The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology is providing notice of a determination of an exception to the Buy American Provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA or Recovery Act), for a heat recovery ventilator necessary for a energy residential test facility at NIST.
At the end of a gravel driveway off Union Avenue in Ross, inside his office in a converted three-story farmhouse, the man many in Western Pennsylvania consider a trailblazer in green design sat talking enthusiastically about his latest creation. Developer Ernie Sota says the custom townhouses he is building on the South Side Slopes under construction will contain energy recovery ventilator air systems that will reduce annual heating costs from $1,800 to $700.
The center awarded the company a $150,000 federal grant earlier this year to fund an 18-week study of the product - an air heating, cooling, and filtration unit designed for use in a single room known as an integrated energy-recovery ventilator.
As designers and builders increasingly work toward constructing tighter building envelopes and more energy efficient homes and buildings, heat recovery ventilator systems are in greater demand. A recently completed Southwest Portland home, designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Efficient Design platinum standards, uses a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) system made by Airia Brands, based in London, Ontario.
Earth Day can be celebrated in a variety of ways, but being passive is the celebration of choice for Brendan O'Neill Jr., vice president of O'Neill Development Corp. in Gaithersburg, and David Peabody of Peabody Architects in Alexandria. Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Peabody, along with a team of local subcontractors, are completing the first "passive house" in the Washington area. The passive-house program is a certification program and a design and construction technique that results in a building that uses between 75 percent and 95 percent less energy for heating and cooling than buildings that meet current U.S. codes.

BREWER Carolyn Thompson expressed relief Sunday that the California man who bilked her husband, Ray Thompson, out of $30,000 soon will be behind bars. James Rivera, 42, of Carson, Calif., was convicted by a federal jury on Friday, June 24 of one count of mail fraud and 10 counts of wire fraud, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

As the building industry searches for the next big thing, the likelihood increases that builders, developers, architects and engineers will continue pushing the boundaries of what constitutes sustainable design - and they may look to Europeans for leadership. That is the view of Jerry Yudelson, a sustainability expert and engineer with Yudelson Associates. Yudelson, who worked on several high-profile sustainable building projects in Oregon and Washington for Interface Engineering, said increased demand for sustainable buildings will "drive design and construction toward European approaches and toward integrated design. In recent years, sustainable projects approved by the U.S. Green Building Council have fetched higher rents, demonstrated greater occupancy and had higher values than co...
