Lakisha Ann Woods is the executive vice president and CEO of the American Institute of Architects, a network of 94,000 architects and design professionals (in 200 chapters) who are committed to enhancing the built environment. Woods previously served as president/CEO of the National Institute of Building Sciences and as senior VP/CMO at the National Association of Home Builders. Architects are naturals at addressing complex or multifaceted issues, Lakisha says, and she points out that today that means addressing climate and equity as interconnected issues. She also talked about the AIA's  renovation of its HQ in Washington, a reuse project that involves numerous teams and high aspirations around embodied carbon, materials, and healthy workspaces. Lakisha is inspired by architects and their passion -- and the profession's increasing agency around climate and equity. Some of that comes from advocacy, she points out: “If we want our initiatives to move forward, we have to be an active voice in codes and on the Hill.”

Architect Wendy Brown talks about her 1894 Italianate house in Western Massachusetts that she and her husband have been working on for 24 years. Should we remove vinyl siding from these old houses once they've been covered and what are the challenges in doing so? What is Passive Survivability? About our guest: Wendy Brown is an architect located in western Massachusetts, licensed in Massachusetts and Vermont. She graduated from RPI with a Bachelor of Architecture degree, and a B.S. in Building Sciences. She got her first job drafting for a construction company during high school, and later worked for that same company after college. As a result, she prefers to use the Design-Build method for projects. Her work is focused on Passive Survivability, making decisions and choosing materials that enable buildings and communities to be more resilient in the face of climate change. Wendy and her family live in an 1874 house that was originally built for the owner of the local woolen mill. They have been renovating it since they moved in 24 years ago. When she has time, she also makes improvements to the other properties that her and her husband own, including her mom's old house which her daughter now lives in. ******************************************* Thanks so much for being with us this week.  Please see the episode enhancement for this and other episodes athttps://www.talkinghomerenovations.com/ ( talkinghomerenovations.com) Do you have feedback you would like to share?  Would you like to be a guest on the podcast?  Email me at thehousemaven@talkinghomerenovations.com If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends Don't forget to subscribe to the show and get automatic updates every Wednesday morning with the latest episode of Talking Home Renovations with the House Maven.   Clickhttp://eepurl.com/gFJLlT ( here) to get the episode enhancements sent directly to your inbox every week.

Give maybe a quick discussion of how you define this evolution and how companies can even be thinking about this technology today.11:42  So let's dive a little bit deeper with BIMM. We're already having challenges having BIM really move through that building lifecycle management. It seems like such an obvious choice to be able to have this standard move through your building process and be the source of truth in an as-built environment. So what is the challenge, and why aren't we seeing more adoption?17:58  Now, during our sponsor break, we got a look at your "interesting" water glass, can you show us and share the story behind that?26:15  If you could transport yourself 20, 25 years into the future, and if you could have any product or service that would make your life better or make you personally happy, what would it be and what would it do?

