The Cool Solution
Fresno's Housing Authority keeps energy expenditures low and economic savings high with its new evaporative coolers.
Steve Marta, Maintenance Manager for the Fresno Housing Authority,wanted to change people's opinions about evaporative coolers. He felt that there was an unreasonable stigma attached to the newer energy-efficient version of these cooling units, and that people believed these units were an ineffective way to cool their homes. He also knew—given the number of complaints that his office received on hot summer days—that the conventional swamp coolers currently used on his residents'homes weren't doing the job. As a result, Marta spearheaded a project to choose new evaporative coolers as the Fresno Housing Authority's replacement product. And, thanks to the rebate program offered by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the Housing Authority was able to choose a top-of-the-line cooler while receiving around $100,000 worth of rebates.
The Fresno Housing Authority oversees 1,100 units of public housing, most of which are duplexes and single family units around 800-1,200 ft2 total in size. The Housing Authority chose new efficient evaporative cooling as its replacement product for several reasons. The coolers are a considerable energy cost saving for residents when compared with traditional A/C units, which were a considered option, and the energy costs are also less when compared with older swamp coolers. The new coolers are also very effective at producing cold air, as Steve Marta and his crew observed last year during the hot August and September months in California's Central Valley, where Fresno is located.
The evaporative cooler unit selected by the Fresno Housing Authority was the Breezair. They chose the Breezair unit because the company that manufactures the product contacted the Housing Authority and offered to install a few units for free.
"We didn't just jump in and use Breezairs on HUD housing," Marta says, wanting to make this point clear. The Fresno Housing Authority had a history with the Breezair model for a year, and were able to study the evaporative cooler and determine its effectiveness. They noted that the aspen pad material in the pre-existing swamp cooler didn't hold up very well, and that it also didn't have a pump-down water removal system.The Breezair,on the other hand, has a honeycomb pad system with pads that have the potential to last up to six years.This newstyle medium has a self-cleaning function that not only yields filtered air to the home, but also provides cooler air for a given set of conditions of dry-bulb temperature and humidity. Marta and his crew decided that the maintenance and labor savings would be much larger with the Breezair units when compared to the preexisting coolers.The savings could be attributed to many things, including the lower maintenance of the pads and the fact that the Breezair doesn't have water distribution tubes, which often become plugged and require service calls. Also, since the Breezairs don't need to be cleaned out or shut down at the end of the cooling season, but simply need to have all the water drained out of them, the maintenance, in general, is minimal as compared to a conventional swamp coolers. For these reasons, the Housing Authority decided to switch to the Breezair because it was the more costeffective of the coolers. Although there were several hundred dollars of price difference between the preexisting cooler and the Breezair unit, the rebate offered by PG&E paid for most of the incremental cost, making the Breezair cooler as affordable as an older swamp cooler.
Since the Fresno Housing Authority has to deal with constant maintenance, it made sense to go with a higher cost product that required less maintenance. The new units have, in the past ten months, required no maintenance calls. With the old coolers, Marta's maintenance crews were out in the field, constantly dealing with broken, malfunctioning, or underperforming units. They averaged between 20 and 30 calls a day on the old swamp coolers.
Good Design, Great Performance
The Breezair was a definite upgrade from the old swamp coolers. It features an all-plastic design, with 4-inch-thick pads that provide even distribution of water over the pad, which increases the unit's effectiveness.The curvedrib feature on the pad frames eliminates the possibility of water spraying outside the unit. The pump, which has a 3.6-gallon capacity, is the smallest in the industry. It also ensures a steady inflow of water, which lessens deposit buildup on the pads.
The plastic exterior of the Breezair is made of stabilized, UV-resistant, structural polymer.While Marta says that the Housing Authority will have to see if the exteriors hold up over time (with constant exposure to the hot Fresno sun), the polymer is the same material used to make acid baths, battery cases, and parts of space satellites. Unlike the metal housing used in conventional evaporative coolers, the plastic won't rust or corrode, and the plastic also generates less vibration than metal covers and conducts less noise into the ductwork.
