Ben Stallings replied to Tom Strumolo's discussion Midwest energy professionals wanted"Hi, Tom. I'm in Emporia, Kansas. I'm curious what "well-financed movement" you're referring to."
Ben Stallings replied to Dennis McCarthy's discussion The growing need for lighting auditors.."Hi, Dennis. As usual, you whet my appetite, but I want more concrete details! Where can I learn about how to get trained as a lighting auditor? We had one here in my town, but he moved away, leaving an opportunity. Thanks in…"
Ben Stallings replied to Bob Blanchette's discussion Controlling heat gain/loss Through Windows"I've been very satisfied with the "thermal" curtains my wife and I bought when we bought the house... they are not high quality, just off-the-shelf from Target, but they are white on the outside side and opaque, with the result that…"
Ben Stallings replied to John Kelly's discussion Portable Drawing method"John Nicholas demoed a number of iPad apps for me the other day that he uses in the field. He uses DaVinci for floorplans, and the main thing it has going for it is that it's not really a drawing app... you enter a dimension…"

Ben Stallings replied to John Pitek's discussion Stopping Air Infiltration at Cable / Phone Line Entry"Gosh, that's a lot of wires. If there weren't quite so many, I'd suggest making a foam gasket so that each wire passed through its own hole.

Ben Stallings replied to Phil Hanneman's discussion Chimney condensation in attic"It seems to me the chimney is probably cold, being connected to the outdoors. So the moisture is coming from the surrounding air. If keeping moisture out of the surrounding air is not practical, I'd suggest insulating the chimney…"
