We're joined by our new friends from Building Atlas, Nick Taylor and Olga Khroustaleva, who join us for a conversation about commercial retrofit—the non-residential kind. They've got a data driven business Building Atlas that helps commercial asset owners to plan pragmatic retrofit pathways for commercial real estate.This isn't just important because of how much energy the non-residential sector consumes, it's also because 70% of non-residential building assets are on course to become stranded assets because of their EPC rating and MEES regulation.They are simplifying a complex problem into something that's comprehensible—aggregating experience (and data) to give broad brush stroke direction that's useful. They've also published a paper about retrofit strategy for commercial buildings: The Beauty in Boring Buildings: The Business Case for Retrofit Beyond Flagship Assets.Notes from the showNick Taylor on LinkedIn Olga Khroustaleva on LinkedIn The Building Atlas website Their recent paper — The Beauty in Boring Buildings: The Business Case for Retrofit Beyond Flagship AssetsUK Government MEES guidance — Non-domestic private rented property: minimum energy efficiency standard - landlord guidance**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

In this episode: Faw Casson will close early on August 8 for their annual all-office beach day—a fun family tradition showing the firm's strong culture and appreciation for its people. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) includes impactful updates for businesses and individuals—this episode dives into the lesser-known but highly relevant changes. C Corporation charitable donations are now subject to a 1% floor—but strategic business advertising can provide a workaround. Bonus depreciation is back at 100%, but with quirky timing: Section 179 may still be a smarter choice for some assets, depending on your purchase date. Business interest expense limitations now revert to using EBITDA instead of EBIT, a favorable shift for many larger companies. The adoption credit becomes refundable (up to $5,000), but only starting with the 2025 tax year. Opportunity zone reinvestment rules are extended and sweetened: You can now defer capital gains for five years and eliminate tax on appreciation if held for 10. The employer-provided child care credit jumps to 40%, with the cap increasing to $500,000—a major incentive for businesses with space to spare. Farmers selling farmland to other farmers can now spread capital gains tax over four years. 529 plans can now be used for more types of education expenses—distribution limit rises from $10,000 to $20,000 starting mid-2025. Several energy credits and deductions are expiring after 2025, including: Clean vehicle credit (for EVs acquired after 9/30/25) Residential solar and geothermal energy credits Home energy improvement deductions (like windows, doors, and water heaters) Wagering loss deductions will be limited to 90% of gambling income starting in 2026—another subtle but impactful change. The firm is offering free educational sessions in August to help business owners prepare for these tax law changes—one in Lewes (Aug 6) and one in Dover (Aug 12), with virtual access available.

Unmatched Resources (at Zero Cost): From SizeUp Delaware (a free business analytics tool) to statewide partners like the SBDC, SCORE, and Main Street programs, you'll hear how the Division connects entrepreneurs to powerful support systems.