The Breezair's blower wheel is a forward- curved centrifugal fan of double width, double inlet design, with blades that are of aerofoil shape and staggered to provide smooth airflow with reduced noise levels.The Breezair also features a quiet, lightweight fan, a water spreader that provides even water distribution over the pads, and has support legs located in the support frame for easy roof installation.
A Day in the Life
In May, two representatives from PG&E, Lance Elberling, senior program engineer, and Sue Fisher, senior program manager, along with myself from Home Energy, headed to Fresno to present a rebate check to the Fresno Housing Authority, as well as to stop by and see how the new whole-house evaporative cooling units were working. During a conversation with Maintenance Manager Marta, he revealed that the Housing Authority may be installing at least 100 more units in its housing complexes, which seems like a good indication that things are going well.
While in Fresno, Elberling and Fisher made a pit stop at FASCO, the largest evaporative cooler distributor in the city that carries all evaporative cooler brands at its store. PG&E came down to the store to talk to the counter sales staff about evaporative coolers, as well as to distribute a display containing a PG&E fact sheet and rebate program applications to be placed next to the register for customers or contractors to take. The fact sheet,"Energy-Efficient Ducted Evaporative Coolers," is a straightforward and informative source for both contractors and homeowners who may be looking for cooling solutions (see Figure 1).Also, Elberling and Fisher educated the counter staff about energy efficient whole-house evaporative coolers and the rebate program, hoping that their increased knowledge will influence the contractors who come into the store. While talking to the staff, the FASCO store manager commented that 20 years ago, the Housing Authority would have bought the cheapest possible equipment and then replaced it every two to three years,whereas now it is buying top-quality equipment, which makes more economic sense.
After we left FASCO we stopped by a housing authority unit at North Sherman Court in Fresno,where Marta and his crew were switching out old swamp coolers for the new Breezairs.
"The maintenance department would usually be inundated with calls, but ever since we installed the Breezairs we haven't had these calls," commented Susan Cuellar, the assistant director of Housing Services, as we stood in front of the unit on Sherman Court. Above our heads, on the hot roof, the maintenance team switched out an old cooler with the new Breezair on a one-story singlefamily duplex home. It takes Steve's crew about 45 minutes to switch out a unit or up to an hour if there are a few complications.
The air temperature on the day of our visit hovered in the high 90s, with the shingle temperature on the roof at 161ºF.We walked into the small, neat duplex after the Breezair had been installed. Impressively, only seven minutes after the Breezair was installed, the supply air temperature delivered into the living space came down to 63ºF when there was a 103ºF inlet temperature.
One resident of the duplex, an older woman making tamales, commented that now they won't have to water the pads, as they had to with their old swamp cooler. She predicts that there also won't be unsightly stains and mess as there were with the other cooler, when the water ran down the roof of the house and got all over the porch.
"Will it feel more like an air conditioner now?"she asked through a translator. She was told that it would.And truly, it does feel good in the home.Compared to the stifling heat outside, the interior of the house is already almost too chilly. I looked at my arm and realized that it was covered with goosebumps.
Marta confirmed that this isn't an unusual reaction. In fact,many of the residents are actually turning the Breezairs off because they get too cold."Anytime people are turning [the Breezairs] off or operating the unit on low speed in the summertime, you know they work," says Marta.
The day came to an end when Fisher presented a check for $95,100 at a meeting of the board of directors of the Housing Authority that evening. When the 2005 rebate funding went into effect, customers, like the Housing Authority, who had purchased and installed evaporative coolers in 2004 were able to apply for rebates. In the case of the Housing Authority, a request for 317 of the high efficiency whole-house evaporative coolers was submitted. Fisher told the board of the Housing Authority that the installation of these evaporative coolers, which operate at one-third the cost of conventional A/C units, is a boon to their tenants."This is only going to benefit your tenants by giving them more energy efficiency and comfort," she said. In all, PG&E will refund a total of $97,500 to the Fresno Housing Authority for 325 units.
