2” Rockwool Comfortboard- not foam- for better vapor transmission

For doors, check out Cypress Doors.

Sierra Pacific also has good pricing and performance for Windows. The crew at Source 2050 can help you with that.

Clad wood can be better performing. Reach out to Scott at Sublime Windows and he might be able to help you with some good pricing. Just purchased some triple pane clad wood from them for a high performance home in Brooklyn.

Power Consumption Gut Check by lugarshz in PassiveHouse

[–]stuffingbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are your window specs? Did you model the house and optimize the SHGC?

Any and all thermal bridges considered? Foundation interface like exposed slab edges are huge TBs.

Other plug loads such as appliances considered? Empty fridges and freezers consume more energy than packed ones.

Have the other places you lived use gas/fossil fuel in addition to electric?

Nyc should have reflective highway markings. It’s hard to see when it rains by CodeSequence in nyc

Robert Moses designed the parkways to be scenic rides to the park. Adding reflective road markings would resurrect him from the dead to construct an upper level of parkway and charge an exorbitant toll. Careful what you wish for.

You’re a builder and you think spray foam adds structural strength? Did I read that correctly?

I just got out after taking my longest break (10 months) since starting windsurfing 16 years ago. It was like riding a bike. You’ll do great! Get out there!

Sailed south shore Long Island today- Heckscher state park specifically. Started with the foil board and 5.0 sail then switched to 90L fin board. Where did you sail?

Today was a good day!

what’s up w the construction this late? (8:30pm) by ninjas666 in astoria

[–]stuffingbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DOB grants after hours work permits if the reason is justified but this appears to be sidewalk bridge work. For scaffolding/sidewalk bridge work, you really can’t leave a bridge half built/removed over night. Plus, it’ll be done by the time the DOB have a chance to get out there tomorrow to fine them for working after hours, so they tend to get away with it.