With the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, also known as the Big Beautiful Bill, significant changes are coming to both solar panel and electric vehicle tax credits.  I break down what these changes mean, how they can affect your savings, and what steps you might want to take before these credits disappear. From figuring out if solar panels make sense for your home to understanding how electric vehicle credits work (and when they're expiring), this episode is packed with actionable insights and tips, especially for those planning for retirement or looking to cut down on monthly expenses. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [01:31] Residential solar panels are popular for reducing electric bills, offering significant savings, especially for retirees. [05:23] Solar tax credits are expiring soon. [09:07] Solar investments offset electric costs and protect against future rate hikes, beneficial long term. [11:28] Costs and break-even of electric cars. [13:08] Act now if you want to take advantage of solar tax credits. The Solar Panel Tax Credit is a Fading Opportunity One of the biggest draws for homeowners considering solar panels has been the significant federal tax credit, currently set at 30% of the total installation cost. This credit has made solar an appealing investment for many, offering a direct dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes owed. In high-cost electricity states like Connecticut, this can mean hundreds of dollars in monthly savings on your utility bill. However, the Big Beautiful Bill brings an unfortunate change: the solar tax credit is set to disappear at the end of this year. That means if you've been thinking about going solar, now is the time to act. If you don't install solar panels before the deadline could add years to your payback period, undermining the investment's attractiveness and putting it out of reach for many. Energy Savings of Battery Storage and EVs While solar panels are great for energy savings, adding a battery storage system further enhances their benefits. A battery can store excess solar power for use during peak times or outages, which is particularly helpful for retirees planning to stay in their homes for decades and looking to insulate themselves from rising electricity rates. Electric vehicles (EVs) also offer savings for households with high transportation costs. The federal EV tax credit, worth up to $7,500 on new cars and up to $4,000 for used EVs, has also been a strong motivator for those considering a switch from gas-powered vehicles. The Big Beautiful Bill also changes the EV tax credit, which will disappear even sooner than the solar incentive. Although there are several important limitations: only vehicles assembled in North America qualify, and there's a cap on purchase price ($55,000 for sedans, $80,000 for SUVs). Income limitations apply as well; single filers must earn less than $150,000 ($300,000 for married couples) to claim the new vehicle credit. The used EV credit comes with lower income caps ($75,000 for singles, $150,000 for couples) and is worth up to $4,000.  Should You Act Now?  Before making any big investment, think about the following: Timing: Both solar and EV credits will soon vanish. If you want the tax break, don't wait. Financial Health: The best return comes from paying cash, not financing or tapping retirement accounts. Long-term Plans: Solar and EV investments make the most sense if you plan to stay in your home and keep your vehicle for years to come. Manufacturers may eventually lower prices as credits disappear, but there are no guarantees. With energy incentives set to change dramatically, the window to maximize savings is closing fast. For homeowners and future retirees, the time to act is now, whether that means installing solar, purchasing an EV, or both. Consult with a financial advisor to consider how these decisions fit into your overall retirement and financial readiness strategy. The Treasury Department's official list of eligible vehicles shows that the cars, trucks, minivans, and SUVs listed below qualify for a full $7,500 tax credit if placed in service between January 1 and September 30 of 2025.   In some cases, only certain trim levels or model years qualify. More vehicles may be added to or removed from this list as manufacturers continue to submit information on whether their vehicles are eligible.

The strike that had trash piling up on the streets of Philadelphia is over. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

This episode of Convo By Design is scheduled for the week of July 8th, 2025. Intentionally so we can begin thinking about what's coming. It's hard to forget trauma, like what we saw in Pacific Palisades and Altadena earlier this year. But not impossible. Traditionally, “fire season” in California begins in August and ends around the end of October. Over the decades, there has been a creep into July, then June on the front end and then into November and December on the back end. Sadly, now, there is no longer a fire season, only an ongoing threat. Part of a recent California tour that started in the Bay Area and ended in Pasadena, I got an earful, and, because the mics are always on, so will you.  In this special episode, you're going to hear an extraordinary panel conversation in its entirety—one that explores the very real and immediate design challenges and opportunities facing architects, builders, designers, and manufacturers when creating residential projects in fire-prone areas. This conversation was recorded live and it's one of the most practical, informative, and emotionally resonant discussions we've had about fire-resilient design. This was recorded live from Golden State Lumber in Concord, CA. It features amazing professionals from design, landscape design and architecture. We have industry insiders and those on the front lines, literally. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise.

Listen for how the professionals on the panel are redefining “resilience”, not as a post-disaster reaction, but as a forward-thinking design responsibility. There's discussion about the emotional component—how clients are now asking for homes that not only reflect their aesthetic desires but also protect their families and investment. You'll hear the beginnings of a common theme: that collaboration across disciplines—architecture, landscape, materials, policy—is essential to progress. Materials, Methods, and Design Strategy This section dives into the specific building systems and material choices that can help defend a home against wildfire. Pay close attention to the comparisons between wood vs. non-combustible materials, and the increasing use of metal roofs, cementitious siding, and Class A-rated assemblies. There are valuable insights into decking, fencing, vents, and eaves—often overlooked but critical components in fire resistance. The discussion touches on building codes and certifications, and how understanding these nuances can inform smarter material selection and design detailing. Design Solutions in Action This is where we get into real-world case studies. Panelists share examples of how they've adapted fire-resilient strategies in current projects and how clients are responding to new realities. Listen for examples of reimagining exterior spaces—gravel moats, Mediterranean-inspired gardens, and drought-tolerant landscapes that are also fire-resistant.

