never know. Philipp Meyer objects to this and has been working hard to create a tactile version of our favourite boxed-off narratives that can be enjoyed manually instead of visually.
Life is his first attempt at creating a simple comic book for the blind and he's channeled all his efforts into making sure it's as exciting for those without sight as comics are to those with it. In this instance texture is key, and Philipp has experimented with a variety of different ways to communicate quickly and accurately with his readers using only perforations in the paper. Early tests and reader feedback sounds positive but we're just impressed to see comics moving into new and exciting territory that allows everyone to appreciate an often under-appreciated medium. Long may it continue!

This jewelry store has really great jewelry and even better prices and if you don't see anything you like the owner can make it for you. I have had numerous items repaired there that had been bought from other stores and it has not broken since. I had some stones set, rings sized you name it they can do it. I had even lost one of my earrings once and I took the erring I had to the store and the owner found a matching stone and reset both stones into new post for me. We purchased my engagement ring and wedding band from Mid Ohio diamond and gold and I had priced it at Jared's, IDG, Zales, Diamond Cellar and Mid Ohio Diamond and gold's price was three thousand dollars less than any of those stores. Don't waste your time or money I highly recommend this jewelry store.

this store is the best! consignment shop quality with thrift store prices! the store, the merchandise is clean, neat and arranged orderly.... not a whole lot of "digging" required. the people who work there are amazing and incredible too! friendly and loving... the atmosphere makes whoever walks in the door feel comfortable and loved.... a place friendly for fun, quick browsing.... you never know what treasure you'll find! and the best part? not only are you getting something you or your family needs or even wants for an amazing price - but you are helping an organization help people get their lives right so they can be a positive part of society too! if you are ever in columbus,ohio you definitely have to check it out! ;)
I'm a bit shocked by the other comment on this site. I have never had a bad selling experience with this store (even when they did not accept some of my things). They will donate items to charity that they cannot accept if you opt for them to or if you don't pick them up within a week or two but it is your responsibility to follow up if you drop stuff off. Thats fair in my book. The store is huge and always stocked with stuff. They get items in every day of the week too and I like their staff. Its too bad more people haven't taken the time to leave feedback because I've only ever heard good things about this place and have been shopping here for over 10 years.

The music was incredible. I'm not an opera fan, but these soloists were quite good. The Chorale was wonderful. I took my granddaughter who has not been exposed to much classical music and she loved it. Perfect weather and very good seats.