However, the most critical part of this story is the human equation.The Housing Authority ran into a few problems with the project, including starting out using a few thermostats with the new evaporative coolers that had to be changed to hi/lo/off switches to simplify the unit's operation, especially for tenants who were non-English speaking. And while problems like this have cropped up occasionally, overall the residents have been able to use their new coolers effectively— and efficiently. Perhaps most importantly, the residents have also been able to use the coolers to keep themselves comfortable in a region of California where triple-digit temperatures are nearly a daily occurrence in the summertime. Overall, it seems this is a winning situation for everyone. PG&E benefits from an energy-efficient product that puts less strain on the grid, the Fresno Housing Authority profits from rebates, and the residents benefit from inexpensive, effective evaporative cooling.

5 things you should know about Obamacare and cancer
This year, approximately 232,000 women in America will be diagnosed with breast cancer, according to information from the American Cancer Society. Look around at your group of friends. The National Cancer Institute says that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
Coming in 2014, the Affordable Care Act, colloquially known as "Obamacare," could make it easier to detect, diagnose and treat breast cancer. Reforms could make it easier for Americans to obtain — and pay for — health coverage, and could prevent insurance providers from making cancer care prohibitively expensive.
Here are five things you need to know about how Obamacare is impacting not only breast cancer care, but health care for all cancer patients.
Starting in 2014, insurance plans will be required to cover cancer screenings and other proven preventive services, according to information from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
And many plans, including Medicaid, Medicare and any plans purchased on the Health Care Marketplace or Exchange, must cover preventive care at no cost to patients — that means no co-pay or coinsurance required.
Preventive care includes a mammogram every one to two years for women older than 40 and cervical cancer screenings for sexually active women. Women with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer also can receive BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic testing and counseling.
Early detection of breast cancer is critical: The five-year relative survival rate is 98 percent when breast cancer is detected early, but 24 percent when caught in the late stages of the disease, according to the Cancer Action Network.
In the past year, only 17 percent of underinsured or uninsured women older than age 40 had a mammogram, compared to 55 percent of women with adequate insurance, the Cancer Action Network stated.
Preventative care also encompasses vaccines, including the human papilloma virus or HPV vaccine. According to the National Cancer Institute, HPV is the cause of almost all cervical cancers, as well as other cancers. Women also can have yearly well-woman exams and won't need a referral to see an in-network OB-GYN.
The Cancer Action Network is nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy group that advances the goals of the American Cancer Society.
Starting Jan. 1, insurance companies can no longer put yearly or lifetime limits on the amount of money they'll spend on essential health care such as prescription drugs and cancer treatments, according to HealthCare.gov, the site of the new Health Insurance Marketplace and the federal government's hub for Obamacare information.
That means cancer patients won't have to worry about their insurance benefits running out, or face difficult decisions such as choosing between delaying treatment until next year or paying for treatments, medication and side effects out of pocket, according to the Society.
Beginning in 2014, having a pre-existing condition such as cancer can no longer stop you from getting health insurance. And insurance companies can no longer charge a sick person more than a healthy one, or a woman more than a man, for coverage.
Providers will be required to immediately cover treatment for pre-existing conditions and can no longer refuse to do so, even if they denied you coverage in the past, according to HealthCare.gov. Those rules also apply to Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
In 2010, the health care law also established the Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan to give temporary coverage to those who were turned down because of a pre-existing condition. Those plans will end Dec. 31.
If your insurance does deny a claim, you'll have the right to appeal that decision and ask for an internal, and an external, review, according to HealthCare.gov.
The health care law prevents insurance companies from arbitrarily canceling your health insurance because you get sick or make an error, according to HealthCare.gov.
If providers found someone had made a mistake, even a minor one, on his insurance application, they could cancel coverage, declare policies invalid from the day they started or ask people to pay back any money the company had spent on health care. The law makes these rescissions illegal.
Insurance companies can still cancel plans if someone purposefully fills out false or incomplete information, or if someone doesn't pay their premium, but must give them 30 days' notice so they can find another provider, according to HealthCare.gov.
"In other words, you can't lose your insurance for developing cancer," said the society in a statement on the benefits of Obamacare for cancer patients.