An Auckland councillor is on a mission to ground helicopters taking off and landing in residential areas for good. It follows multi millionaire Auckland couple, entrepreneur Anna Mowbray and former All Black Ali Williams recently getting approval for a helipad at their waterfront Westmere home. Three independent commissioners approved the resource consent application with some concessions, including a maximum of two flights day and 10 flights per month between the hours of 7am and 10pm. They concluded as per previous decisions; the use of helicopters in residential areas is a permitted activity under Auckland Unitary Plan. But one councillor wants these rules amended. Councillor Mike Lee spoke to Lisa Owen.

Electric Ireland's new annual Sustainability Index will track consumer attitudes and perceptions towards energy efficiency technologies. Findings from the inaugural Electric Ireland Sustainability Index show that: Almost three-quarters of solar panel owners cited cost savings as the primary benefit, with an average monthly saving of €91 on energy bills 60% of heat pump users highlighted enhanced home comfort as the key advantage, alongside cited average savings of €77 per month Almost three-quarters of EV charger owners also identified cost savings as the main benefit, reporting average monthly savings of €128 59% of respondents cited lack of money as the main barrier to adopting energy-efficient products Over three-in-four consumers expressed interest in an app to monitor electricity usage, while 65% want the ability to sell electricity back to the grid Energy Upgrades can drive savings Electric Ireland's new 2025 Sustainability Index reveals Irish homeowners who have adopted energy-efficient technologies such as solar panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicle (EV) home chargers are reporting notable financial savings and improved home comfort. However, a significant portion of the population feel unable to invest in these new technologies due to the upfront costs and a lack of clear guidance. Financial and Comfort Benefits Among survey respondents, 13% reported having solar panels already installed, 11% had heat pumps, and 7% had EV chargers. These respondents noted the clear cost benefits of these new technologies - those with solar panels reported perceived savings averaging €91 per month on energy bills. Those with a heat pump said they saved an average of €77 per month, while respondents with an EV charger reported average savings of €128 per month on fuel costs. While financial savings were listed as the leading benefits of these products, some respondents also cited various additional benefits including more comfortable homes (60% of heat pump owners), convenience (46% of heat pump owners), and a lower carbon footprint (48% of EV charger owners). Barriers to Adoption Despite the clear benefits, the Electric Ireland Sustainability Index also shows that willingness to make the switch to more energy-efficient technologies remains low beyond the early adopters. For those who have yet to make any home energy efficiency upgrades, few have active plans to do so: just 22% of respondents are considering solar panels, 18% are considering solar battery systems in the near future, and even fewer plan on installing heat pumps (12%) or EV chargers (12%). The most commonly cited barrier is cost, with nearly six in ten (59%) saying the associated upfront cost was a key deterrent. "What Electric Ireland's new Sustainability Index reveals is that the long-term benefits of more energy efficient technologies are clear - but the upfront costs can be challenging" noted Noeline Gibbons, Head of Residential, Electric Ireland. "In Ireland, the average cost of a solar PV system is between €8,000 and €10,000. With SEAI grants available, most households see a return on investment within four to six years. Many customers say they are saving on average around €90 a month, and many are noticing reductions in their electricity bills straight away. While sustainable products and energy upgrades do require an upfront investment, there are immediate benefits in savings and comfort. However, we are acutely aware that many families and individuals want to start the energy transition but struggle with upfront costs and a lack of information. At Electric Ireland, we are working to ensure all homes can access the right information and guidance on the products they need, and to support people on their sustainability journey so they can make the most sustainable choice that is feasible for them." Interest in Energy Efficiency Beyond cost concerns, others report that the process of accessing grants feels like too much hassle, or that they are unsure if the in...