Fitbit wins in ITC patent infringement suit against Jawbone
Fitbit is now less likely to endure an import ban for some of its fitness trackers into the United States, following a ruling made by a US International Trade Commission (ITC) judge yesterday. In a dispute between Fitbit and Jawbone over alleged patent infringement, ITC Judge Dee Lord ruled the last of the contentious patents owned by Jawbone to be invalid, though the ordeal is not yet over for either of the companies involved.
Florida firm sues Apple, Samsung, LG, Qualcomm over patents
A small Florida company, ParkerVision, has sued several tech giants and filed a US International Trade Commission (ITC) complaint alleging that Qualcomm specifically, and smartphone makers Apple, Samsung, and LG more generally, have been infringing on four of Parkervision's patents regarding wireless networking. The involvement of Apple and LG only comes via their use of allegedly-infringing Qualcomm chips in their products; Samsung is also alleged to be infringing with its own in-house Shannon 928 RF chip.
ITC to investigate Apple over Ericsson LTE patent claims
The US International Trade Commission has announced a formal investigation into a complaint filed by Ericsson -- along with a handful of court cases -- following a lawsuit by Apple over what the iPhone maker says is a dispute about a fair rate for some standards-essential and LTE patents. The battle began earlier this year, when Apple complained to a court about "excessive" rates Ericsson wanted to charge for previously-licensed LTE technology.
ITC to investigate Samsung, Qualcomm over Nvidia patent allegations
Video card maker Nvidia has cleared its first hurdle in a patent dispute with Samsung and Qualcomm, as the US International Trade Commission (ITC) voted to investigate complaints the GPU manufacturer filed over infringement. The ITC will evaluate if a number of possibly-infringing devices, such as the recently announced Galaxy Note 4, should be barred from entering the country. The decision stems from complaints Nvidia filed last month with the ITC and US District Court in Delaware.
US appeals court agrees with ITC, Apple not infringing Samsung patent
A court of appeals has failed to resurrect a US International Trade Commission complaint filed by Samsung against Apple. The appeals court today ruled that the suit would not be reinstated as the court found it agreed with the ITC's determination, and previous rulings in favor of the Cupertino manufacturer would stand.
Court of Appeals upholds ITC ruling in Apple v. Motorola patent fight
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld an International Trade Commission ruling that found Apple didn't violate a Motorola patent on communications between devices and data networks, reports say. The ruling, issued in May, specifically dealt with Claim 12 of the patent, and whether or not it covered the deletion of apps capable of receiving push notifications. The ITC determined that Apple's implementation of status updates to halt notifications was non-infringing.
Apple files appeal on portions of ITC ruling against Samsung
Despite the current government shutdown, an International Trade Commission lawyer has filed a notice of Apple's intent to appeal unfavorable portions of the company's ITC win against Samsung back in August. Though the ruling awarded Apple a victory in declaring that Samsung had infringed on multiple Apple patents -- resulting in an embargo against mostly-now-discontinued Samsung smartphone models -- the iPhone maker is still pushing for a broader ban that includes more patents.
Midnight deadline looms for veto of ITC ban on some Samsung products
The Obama administration has until midnight Eastern time tonight to overturn an impending International Trade Commission ban on some older Samsung devices, reports note. Earlier this year, the administration vetoed an ITC import ban on AT&T models of Apple's iPhone 4 and iPad 2. While the ban against Samsung would only affect a small number of outdated phones, that company and others have argued that failing to issue a veto could be a sign of economic protectionism, since Apple is US-based while Samsung is headquartered in South Korea. The administration has claimed that it opposes using patents to block competitors.
HTC works with Qualcomm to change radio reception method
HTC is being forced to change the design of the HTC One yet again, along with other devices in its range, in order to avoid more legal trouble from Nokia. Following the first stage victory of Nokia in its ITC complaint against HTC, the manufacturer is now working on a way to improve the HTC One's radio components, without infringing on Nokia's patents.
ITC finds Samsung infringing on two Apple patents, sales embargo soon
Updated with Samsung statement on ruling The US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled today that assorted Samsung mobile products do in fact infringe on two of four Apple-held patents in a complaint going back to 2011. The panel has issued an import embargo on some of Samsung's older mobile products, preventing it from selling and distributing the infringing devices. Today's ruling begins the 60-day Presidential review process of the ITC ruling.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE
French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July
For some long-time Scrivener users, to quote Paul Simon, "these are the days of miracle and wonders." As it marks its 10th anniversary in business, developer Keith Blount has announced that the long-awaited iOS version of his creative-writing tool Scrivener is to be submitted to the App Store, following strong praise from beta-testers. The program, expected in late July, will sell for $20 and work with both the iPad and iPhone. When we interviewed Blount last January, he added that Scrivener 3 for Mac would follow along shorty afterwards. http://bit.ly/2901XLE

Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX

Kangaroos demolish Kiwis in RLWC final
Australia 34
New Zealand 2

New Zealand's reign as rugby league world champions has ended in utter misery and embarrassment as they were smashed 34-2 by Australia in the World Cup final this morning.
After causing a massive upset in the final five years ago in Brisbane, the Kiwis couldn't repeat that feat and were taken to pieces in a devastatingly one-sided contest.
The Kangaroos were clinical in everything they did and found it all too easy to beat a Kiwis team that never got into the game.
It quickly became apparent that the majority of the 74,468 crowd at the sold-out Old Trafford were supporting New Zealand as the Kangaroos were greeted to boos as they came out for their warm up.
However, the atmosphere during the game was flat throughout as there was precious little that the Kiwis did that there was to get enthusiastic about.
Johnathan Thurston kicked Australia in front in the fifth minute after Kieran Foran was penalised for bumping into Billy Slater, preventing him from catching a bomb.
Three minutes later the Kiwis' game plan was in tatters when Roger Tuivasa-Sheck hobbled off the field, clearly still hampered by his sore right leg.
It meant a quick reshuffling of the Kiwis team with Dean Whare moving to the wing and Alex Glenn taking his spot at centre. The Kangaroos didn't waste any time jumping on the Kiwis' weakness and relentlessly attack down their left edge for the entire game.
There was more drama straight after when Jarryd Hayne looked to knock himself out when he got his head in the wrong position trying to tackle Simon Mannering.
However, after a couple of minutes Hayne continued in the game, despite appearing groggy initially.
In the 15th minute, Shaun Johnson had levelled the scores at 2-2 from a penalty, however the game was only tied briefly as Billy Slater scored the opening try, catching Thurston's kick, then spinning round and diving over.
Ten minutes later the Kangaroos came close to scoring their second try, Hayne took a snap kick from out wide, Cooper Cronk beat Issac Luke to the ball but couldn't ground it as the Kiwis hooker just managed to get his hand under it.
However, the Australians did get another try on the half hour mark with Cronk being the first to a loose ball close to the Kiwis' line.
Four minutes from the break Thurston stretched Australia's lead further with another penalty and it was the final significant act of what had been a dreadful half for New Zealand.
Forty five seconds into the second half the Kangaroos had all but confirmed themselves as World Cup winners when Slater strolled in for his second try, as Australia again carved up down their left edge.
In the 50th minute, what Thurston feared in his press conference came true, with Australian wing Brett Morris smashing into the electronic advertising hoarding as he slid out of play after grounding the ball for his country's next try.
Five minutes later Manu Vatuvei crashed into the hoarding at the other end of the ground, with his body bouncing off the concrete below him before the collision. Both instances demonstrated that in a final where both teams will do everything to score, Old Trafford is simply too dangerous a venue.
Morris got the Kangaroos' final try in the 72nd minute and that was the signal for the Australian players to begin their celebrations, safe in the knowledge that they were the new world champions.
Australia 34 (Billy Slater 2, Brett Morris 2, Cooper Cronk tries; Johnathan Thurston 6 con, penalty) New Zealand 2 (Shaun Johnson penalty). HT: 16-2

19 Homes, Golf Available at Gated, Senior Development
Published: Thursday, September 4, 2003 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 9, 2003 at 5:42 p.m.
POINCIANA -- Solivita is an over 55, gated development with a Mediterranean-style Village Center, championship golf course, and 19 model homes.
Residents and their guests can walk, jog or bike along a fivemile foot path, or paddle along the Oak Crest Waterway in a complimentary canoe or rowboat.
Residents can launch their own non-motorized craft.
Solivita is on the Polk County side of Poinciana, at 395 Village Drive. With slightly more than 3,000 acres, nearly two thirds of the development will remain woodlands, wetlands and lakes that have been dedicated and preserved for conservation.
The Village Center has the Waterfront Galleries, which are a two-story art studio with a lake view with room for painting and sculpting; a crafts room with a pottery kiln for ceramics; an Investments Gallery with a stock ticker, Internet access and a library of magazines and resource material; a Magnolia Room for meetings and card playing; a computer lab and a game room with three custom pool tables and darts.
The Riviera Spa & Fitness Center has an indoor, heated pool, an outdoor pool, two spas, an indoor self-contained track with its own sound and air-conditioning systems, an exercise studio with fitness and cardiovascular equipment and free weights, a dance studio for aerobics and other group fitness activities, a classroom for cooking lessons, and a trained and certified staff to assist residents.
The development has three restaurants:the Gateway Cafe, The Grille at Stonegate Golf Club, and Mosaics.
The Gateway Cafe is part of the Waterfront Galleries in the Village Center and has bagels, other bakery items, gourmet coffee, latte, espresso, cappuccino, and hand-dipped ice cream.
Mosaics is a full-service restaurant that has special dinner functions each month.
The Grille at Stonegate has breakfast, lunch and dinner items served in a club-like atmosphere. Menu items are sandwiches, chili or chowder, draft beer, and a selection of salads. The eatery is in the Stonegate Golf Clubhouse and has seating on a patio overlooking the 18th hole.
The development has a walking path that will eventually cover five miles.
A softball diamond, five tennis courts, pickle ball, horseshoes, bocci, shuffle board and basketball courts are provided to homeowners.
The Starlite Ballroom, which is about 6,155 square feet, has a stage with a surround-sound system for movies and other events. Space is available for dancing, stage performances and specialoccasion banquets by night, and meeting rooms, card rooms and lecture series by day.
The Stonegate Golf Club has a Par 72-championship golf course designed by Ron Garl with yardage ranging from 5,200 to 7,000.
Grandchildren are permitted to visit, but no one under 18 may be a permanent resident.
The monthly assessment fee ranges from $211 to $252. Monthly fees vary by neighborhood. The fees cover lawn and landscape maintenance for the front sides and rear of each home, including irrigation sprinkler maintenance; a basic cable TV package; membership in the Riviera Spa & Fitness Center; use of all recreational amenities and participation in all recreation activities, except golf; access to neighborhood pools and parks; common area maintenance; 24hour security services; access to meeting space for clubs and group activity; scheduled afternoon and evening entertainment, including movies and live performances; and use of the Waterfront Gallery for arts and crafts, the investments area and billiard gallery.
Solivita was developed by Avatar.