In 2010, Obamacare established a Prevention and Public Health Fund to establish programs such as prevention research, health screenings, and public education and outreach campaigns. It also established a public education campaign on breast health for young women, according to the Cancer Action Network.
Early education could benefit thousands of Americans. Each year, about 70,000 young men and women, ages 15-39, are diagnosed with cancer. Breast cancer is the most common type for that age group, according to the Young Survival Coalition, a nonprofit focused on women age 40 and younger who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
More than 1,200 women younger than 40 die from breast cancer each year, according to the organization.

Brides are getting the cold shoulder from fashion designers. Strapless wedding gowns have become so popular that the mother of a recent bride told me you can find little else in many stores. And if bare shoulders don't flatter your body type or you're getting married in December in a church with iffy heating, you might need to design your own dress or spend extra time looking for one. Either way, you'll find a bouquet of ideas for nonstrapless gowns in Philip Delamore's The Perfect Wedding Dress (Firefly, $35). This handsome coffee table book has more than 300 photos of elegant gowns, only about three dozen of them strapless, worn by celebrities and others. If you've vowed to keep your shoulders covered for the ceremony, you'll discover that you have lots of company among the brides who appear in the book in their wedding dresses. Among them: Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Jennifer Lopez, Liv Tyler and Princess Diana. You can read more about Delamore and The Perfect Wedding Dress here www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com/2006/12/07/.

Step back for Silver Springs
Just six weeks before Silver Springs becomes Florida's newest park, state environmental regulators have tapped the brakes on the renovation at the attraction.
Senior officials at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said they have stopped most of the planned $4 million upgrade after finding more problems than expected at the 242-acre park.
The officials described the delay as "a step back," taken to ensure they fully understand the infrastructure challenges before them.
Most likely, the work will not resume until after the state takes control of the Silver Springs attraction from Palace Entertainment on Oct. 1, they said.
Rick Mercer, DEP's director of operations, acknowledged that much of the refurbishing effort to this point has been "cosmetic."
But the agency's leaders also maintained that great strides have been made behind the scenes.
For example, the necessary administrative moves — designing and engineering the bigger projects, securing the required permits — have already been accomplished, they said.
"What we call major may not be major to the public," Mercer said, but "we wanted to get it right the first time."
The needed repairs also will require additional funding beyond the $4 million that Palace committed in order to buy its way out of its lease ahead of schedule. How much more is unclear.
"We're not going to know that number for a little while," Mercer said.
That's primarily because DEP still needs to get a handle on the amount of remediation that must be done, he added.
"It's an aging facility, with layer upon layer of rust, rot and decay," Mercer said.
Mercer estimated that about $1.5 million of Palace's guaranteed funding will be paid out by Sept. 15, the date that work is supposed to wrap up so the company and the state can finalize the deal.
Under the deal, Palace must pay the state any unspent funds.
Al Gregory, chief of DEP's Bureau of Park Planning, said the remaining $2.5 million would be set aside in a state trust fund and dedicated solely to Silver Springs.
Marion County Commissioner Stan McClain, the county's point man on Silver Springs since Palace signaled that it wanted out nearly three years ago, said the county tried to tell the DEP how extensive the underlying damage was.
And while the advice of the locals was ignored, McClain said, the state ought to have better understood the problems going in.
DEP officials did inspect the site last year before the transfer, which Gov. Rick Scott and the Cabinet approved in January.
But Mercer said a recent archeological dig, in addition to the construction work, uncovered conditions that would not have been revealed even with more than a cursory inspection.
"Silver Springs, just because of the age of the facility, has thrown curve balls at all of us, and that has made things a little bit clunky," Mercer said. "We just want to make sure we keep going and accomplish our goal of opening as a state park."
The state's deal with Palace called for the company to fund the repairs in exchange for terminating its lease on Sept. 30.
The agreement allowed the California-based amusement park operator to exit 16 years ahead of schedule.
The DEP budgeted $3.5 million of Palace's cash for that work and set aside the other $500,000 for contingencies.
