That is so unfortunate. We do hear that some tour hosts restrict where people can go on their property. Exterior only is common. If you or others have similar concerns, you can always just do a virtual tour and then advertise it locally on social media or local news. Viewers can then at least see that ...

Thanks, Steve for your post. On your mention of EnergySage, I agree. With them, they specifically say that they will not give out your email address to installers without your permission, and you can see rough costs early on their website. With Solar Reviews, they do not mention the privacy issue with ...

Inspire others to go solar by showing off what you have done! With the new National Solar Tour platform, it is super quick to add a virtual project - less than 10 minutes if you have a photo(s) or video ready to upload. Plus you can now go back and modify your info later yourself if you want to add more ...

With our passive solar designs, we often place a HPWH in the below grade north side of walkout daylight basement. That area of a home can tolerate greater temperature swings and be acoustically isolated as well. We often specify a small return air duct with inline fan from high in the main living area ...

Thanks, Keith for the article on low-cost solar water heating. https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/54793.pdf It would be good to see an updated version of this research presented at SOLAR 2025. ------------------------------ Debbie Coleman (Architect & ASES Solar Buildings V-Chair) Sun Plans, Architect ...

Steve, good article idea regarding states' policies regarding PV. SOLAR 2024 is focusing on policies so perhaps a group of you there could discuss and collaborate on an article that could fall under both the ASES Policy and PV Divisions. This proposed article would be a good subject to bring up at the ...

Keith's spotlight is well-deserved especially with the attention to ambient energy. It so easy to focus on adding PV panels and neglect the important first step of efficiency first. With his home having almost zero heating and cooling load, it really shines in that department with the passive heating ...

Hi Keith, Glad you are excited about the idea of the Technical Divisions of ASES creating one-page infographics on the various subjects that relate to each division. You asked: By infographic, do you mean something with fewer words and more pictures? Yes! I guess what used to be called brochures ...

Great points, Keith, I think an attractive, simple-to-read infographic illustrating these points could be a beneficial document that ASES could distribute if you were interested in developing one for the Solar Buildings Division to review. Maybe each division could try to have a simple one-page document ...

I am excited about RESNET being more active with ASES!