We are releasing today on our podcast show a repurposed webinar that we produced on June 11, 2025 entitled “What is happening at the federal agencies that is relevant to the residential mortgage and settlement service industries.” During this podcast, we will inform you about recent developments at federal agencies, including the CFPB, HUD/FHA, OCC, FDIC, FRB and USDA (collectively, the “Agencies”), as well as Congress, the White House, states and the courts. Some of the issues we consider are:   •     Changes in leadership and priorities at the CFPB, as well as efforts to significantly reduce the funding and staffing at the CFPB and related lawsuits. •     House Republican criticism of various CFPB actions under former Director Chopra. •     The rescission and revisiting of CFPB final rules, proposed rules and informal guidance, including the Nonbank Enforcement Order Registry final rule, Residential Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing final rule, Residential Mortgage Servicing proposed rule, and FCRA “Data Broker” proposed rule. •     The termination of CFPB enforcement efforts and revisiting of CFPB redlining consent orders. •     The rescission of Community Reinvestment Act rule amendments. •     The White House directive for the federal government to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability. •     The status of the HUD disparate impact rule under the Fair Housing Act. •     HUD's reversal of various FHA policies adopted during the Biden Administration, including guidance regarding appraisal bias and reconsideration of value. •     Trigger leads bills. •     White House firings of independent agency board/commission members and efforts to exert control over independent agencies. •     State efforts to fill the void left by the actions at the CFPB.   John Socknat, co-head of our Consumer Financial Services Group, moderated and participated in the presentation, along with the following other members of the Consumer Financial Services and Mortgage Banking Groups: Richard Andreano, Jr., John Culhane and Matthew Morr.

A local activist group, Rooted in Littleton, recently conducted a survey of more than 1,000 Littleton voters about housing density — and found that 49% of those polled think the city is in a housing shortage. But that same survey found that more than half of respondents oppose increasing housing density. Kyle Schlachter, the mayor of Littleton, took the survey himself, and has a lot of thoughts about preserving the charm of Littleton while making sure people have access to housing. He joins host Bree Davies to talk about the city's current approach to “gentle density”, what could happen if Rooted in Littleton's current petition to change land use makes it to the ballot in November, and what the effect of “protecting single family residential zoning” could have on the future of this suburb.For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.Follow us on Instagram: @citycastdenverChat with other listeners on reddit: r/CityCastDenverSupport City Cast Denver by becoming a member: membership.citycast.fmWhat do you think?