Some structures, including many coated with asbestos and lead paint, were to be repaired, while dilapidated ones were to be demolished; kiddie rides and animals were to be removed; Ross Allen Island, a favorite attraction at the site, was slated to get a new boardwalk and new bridges compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act; and the water, sewer and stormwater drainage systems were to be modernized.
The DEP identified the latter as a top priority, mirroring the public's concern with the declining quality of the once crystal-clear water gushing from the mammoth springs.
More than a quarter of Palace's money was budgeted to fix the waterworks at the park.
Generally, the plan was to install new lines or salvage still-functioning existing ones, install new pumps, dig out new drainage areas or fix current ones, and haul off buildings on the site and asphalt from the parking lots to facilitate drainage.
Bob Rogers, an Ocala engineer and subcontractor on the project, said DEP approved the permits for that aspect of the project back in June. So far, that's the extent of the work.
"Nothing's been done out there," he said.
During a town hall meeting in Ocala on Aug. 8, however, DEP officials gave a very different impression of the progress at the park, offering a glowing assessment of the project and failing to mention to a roomful of area residents, environmentalists and political figures that major construction had stopped almost two months earlier.
And in a press release issued after that session at Fort King Presbyterian Church, the agency identified a number of "completed" projects.
Among them were stormwater improvements, including "reducing impervious surface, reshaping for better water flow and cleaning out existing ponds," as well as the addition of new ponds "with more contour." That press release remained on the DEP website Saturday, unchanged.
Mercer attributed the rosy pronouncement to a "miscommunication" among DEP staffers.
The agency instead should have pointed out that the design and permitting of the project, rather than the construction itself, was finished, he said.
Contractors say some of the work that DEP cited in that document, such as the entry boardwalk, has been completed and was done well.
Matt Mitchell, chief of DEP's Bureau of Design and Construction, noted a list of physical — as opposed to paper — accomplishments to this point.
Besides the entry walkway, the boardwalk overlooking the main springhead and rotted wood in many "essential" structures have been replaced; buildings have been painted; dead shrubs throughout the property have been removed; and the glass-bottom boats are being repaired.
Mitchell said DEP would determine as part of the "step back" when construction of the water lines and retention ponds would begin.
"This is a major project to get the water right," Mitchell said.
Marc Glissman, Palace's general manager, declined to comment in detail about the hold-up at the site.
"We continue communication and planning on the construction and the scope that has been made public through DEP," Glissman said in an email.
The revised lease granted Palace leeway to select the contractor, with DEP's approval, and McKinney Building Co. of Gainesville was the winning bidder.
Documents show McKinney Building was ready to go when DEP released its initial project list in late February. The initial report shows that McKinney assembled an array of help to get the project going.
Jim McKinney, owner of the company, declined to comment on the work stoppage.
He did, however, refer a reporter to the monthly updates he was required to submit about progress at the site.
The documents indicate much of the initial work was proceeding, but it seems too quick for DEP's liking.
On April 9, the agency directed McKinney to stop work until DEP gave him the green light in writing.
That didn't occur until May 28, records show. At that time, DEP also delivered a revised project list.
By Memorial Day, Palace had expended about $377,000 toward the renovation, records indicate.
McKinney's subsequent reports detail disputes between him and the state, so that by June 18, the DEP put on hold much of the major work.
The contractor's reports indicate the state disagreed with him over things such as replacing rotten doors at Twin Oaks Mansion, sidewalk repairs, selection of subcontractors, the cost of copying plans and whether McKinney completed some projects without permits — something Marion County's Building Safety department said did not happen.
On one hand, the state suggested McKinney's costs were above normal. On the other, McKinney noted that the DEP rejected his choice of a subcontractor to work on the drainage system, preferring instead a company that wanted to charge almost $40,000 more.
In all, according to McKinney's summary, the DEP has declined to pay him $106,773.
The revised lease says DEP pledged to not make its approval of specific projects "unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned."
Mercer, the agency's operations chief, said the DEP has projects going on at more than 140 of its parks, and he characterized the disagreements with McKinney Building as no different than "what we face at any other state park."
He added that DEP was "very pleased" with the contractor's work.