Senator Reid recovering after stroke
WASHINGTON -- Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada is recuperating after a brief mini-stroke that caused no complications but that he waited three days to disclose.
Reid, 65, a gold miner's son who rose to become one of the nation's most powerful elected Democrats, saw a doctor in Las Vegas after feeling lightheaded Tuesday evening, aides said Friday. He was told he had experienced a kind of mini-stroke called a transient ischemic attack.
"There are no complications or any restrictions on his activities," said press secretary Tessa Hafen. "He has undergone evaluations this week, and his doctors have recommended that he take advantage of the summer congressional recess for some down time."
Reid, who became leader of the Senate's Democratic minority in January, canceled several public events Friday and Saturday in Nevada and remains in Las Vegas with family members, Hafen said.
He is not hospitalized, and is expected to be able to resume his normal schedule by the time Congress returns from its summer recess on Sept. 6, she said.
Asked why an announcement of the event was delayed for three days, Hafen said, "The reason was the tests and the evaluations that they were doing. We wanted to make sure we knew what we were announcing. You need conclusive information."
On vacation in Texas, President Bush was told of Reid's situation. "The president is glad to hear that Sen. Reid is feeling fine and looks forward to working with him this fall," said White House spokesman Trent Duffy.
Reid was in his hometown of Searchlight, Nev., in the desert about an hour south of Las Vegas, when the episode occurred Tuesday evening. At the urging of his wife, Landra, he went to Las Vegas that night to see a doctor, Hafen said. She would not comment on whether he was hospitalized overnight.
"He honestly has been feeling fine this week, he was just doing some tests and running some evaluations," the spokeswoman said. "He has run 12 marathons (in the past). He's in good shape."
Reid had never had a previous episode of this kind, Hafen added.
A transient ischemic attack is described by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke as a transient stroke that lasts a few minutes and occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is briefly interrupted.
Symptoms including weakness and dizziness usually occur suddenly and are similar to those of stroke, but usually disappear within an hour, though they may persist for up to 24 hours.
The National Stroke Association says one in three people who experience such an episode go on to have an actual stroke.
Reid was chosen to lead Senate Democrats at the beginning of the current congressional session after the previous minority leader, Tom Daschle of South Dakota, lost his 2004 re-election bid. He had been the Democratic whip -- the No. 2 position -- for six years before moving into the leadership role. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois succeeded him as whip.
Reid has represented Nevada in the Senate since 1987 and was re-elected last year with 61 percent of the vote. He served in the House from 1983-87.

When the tide is pouring out of the harbour, you can't go far north from the Nelson Yacht Club until you run into the wharf.
That meant last night's race four in the Port Nelson swim series was a little short, making it into a sprint of 800m for the top competitors.
There's not much to choose between the top men until they dig deep into their reserves in the final sprint, and Kaiori McGuinniety proved for the fourth week in a row that he's a master over the last few metres.
He won in 8min 21sec, 10 seconds ahead of Harrison Dean, with Matt Hansen, Luke Kelly and Simon Kneebone not far behind.
Lisa Birkett was consistent too, taking out the women's race for the third consecutive week from Libby Gray, Pip Dwyer, Philippa Kennard and Charlotte Handforth.
Competitors in the short course faced a longer course than usual as they covered more than 400m.
For the first time this summer, Matai McGuinniety was pushed from the top spot by Georgie Trengrove in a thrilling finish that could have gone either way.
Brooke Matheson, Clara Foster, Hannah Clark and Briar Waugh were next to finish.
Swimming continues next week with a longer course and an incoming tide. Results and information at nelsonseaswims.co.nz.