In the wake of the Champlain Towers South condominium building collapse, insurance companies are looking to tighten their underwriting requirements on Florida condo association policies.  Policy renewal premiums are expected to increase up to 25% for those that can't show a good building maintenance record.  While the commercial residential market tightens, Florida's homeowners insurance market is going through an upheaval of its own.  One insurance litigation reform measure passed into law is now coming into play in court: presuit settlements.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller talks with two professionals on the underwriting and legal side for their insight on market changes afoot and advice for insurance companies trying to navigate the changes.Show NotesThis Florida Insurance Roundup podcast covered two topics that have one thing in common: how to clamp down on rising premiums, rising costs, and excessive litigation expense.  Condominium Association Underwriting:Florida's commercial residential insurance companies are actively looking at how to avoid insuring another condominium building collapse or similar major catastrophe.  The Champlain Towers South collapse in June killed 98 residents in Surfside, Florida.  At least five other high-rise buildings in Miami-Dade County have since been partially or fully evacuated for being deemed unsafe.  Brian Squire, Managing Executive Senior Vice President at Hays Companies, a national insurance consulting agency, said there's a systemic issue at play with how condo buildings are maintained and how their associations are governed.  “You have a board of directors that make decisions on behalf of the association, but then the condominium association's governing documents allow its members to veto the board's decision.  These decisions made regarding the maintenance of these associations, on a lot of cases, are based on cost first, then life safety.  This mindset needs to change,” he said, noting there have been multiple associations who've had decisions levied against them recently.In the wake of the disaster, Surfside officials are moving up building recertifications for occupancy from every 40 years to every 30 years and requiring sign-off by both a structural engineer and a geotechnical engineer checking the foundation and subsurface soils.  But Squire insists the age of the building shouldn't be the sole factor.  “I've seen newly constructed buildings have issues similar to a Champlain Towers.  So we really need to wipe away the mindset that this is only needs to be applied to a 40 year building,” said Squire, who has been in the insurance business for 21 years and is based in the condominium-popular Destin, Florida.In his recent conversations with many insurance companies, Squire said there's many potential new underwriting requirements now under consideration.  They include:  More detailed on-site inspections of buildings annually; Requiring board of directors of buildings to sign affidavits, confirming there are no outstanding maintenance issues; Review of past board minutes; and  Review of condo association financial statements Among the solutions he suggested, is requiring engineering studies of all existing condominium buildings, pre-qualification of underwriting through insurance carriers, and possibly legislative changes.   Squire said associations should be proactive prior to policy renewal, too.  “What's going to make it look better is replacing or maintaining a roof and making sure that you have impact windows.  Those are really the two items that can easily be addressed,” he advised.Host Lisa Miller noted that the Building Officials Association of Florida recently held a summit to address structural safety issues and potential changes with other groups.  They included the International Code Council, the National Institute of Building Sciences, the Building Owners and Managers Association, and the Florida Bar's Condominium Law and Life Advisory Task Force.  Proposed legislation is being drafted as well for the Florida Legislature to consider in its January 2022 session.Presuit Settlements:The new presuit settlement law is part of SB 76, Florida's broader new property insurance reform law that took effect in June.  It requires that insurance companies receive a ten-day notice and demand before a lawsuit is filed by first-parties, such as homeowners or commercial building owners.  And it establishes how carriers need to respond.  Michael Monteverde, an insurance defense attorney with the Zinober Diana & Monteverde law firm, said the purpose was to allow insurance companies to resolve conflicts and reduce Florida's “out-of-control litigation.”  But he said some of the intended benefits haven't played out yet, including whether plaintiff attorney fees, a driver in expensive litigation, will ultimately be reduced.With the elimination of Florida's one-way attorney fee statute that encouraged inflated claims, the new law “creates more of a chess game, to try to get everybody to a place where there is a reasonable number,” said Monteverde, who manages the firm's Fort Lauderdale office.  “Because of the way that the fee provision kind of shifts under the new statute and SB 76, what the insurance carriers can do is they can set up the offers in response to the demands in a way that really kind of dares the plaintiff attorneys to reject the offer, because now we are setting up a situation where the fees are either limited or completely done away with and each party to bear its own fees and costs depending on what you are ultimately able to recover in the lawsuit.”He said the new law also takes away from the incentive for a plaintiff attorney to overly demand.  “So if you have a $70,000 case, there's no reason to come in and demand $600,000 to try to move the needle, because you may just be shooting yourself in the foot based on the way that the insurance carrier ultimately responds to that presuit demand,” said Monteverde, who appeared in a June podcast on how SB 76 works.Monteverde added that it seems most of the policyholder attorneys are trying to comply with the presuit notice requirement “and some of the results have been somewhat encouraging,” but there's confusion whether the law applies to actions filed after the effective date of the law (June 11, 2021) or the policy date.Monteverde also weighed-in on the condominium association underwriting issue, noting past catastrophes, such as hurricanes, have revealed that some associations are not keeping statutorily-required reserves for basic functions.  “If I were advising a carrier, I would say look at your underwriting processes, make sure that people are properly reserving, and make sure that the maintenance funds are going where they're supposed to be because they're turning the insurance policies in some instances into maintenance contracts.  And that's not what they are,” he said.“'Maintenance first' sounds like the theme of this podcast for those that are in the commercial residential space,” concluded host Miller.  “Having impact windows, making sure your roof is intact, and of course, consulting with your insurance professional.” Links and Resources Mentioned in this EpisodeBuilding Officials Association of FloridaSurfside's Ripple Effect (LMA Newsletter of July 12, 2021)Legislature to Review Condo Inspection Rules (LMA Newsletter of July 26, 2021)Insurance Impacts of the Surfside Collapse (LMA Newsletter of July 26, 2021)Who Will Insure Florida's High-Rise Condos?

