MODERN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD: February 2009
http://kossdb.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 9, 2009. Well I’ve got a new product that I will be trying out soon, ThermoBlock (. This product is a substitute for traditional wood framed walls, concrete masonry unit (block) walls and concrete walls. This product can also be used for retaining walls and basement walls so it covers the gamut of building conditions. As always feel free to contact me for more info. Http:/ www.kossdb.com.

On our LEED buildings we make sure to have separate recycling containers and logs for all of the different types of construction debris inorder to limit the amount of waste going to landfills. The article below by Joe Barrios from EcoGreenVillage. 10 things to always keep out of landfills and the water supply. February 23, 2009 by Joe Barrios. 2) Lithium-ion batteries. The...

MODERN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD: GREEN BANG FOR YOUR BUCK - New Construction
http://kossdb.blogspot.com/2010/05/whether-your-project-is-trying-to-be.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. GREEN BANG FOR YOUR BUCK - New Construction. These two items are something everyone should already be carefully considering on any project and if you integrate them properly into your design, you will find yourself sitting pretty, and comfortably I might add, when you are occupying your new space. The other item to consider is insulation. Insulating your project is one area to that everyone should go ahead and plan on using the best products, thicknesses and installers they can ...

MODERN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD: GREEN ROUND TABLE RADIO SHOW
http://kossdb.blogspot.com/2010/06/green-round-table-radio-show.html
Wednesday, June 2, 2010. GREEN ROUND TABLE RADIO SHOW. Yesterday I was guest on the Green Round Table with David Isaac and Frank Clemente on KXXT 1010 AM. It was great to be able to speak about some of the sustainable design concepts and projects we have going and get the word out about green design. 1 I was intimidated to contact one. 2 The builder assured me it was not necessary. 3 I did not want to add time or cost to the project. Those are the exact reasons why you want to use an architect. Well ...

MODERN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD: December 2008
http://kossdb.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. Drywall, everyone’s favorite subject! Drywall is a necessary evil for most homes. The walls and ceilings of the average American home are covered primarily with drywall, in some cases 100%. Until recently it has been very hard to get drywall with any recycled content, let alone a high recycled content. I have a project in design right now that I will be specifying this product on. As always price is a major concern so I am hopeful it will be competitive to use. On the u...EcoRo...

MODERN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD: GREEN BANG FOR YOUR BUCK - New Construction 2
http://kossdb.blogspot.com/2010/06/green-bang-for-your-buck-new.html
Tuesday, June 1, 2010. GREEN BANG FOR YOUR BUCK - New Construction 2. In last week’s blog I wrote about the two items that I feel you get the most bang for your buck on a new project; solar design/site orientation and insulation. I thought I would get a little more in depth with the insulation component today. Endorsed product to insure you are getting a lower off-gassing product. Many architects out there, myself included, feel that the spray foam insulations are the cream of the crop. Keep in mind ...