Lois M. Collins: Will you be a source of joy in someone's life?
Steve Helber, Associated Press
The yard was slowly falling into disrepair, the grass raggedy, the roses overgrown. In this house, the man has been recuperating from a major surgery and the woman has been working as many extra hours and odd jobs as she could find to pay for medications and other related costs. Those were added expenses at a time when his income was no longer available.
It was a temporary situation, while he regained health after a car crash. His recovery was going to take time.
I relate to them because we've had that kind of year ourselves.
When I called her recently to see how things are going, she told me that a neighbor had called the city where they live to complain about the yard.
She got lucky. The city worker who came out to see didn't just leave a citation, but knocked on her door. Her husband answered, thin and pale, and explained their situation.
The worker said the yard had to be kept up — and that he would personally take care of it on Saturday.
"He told my husband, 'I'm sorry for your troubles,'" my friend said, a light catch in her voice. "And he came back and did it."
It was not very long before they were able to resume caring for their own yard. But at that moment, it had been impossible. And what could have been an added sorrow turned into an unexpected bit of pleasure for the couple, although it's probably not what the neighbor had in mind.
It's funny what happens when someone takes time to care, to knock, to ask what's going on, instead of muttering and phoning in an anonymous complaint.
I once worked with someone who wrote critiques of other peoples' articles and sent them up the chain of command, filled with questions about why the reporter didn't do this or that. Had he asked any of us — or courtesy-copied us on the complaints — we could have explained. He did neither. I always learned what he said about my work secondhand, which was too bad, because whether I was right or wrong, I at least always had a reason for how I'd handled a story. And instead of helping make each of us a little better reporter, he made himself a bit of a joke.
He complained about my article on children who sabotage their own futures. I quoted mostly experts and didn't showcase a particular child. He was right that it would have been a more dramatic story, but I couldn't quite picture the conversation leading up to it: "Can I hold you up as an example of appalling judgment and tell everyone about your mistakes? It'll be a great story."
Yet, as much as I dislike the neighbor's anonymous complaint or the backhanded approach to "helping" me do better at my job, if I really think about it, I probably do similar things to others. I'm certainly not shy about leaping to conclusions or voicing them.
My world has become a little too "anything goes" in terms of basically bad behavior, and it's reflected everywhere I look, from TV shows that have few brakes on crudeness and rudeness to politicians and pundits who will say whatever makes their point, even if it's not accurate or constructive.
My friend and coworker, Gerry Avant, recently pointed out that you can swear up a storm and use God's name derisively and it's protected speech. Say it reverently in a public place and you're deemed way out of line.
I can't do much about others. But I'm going to decide what I will be — hopefully, the unexpected source of joy, not the bad taste from a neighbor's carping.

Hi! Two weeks ago, my wife and I visited a colleague whom recently purchased a cabin in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. In the property behind her house, were a bunch of old cars and trucks. I snapped away with my digital camera, knowing they would make wonderful photos. The combination of snow, rust, dead foliage, and shadows makes for a good series. We don't have any way of knowing the history of these vehicles, but these series of pictures are worth viewing, and hopefully posted on your site. Enjoy! Paul Thibault Wolcott, CT