In this podcast, I had the opportunity to talk with Christopher Doyle.  In this episode, you will hear about how Christopher thought outside the box to solve a problem that he noticed while working in the construction field. One of the greatest aspects of entrepreneurs is we find problems and create solutions for them.   In this episode, Chris will talk about the struggles he experienced and faced when it came to being limited with funding for construction jobs and how thinking outside the box, helped him scale and now, he has created a company to allow others to scale at higher levels. Tune in and let us know what you think... Who is Christopher Doyle? Christopher Doyle is an entrepreneur and business leader with extensive hands-on construction industry experience and a proven record of launching successful startups. He is. the founder, president and CEO of Billd, a disruptive payment solution for the construction industry that helps contractors and suppliers grow their businesses with less hassle and risk. Recognizing cash flow hurdles contractors face when purchasing materials, Doyle launched Billd to make traditional Wall Street working capital accessible to these small business owners. Doyle cut his teeth in the construction industry, framing houses in high school at age 16 and working his way through college at Texas A&M before beginning his career in residential and commercial construction. During this time, he not only developed into a project manager supervising sales and operations, he also developed a passion for launching new business operations, opening and leading new divisions of construction companies in Dallas, Austin and Houston, Texas. He went on to serve as director of solar operations for the Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS), delving into energy efficiency and renewable energy program management and authoring numerous publications on renewable energy financing, including launching National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) residential and commercial best practices. Recognizing Doyle as a renewable energy thought leader, the founders of lending company Dividend Solar (now Dividend Finance) tapped him to oversee their contractor operations and sales. Doyle's leadership and tireless work ethic helped the startup thrive and secure series A funding. He was a pivotal leader in Dividend's first three (3) loan securitization offerings totaling over $500M. While working with Dividend Finance, Doyle recognized how a lack of access to capital impacts contractors' ability to operate and grow their businesses. He was inspired to launch Billd, along with co-founder Jesse Weissburg, to bring traditional Wall Street access to capital to the construction jobsite, allowing contractors to bypass project hurdles with access to upfront funds while enabling suppliers to sell more materials and get paid up-front. For contractors who usually aren't paid until more than 90 days from purchasing materials, Billd provides 120-day terms so they can scale their business and stabilize cash flow. Doyle's technical certifications include Certified Energy Manager, Business Energy Professional, LEED AP O+M Certified, Solar PV Advanced 40 Hour (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners), Certified Building Envelope Analyst, Infrared Level 1 Thermography Certification, Green Advantage Certified for Commercial Buildings, and a Certified Auditor, Level 3 Installer, QAP – Air Barrier Association of America. He was a founding member of the Solar Access to Public Capital working group of the Solar Energy Industries Association, the Energy Services Coalition, the U.S. Green Building Council, and he is a board member of the Building Enclosure Council of the National Institute of Building Sciences. Doyle holds a bachelor's degree from Texas A&M University and an MBA from Rice University. He resides in Austin, Texas, with his two children. How to Connect with Chris?

This podcast features two key members of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1 Lighting Subcommittee that establishes lighting power density levels for this foundational standard.  The discussion reveals and explains to our lighting community a new project that is funded by ASHRAE, IALD, BC Hydro and the IES.  Project tasks will support the work of the 90.1 standard by providing AGI32 modeling runs by application.  These models will improve the accuracy of and strengthen the effectiveness of this and the other standards affected by 90.1.  It is a concern especially because LED luminaires are now being used as the primary baseline to establish LPD’s instead of traditional sources.  This has resulted in significant energy savings but there is an end game.  The partners want to verify that the quality of lighting is not impacted in future versions of 90.1 and the other standards that reference it. Michael Myer has been with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for 11 years. Prior to coming to PNNL Michael was a practicing lighting designer with Naomi Miller Lighting Design and before that Hayden McKay Lighting Design.