Gregory, the DEP's park planning director, said after Sept. 15 the state, and not Palace, would control who finishes the job. That would be decided through the state's regular procurement process.

About The Meeting Room Booking System
How do I login?
The system can be configured to use one of several methods of authentication,
including LDAP, Netware, and SMB. See your system administrator if you
are having trouble logging in. Some functions are restricted to certain
users, and other users will get the message
You do not have access rights to
modify this item. See your system administrator if this is not working
correctly for you.
If the system is configured to use LDAP authentication, this means that you
login with the same username and password as you use for getting email
Mark Belanger and
Why can't I delete/alter a meeting?
In order to delete or alter a meeting, you must be logged in as the same person that made the meeting. Contact one of the meeting room administrators or the person who initially made the meeting to have it deleted or changed.Top
How do I make a recurring meeting?
Clicking on the desired time brings you into the booking screen. Select the appropriate Repeat Type. The room will be scheduled at the same time, until the Repeat End Date, on the days determined by the Repeat Type.
- A Daily repeat schedules every day.
- A Weekly repeat schedules those days of the week that you check under Repeat Day. For example, use Weekly repeat to schedule the room every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday; check those days under Repeat Day. If you check no days under Repeat Day, the schedule will repeat on the same day of each week as the first scheduled day.
- An N_Weekly repeat is the same as a Weekly repeat, except that the bookings are only made for every Nth week where N is entered under Number of Weeks. For example, to make a booking for every other week, use 2 for the number of weeks.
- A Monthly repeat schedules the same day of each month, for example the 15th of the month. If you select the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, then for a month where that day does not exist the last day of that month will be used instead.
- A Yearly repeat schedules the same month and day of the month, for example every March 15th. If you select the 29th February, then for those years where that date does not exist the 28th February will be used instead.
- Finally, a Monthly, corresponding day repeat schedules one day each month, the same weekday and ordinal position within the month. Use this repeat type to schedule the first Monday, second Tuesday, or fourth Friday of each month, for example. If you have selected the 29th, 30th or 31st of the month, i.e. the fifth weekday of a month, then for those months where there is no corresponding fifth day, the fourth day will be used instead. (This is a useful way of booking the last weekday in every month).
How do I delete one instance of a recurring meeting?
Select the day/room/time that you want to delete and select Delete Entry.Top
How do I schedule rooms at different sites?
You don't. Presently the system cannot book two different rooms simultaneously. You must schedule each one separately. Make sure that the time you want is available at both sites before making a booking.Top
My meeting failed to be created because of
too many entries!
No meeting can create more than 365 entries. There needs to be some limit on the number of meetings created. This number can be increased if necessary.Top
What happens if multiple people schedule the same meeting?
The short answer is: The first person to click on the Submit button wins. Behind the scenes, the system is using a proper multi-user, multi-threaded relational database than can handle many thousands of simultaneous users.Top
What is the difference between
Internal and
By default, MRBS defines two meeting types. Internal means that the meeting will only be attended by employees. An External meeting might also be attended by customers, vendors, investors, etc. Your site can define up to a total of 10 meeting types, according to your needs. Meetings are highlighted in the main calendar view with a color corresponding to their type, and a color key of all defined types is shown at the bottom of the main calendar view.Top
How much did the system cost?
Nothing. See the next section for more information.Top
How does the system work and who wrote it?
The Meeting Room Booking System is open source software that is distributed under the Gnu Public License(GPL). This means that software is free to use, distribute, and modify.
The system is written mostly in PHP, which is an open source programming language that can be embedded in web pages similar in concept to Microsoft active server pages. PHP is especially good at accessing databases.
The database used for the system is either MySQL or PostgreSQL. MySQL is a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server that is also GPL. PostgreSQL is a full-featured multi-user open source Object Relational SQL database server.
The system will run on multiple platforms, including the PC architecture using the Linux operating system. Linux, is a free, open source, unix-like operating system.
The web server being used is yet another piece of free, open source software. The Apache web server is the world's most popular web server.
The bottom line is: every piece of this system, from the operating system to the application, is completely free - source code and all.Top