The Building Technologies Office (BTO) has selected three projects to receive a total of $3.7 million to study the effects of improving the implementation of commercial building energy codes.
The Energy Department today announced the results of this year's Better Buildings Alliance technology and market campaigns. Through partnerships with public and private sector organizations, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is working with interested landlords, tenants, and owners to adopt solutions that best meet the needs of their buildings for sustainable leasing and upgrades to indoor lighting.
Tony Bouza, HVAC, Water Heating, and Appliances Technology R&D Manager within DOE's Building Technologies Office (BTO), was recently recognized by the Small Business Technology Council (SBTC) as a "Champion of Small Business."
Chicago firm QCoefficient uses model predictive control (MPC) to pre-cool large commercial buildings, savings hundreds of thousands of dollars and tons of CO2.
Appliances used in commercial buildings for cooking, cleaning, water heating, and other end-uses account for nearly 22 percent of annual commercial building primary energy usage. According to a new report from DOE's Building Technologies Office, energy-saving technologies available today could reduce commercial appliance consumption by 22 percent, with emerging technologies offering even bigger savings potential—36 percent.
The Building Technologies Office (BTO) released a request for information to seek feedback from the public on the technical metrics and goals, and organizational structure for a proposed advanced heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) research and development (R&D) effort.
Since 2013, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has been leading research and market transformation efforts for energy efficient storm windows, which they have identified as a key energy-saving measure for homeowners –- not to mention modern design appeal and environmental benefits.
The Energy Department is piloting a new crowdsourcing community where any American citizen can submit their innovative ideas for improving building efficiency.
Wrong question. The right question is what can we do to help builders design and construct more perfect walls without losing their shirts? At Building America, we have an idea for a tool to do this.
This year's Better Buildings Summit was filled with the announcement of several exceptional milestones and Partner achievements. U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz lauded the initiative's $1.3 billion in energy cost savings coupled with the avoidance of 10 million tons of harmful carbon emissions, as well as the Challenge Partners that facilitated the decrease in energy use through commitments to implementing energy-efficient technology and strategies within their respective portfolios.
On Monday, June 13, Building Technologies Office (BTO) Senior Advisor and Program Manager Joan Glickman highlighted DOE's recent achievements in developing standardized tools and practices at the High Performance Building Congressional Caucus Coalition's Congressional Briefing, one of several events taking place as part of High Performance Building Week 2016.
On May 26, Better Buildings announced an historic partnership with The CoStar Group, one of the largest providers of information to real estate decision-makers in the country, to increase the visibility of energy performance data in CoStar's online property database.
New projects designed to save consumers money and reduce energy consumption.
21 governments and European Union announce efforts to double clean energy R&D investments over five years to $30 billion per year.
LIQUIDARMOR, a sprayable liquid sealant developed by The Dow Chemical Company and evaluated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), recently won the 2016 Gold Edison Award for Building Construction & Lighting Innovations. The Edison Awards honor the best in innovation and excellence in the development of new products and services.
I recently got back from Louisville, Kentucky, where I was representing DOE in the latest round of energy code development hearings. While the people who participate in the development process know energy codes inside and out, I know they are not as clear to the broader public. So let's take a step back. Here's a primer on what energy codes are, how they are developed, adopted, and enforced, and what DOE's role is in these processes. Future blog posts in this series will zoom into specific topics.
First, here are a few key points:
The Energy Department (DOE) was pleased to help Better Buildings Alliance affiliate Environmental Defense Fund prepare a new class of Climate Corps fellows during their training this past week in New York City. EDF Climate Corps is an innovative summer fellowship program connecting public and private sector host organizations across the country and abroad with talented graduate students to support clean energy and energy efficiency projects. During the weeklong training, fellows are equipped with best practices and sustainability tools by a robust network of sustainability professionals.
As part of the Obama Administration's effort to cut energy waste in the America's buildings, the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Initiative today announced a partnership with CoStar Group, Inc., a provider of data and intelligence solutions to commercial real estate professionals, to expand the visibility of energy-efficient buildings in U.S. property markets and promote the benefits of energy efficiency for building owners and occupants.
Securing funding for energy efficiency projects within the commercial sector is difficult due to the perceived risk by lending institutions. Architects and engineers have advanced energy-efficient technologies considerably over the past several years, which often mitigates any risk associated with these projects.
The Department of Energy's Buildings Technologies Office announced the latest winners for its JUMP platform, an online crowdsourcing initiative aimed at advancing energy-efficient building technologies, during the 11th annual Bay Area Maker Faire in San Mateo, California.
Energy modeling is often used to evaluate ECM payback, calculating the operational energy savings that accrue after an initial capital investment. One ECM with a consistently short payback—on the order of a month or two—is energy modeling itself!
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will launch its Smart Energy Analytics Campaign in October 2016, having previewed the campaign at the biannual Better Buildings Summit last week.
The Department of Energy recently announced nearly $2 million for 13 new building technology projects led by small businesses with a strong potential for commercialization and job creation.
Trane Commercial Systems and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have attained 25% greater performance out of a baseline commercial rooftop air-conditioning unit (RTU) by improving the mechanical system design and switching to a lower-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant.
Better Buildings partners have saved more than $1.3 billion on energy costs. Our new infographic explains how Better Buildings works and why it's important.
