Phoenix Energy And Construction Expands

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Phoenix Energy and Construction has qualified as a Participating Contractor in Energy Upgrade California, collaboration between the California Department of Energy and Utilities throughout the state, to reduce energy use and create a more comfortable, healthy and safe environment in homes. Homeowners can achieve up to $ 8000 in rebates and incentives to upgrade their attic and wall insulation, home heating/cooling, windows and perform weatherization. “Our goal is to optimize efficiency of the whole house where all systems work together and complement each other and this means saving money on utility bills,” says managing co-partner Clifford Wolf.

The first step in the process is to do an energy audit of the home. Phoenix Energy and Construction uses advanced technologies to obtain data that assigns values to the home’s current consumption of energy and establishes the baseline to improve from. It combines building science with raw data that is measured to computer model energy saving opportunities. Once inspected and tested, a customized report is created that highlights problem areas, prioritizes improvements and itemizes their costs. Also included is an analysis of achievable reduction of the utility bills. Recommendations, which could include Solar or Solar-thermal for hot water consumption, often result in greater then 40% energy savings.

Lawrence and Vanessa Wood, Co-Founders/CEO of the Non Profit Organization Fan of the Feather, http://www.fanofthefeather.org, wanted to assess the home they had purchased to house Veteran woman transitioning from military to civilian life. They wanted to effectively make energy improvements to the home that is planned to house eight adult women and a state of the art learning center. The existing home, built around 1980, was assessed and modeled to require attic insulation, a new home heating/cooling system, lighting upgrades and a water heater as well as reconfiguration of the garage they planned to use as the learning center. A scope of work was developed that included insulation to R38 and weatherization, a requirement in the Energy Upgrade California program. A Hydronic furnace, a solar thermal/tankless solution to address hot water consumption for eight adults every day, photovoltaic/solar system, to address the anticipated increased electric usage and a mini-split heat/AC solution for the learning center was included.

New Haven Youth and Family Services Non Profit Organization in Vista, Ca., has a mission of building positive futures for youth, their families and communities by believing in each youth’s ability to hope and plan for a better future. Doreen Quinn is CEO at http://www.newhavenyfs.org. Phoenix Energy is working with students from North County Trade Tech High School, administered by New Haven, that focuses on career oriented technical education. Eric Miller, LEED AP is the Integrated Design Instructor who teaches their Home Performance curriculum. Lamar Parks, managing co-partner at Phoenix Energy and Construction, connected with Eric and Doreen, to support this curriculum that will equip students with knowledge and skill necessary to develop a home performance workforce for our future – to achieve Net Zero Energy buildings by 2020, as mandated in Ca. AB212. “We decided to mentor the students through the whole process of Home Performance on one of the residential homes operated by New Haven”, says Parks. This involves introducing students to advanced understanding of the technical requirements for the residential energy assessment, computer modeling, presenting the energy saving opportunities to the homeowner and working on the improvements. The existing residential facility, built in 2001 to house eight students, requires a new home heating/cooling system, radiant solar barrier, weatherization and insulation to meet standards required by Energy Upgrade California and a Whole House Fan system to facilitate air exchange.

Magnetic Miss Meteor

This beautiful/heartless woman held a planet in slavery. How could a revolt prevail against her magic? ExcerptIf you’ve ever been up to your ears in a rebellion you know that the toughest part of the job is to keep the secret. There’s a right time for a plot to spring. Up to that split second you’ve got to be as dumb and innocent as a clam. I was clammy for months before the day, on the planet of Venus, that I thought we’d surely touch off the fireworks. I’d lived the double life as a mild and obedient assistant to a mild and faithful young executive. I, Adam Alonzo Briff, drew my pay coupons each week, earth time, by tending strictly to business, and my immediate superior, Jay Lathrop, likewise received his steady income for obedient service. To whom? To the lady who was the boss of this one and only Venus outpost Together Jay Lathrop and I, along with scores of other rebels, wore our well polished mask of allegiance whenever we paraded in front of the leader we hoped to push into a fiery furnace. Take my word for it, Violet Speer, in spite of her name, was no shy little violet. She was a dyed-in-the-wool villainess. Consider, for instance, what happened that momentous night, Friday the 13th, earth time. I was standing on a stone step of this somewhat ancient market building on this oppressive Friday afternoon, receiving instructions from Jay Lathrop. It was a normally hot day. If there’s an easy way to escape the oppressive heat of Venus without wallowing in the swamps with the poisonous rajlouts, I don’t know what it is. I was listening to Lathrop’s instructions for one of the wrecking crews, and he was pacing the old stone sidewalk with an energetic click of his polished black boots, when up the sidewalk came a uniformed guard bearing an order from Violet Speer. “Lend a hand,” he said. “We’ve lost Mr. Grailford. He’s wanted for a special purpose.” “What
