Conway Energy: Setting the Standard in Sustainability

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Conway Energy is setting the standard locally and nationally for sustainable construction and energy efficiency.

This year is going by rather quickly, we’re already nearing the end of May and it doesn’t feel like we’ve scratched the surface. Teaching classes, holding lectures, certifying new construction, testing rehabilitated buildings for energy efficiency, training contractors on the energy efficiency standards, creating new programs for counties, and more… This is only the beginning and yet, it feels like there is so much more to be done. The job is never complete when it comes to education and implementation, which is probably why * HORN TOOT ALERT* we have received the following two awards so far this year:

  • ENERGY STAR Leadership in Housing Award
  • George Mason University’s Green Patriot Award nomination

Here is a bit of information about the ENERGY STAR Leadership in Housing Award:

“In recognition of your commitment to providing our nation’s homebuyers with ENERGY STAR certified homes, your company has earned a 2012 ENERGY STAR Leadership in Housing Award. This award recognizes your organization’s work in promoting energy efficient construction and helping to protect the environment through its partnership with ENERGY STAR.

Despite the downturn in the housing market, it is clear that both home builders and home buyers are continuing to invest in high performing homes.  To date, more than 1.3 million ENERGY STAR certified homes have been built – with more than 127,000 constructed in 2011.  All of this is thanks to the hard work and dedication by more than 5,400 active ENERGY STAR for New Homes partners!

Last year alone, with the help of ENERGY STAR and partners like you, Americans saved nearly $400 million on their utility bills, and avoided greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to that of more than 510,000 vehicles. We appreciate the contribution that your organization has made to help ENERGY STAR achieve this great level of success, and your continued partnership.

This year, EPA is proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ENERGY STAR program. For two decades, ENERGY STAR has helped millions of Americans and thousands of businesses save energy, save money, and protect the climate. Over the past 20 years, Americans, with help from ENERGY STAR, have saved nearly $230 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.7 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions.”

More about the Arlington County/ George Mason Green Patriot Awards:

The Arlington Green Patriot Award recognizes an individual, business or organization that exemplifies sustainability in more than one aspect of their recent life or operations to better civic life in Arlington, Virginia. This Year’s nominees were some phenomenally influential Arlington County players:

It was an honor to be chosen to be a part of these nominations and award programs. Thanks so much to everyone who thought of Conway Energy to include this energy efficiency and sustainability team among these wonderful people and organizations! We will continue to set the standard in energy efficiency, construction science and sustainability practices!

Take Some Fall Festivities Tips From a Pro!

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Our good buddy, Genevieve Concannon, Ecobroker at Arbour Realty has put together a list of some fun things to do around Northern Virginia as the temperatures get a little cooler and the days get a little shorter. How about taking a peak at some great leaves out in the mountains that are a short jaunt away, or heading out to the country for some old fashioned family fun at the farm? What spells A-U-T-U-M-N like a hay ride? Well, not much else, but maybe a masked man with a chain-saw running after you- am I right? Yeah… Now that’s a scary hay ride. But, truly, check out what she’s put together and mark down your calendars, because some of these fun events are coming up rather soon!

There are plenty of things to do around Northern Virginia year round, but when Fall rolls around… Get prepared to get busy doing things in the crisp, cool air!

You don’t have to drive all of the way up to Vermont to get that Fall foliage that is so gorgeous! Take advantage of the great vistas and drives that we have locally in our Northern Virginia Real Estate!  Go do the Skyline Drive ride through the Shenandoah Mountains. Fall leaves are best in Virginia from Mid to late October, so plan your trip and figure out a great route, then tell us all about it by sharing on Facebook!

McLean is a sophisticated piece of Northern Virginia Real Estate that we can’t forget about, and Fall festivities won’t be leaving it behind! Check out McLean Uncorked for foodies who follow the Food Network’s Alton Brown fan club! Note that you will need to register in advance for this October 15th food and wine event. There will be a three course meal, wine tastings, art and hors d’oeuvers.

Apple picking isn’t just for those who live in Lancaster County Pennsylvania! Drive on out to Ticonderoga Farm for pumpkin patches, hayrides and good old fashioned Fall fun in our very own Chantilly, Virginia! Know what’s pretty sweet about Ticonderoga Farm? Well, they have their own bee hives and you can get local honey- which is great for Fall Allergies from bugging you. Through the end of October.

Need a kick of hopps’n'barley ye ole beer lovers and you don’t want to go all the way to Munich for Octoberfest action? Check out Shirlington’s Octoberfest put on by Capitol City Brewing Company help rain or shine. Shirlington is dog friendly and apparently beer friendly, too with over 40+ breweries to sample 4 ounce tasters! For those of you not in the know, Shirlington is a South Arlington favorite complete with adorable restaurants, shops and theaters. October 8th from noon to 7pm rain or shine. Let’s take a side bar for a second: Fort Belvoir’s Octoberfest is happening again this year, too. Unlike the Shirlington event put on by Capitol City Brewing Company, Fort Belvoir’s Octoberfest is a 4 day festival that is much more kid friendly with a carnival, and more!

