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 Meni's discussion How About an Energy Efficient Garage?

"Hm, "ways to make a garage more useful in decreasing one's energy footprint"... well, at risk of being really snarky, put the family car(s) inside and wall up the garage door. Maybe drain the gas tanks just to be on the safe…"

Ben Stallings replied to Jon LaMonte's discussion Any Experience with Radiant Barrier Bubble Wrap

"Installed in that location -- over the fiberglass batts -- I would be concerned about condensation on the bottom surface wicking into the fiberglass and creating mold habitat. I'd also be concerned that dust would accumulate on the top…"

Ben Stallings replied to Jon LaMonte's discussion Any Experience with Radiant Barrier Bubble Wrap

"Remember, a radiant barrier only reflects radiant heat. The fire test your brother in law did was the ideal test for that material, since essentially all the heat was radiant, but in an attic situation that's not the case. For the…"

Ben Stallings replied to Ross Jackson's discussion Radiant Barrier in the North?

"I'm in eastern Kansas, and I hung a radiant barrier from the attic rafters above part of my south-facing roof. The entire south-facing part of the roof gets equal sun exposure, and the whole attic has equal insulation. The part with…"

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. How about if you attached a zip tie to the bundle of wires on one side of the…"

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…"

"Here's a presentation I gave a while back -- feel free to copy slides from it: https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dgp4g6j2_1414nrjv4gx It was a kind of unusual situation, though, I was being asked to speak on a topic that was of interest…"