What are your favorite things to do for the Fall in Northern Virginia? Do you do the Pumpkin Patches and corn maizes and drink all of the apple cider you can possible stand? Are you the kind of person who picks out your Halloween costume months in advance to make sure you have the best one at the costume contest? Are you the Halloween Grinch who turns out all of the lights and pretends that you’re not home so you don’t have to interact with the neighborhood? Do you host a pumpkin carving party at your house complete with pumpkin pie tarts and tasty Fall-inspired sun teas? How Martha Stewart is that?!  Whichever Fall you decide to have, I hope it is a good one and that you explore some of the things that Northern Virginia has to offer and if you find something good, share it! – Genevieve Concannon

Thanks again to Genevieve for putting this list of Fall Festivities and events together. We’re sure there are more things going on and we’d love to hear about them as well. Enjoy.

DOE Solar Decathlon 2011

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Come on everybody, get your Solar Decathlon on. Starting tomorrow, September 23, 2011 through October 2, 2011 on the National Mall.

When it started back in 2002, the Solar Decathlon was slated as a biennial event where students from around the country could get together to showcase their talents  for translating topics for energy efficiency to practical uses for everyday homeowners to see in the projects and take home and utilize in their own homes. Now, nearing a decade later, the Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon brings in over twenty teams internationally to highlight much of the same things but on a global scale. Homeowners, builders and people who are just plain interested in energy efficiency are able to walk through the Solar Decathlon project houses on display on the National Mall from September 23 through October 2 to check out all of the amazing fetes that these folks have integrated to create homes that are hopefully going to win the competition for efficiency. Because did I mention, this is a competitive thing- hence, Decathlon…

Here are the rules, straight from the U.S. Department of Energy:

In the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, collegiate teams design and build energy-efficient houses powered by the sun. These teams spend almost two years creating houses to compete in the 10 contests of the Solar Decathlon. The winning team produces a house that:

  • Is affordable, attractive, and easy to live in
  • Maintains comfortable and healthy indoor environmental conditions
  • Supplies energy to household appliances for cooking, cleaning, and entertainment
  • Provides adequate hot water
  • Produces as much or more energy than it consumes.

Know what is pretty cool? You think that preparing for a triathlon takes some time and training? The teams who create and build the Solar Decathlon homes take 2 year to plan and build these homes! Now that’s some prep-work.  “Students test their houses to ensure optimal energy production and maximum efficiency. The competition places demands on the buildings’ energy systems to maintain the house within a certain temperature range, to provide lighting, to run appliances, and much more. The houses generate energy with photovoltaic (also called solar electric) systems that produce electricity and with solar thermal systems for space heating and cooling and water heating.”

Did you know that our very own EarthCraft Virginia crew has been assisting the Team New York? Well, they are, and we’ll tell you more about the awesome things that went into this Solar Decathlon house soon!

More to come when we find out who wins the 2011 Solar Decathlon competition.

A Snapshot of Arlington County’s Green Home Choice Program

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

Arlington County’s comprehensive yet flexible green home certification program paves the way for Northern Virginia County Green Building Programs.

Taking the lead from the guidelines of the EarthCraft Virginia Green Building Program, Arlington County’s Green Home Choice Program takes on home builders and renovators to help them achieve third party certification for a successful green building. They developed this program “to provide a structure and support system within which builders and homeowners can build green,” and ever since implementing this program have grown steadily and have a wonderful following of strong builders in the Arlington community.

Much like the EarthCraft Virginia which is the regional green building program and another third party verification process,  Arlington County’s Green Home Choice Program takes a look at components ranging from insulation and air sealing; energy efficient appliances and heating and cooling equipment; water conservation; indoor air pollution; energy efficient design and resources; solar electric or hot water panels and geothermal systems; and storm water management. The program defines a green home as a “healthy, comfortable home that reduces the use of energy, water, waste and natural resources, with good indoor air quality;” which is why they delve into the list of components referenced above to verify that the homes certified through the program have undergone and have been cross-checked by an Arlington County Green Home Choice Inspector.

If you are interested in utilizing this innovative program, review the guidance book first, then contact the program director, Helen Reinecke-Wilt with Arlington County for support. This weekend is the Annual Green Home and Garden Tour! Take advantage of this opportunity to check out some of the exciting homes which have achieved the Green Home Choice certification in this fun event Sunday, June 5th from 1-5pm. If your a cycling enthusiast and want to donate to Habitat for Humanity, there is a new option this year for a guided cycling tour. Check out the details through the Arlingtonians for a Clean Environment website and experience the Green Home Choice program first hand.