Navigating Risk, Noise, and Uncertainty: Barry Ritholtz on Investing in a Volatile World   In my conversation with Barry Ritholtz, chairman of Ritholtz Wealth Management and host of Bloomberg's “Masters in Business” podcast, we explored market and real estate cycles, caution, and capital allocation in today's increasingly unpredictable economic environment. Below are the most actionable and provocative takeaways for real estate investors, both passive and professional, drawn from Barry's decades of lessons and market observations.   Origins of Insight: From Blog to Bloomberg Ritholtz didn't set out to run a multi-billion-dollar firm. What started as daily trading notes eventually evolved into a blog, a book, Bailout Nation, and a platform that positioned him to correctly call both the top and bottom of the 2008 financial crisis. This journey, grounded in curiosity and behavioral finance, shaped the contrarian and data-driven approach he still employs today.   "I just wanted to know why some people made money while others didn't doing the same thing."   The 2008 Playbook: Behavioral Edge Over Economic Models Ritholtz attributes his early warning of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to non-traditional thinking and real estate roots (his mother was a real estate agent). Observing abnormal refinancing activity and "cash-out mania" led him to investigate securitized debt and derivative risk, well before it was mainstream.   He reverse-engineered risk from Reinhart & Rogoff's crisis research and famously predicted the Dow's decline to ~6,800—earning mockery initially, then vindication.   Echoes of 2008? Why This Time Feels Precarious While he stops short of predicting a crisis, Ritholtz allows for a 10–15% probability of a self-inflicted depression – a worst-case scenario rooted not in structural weakness, but political mismanagement.   “It [is an] asymmetrical risk to take one bullet, put it in a six shooter, spin the wheel, and put it up against your head with a $28 trillion economy.”   From tariffs to immigration policy to fiscal gamesmanship, Ritholtz sees signs that the U.S. may be eroding the long-standing trust that underpins reserve currency status and global capital flows.   Cash Isn't a Plan, Discipline Is When asked whether it makes sense to sit in cash and wait out the next downturn, Ritholtz counters with behavioral caution. Historically, those who “go to cash” rarely reenter at the right time and often miss the rebound entirely.   “If you're going to sit out in cash, do you have the temperament, the discipline to get back in?” Instead, he recommends building resilience: modest leverage, long-term focus, and capital efficiency – hallmarks of legends like Sam Zell, who Ritholtz holds up as a model of disciplined real estate investing.   A Word on Leverage: Use with Extreme Care High leverage is the common thread in stories of ruin. Ritholtz referenced the downfall of the Peloton CEO, who borrowed heavily against inflated stock. The same caution applies to over-leveraged real estate investors, especially those who haven't endured a full cycle.   “Market crashes are where capital returns to its rightful owners.”   For CRE sponsors, now is the time to refinance where possible, preserve cash, and maintain flexibility, even if that means lower IRR projections.   How to Filter the Noise: Create an Information Diet Ritholtz emphasized the need to tune out “financial candy from strangers” – the firehose of social media, Substacks, and hot takes by unvetted commentators.   “They don't know your zip code, your goals, your tax bracket. Why would you trust them?” He recommends identifying a shortlist of credible voices with defined, rational processes and a record of sound judgment. “Build your A-Team,” he advises. “Then ignore the rest.”   Real Estate Today: Not Monolithic, but Multifaceted Unlike equities, real estate behaves very differently depending on location, asset class, and capital structure. While some sectors (e.g., Class B office) remain distressed, others (e.g., data centers, multifamily in select markets, industrial) are faring relatively well.   “Literally, there are properties [Zell] held for half a century. He was long term… used modest amounts of leverage, and he bought great properties at even better prices.”   Ritholtz warns against painting real estate with a broad brush and urges nuanced thinking about cycles, risk-adjusted return, and operator quality.   Sentiment vs. Signals: What to Watch Now While he downplays the predictive power of investor sentiment, Ritholtz monitors: Three-month moving averages of non-farm payrolls Rounded tops in S&P earnings trends Residential real estate supply conditions in key metros Dollar strength (as a proxy for confidence and capital flows) “If the dollar keeps falling and supply starts rising in housing markets, it's time to pay attention.”   Dollar, Debt, and the Doomsayers Ritholtz is blunt about the debt debate. He finds most public discourse alarmist and often wrong. With the U.S. still enjoying reserve currency privileges, he sees no imminent collapse but warns against complacency.   “We've been hearing the deficit will destroy America for 50 years. It hasn't. But bad policy could.”   He is more concerned with underinvestment in infrastructure and human capital than with rising debt levels per se.   Closing Counsel for Investors For those sitting on fresh capital, say $1 million, Ritholtz advises: Clarify your goals (retirement, education, housing). Max out tax-advantaged accounts. Build a core of low-cost index exposure. Don't chase alpha before securing beta. Avoid overcomplexity: “Two dozen funds is not a portfolio.” His parting message? Discipline beats prediction. And humility is a superpower.   Final Thought “Everyone is faking it to some degree. The real danger isn't what you don't know – it's not knowing what you don't know.”   In an age of volatility and noise, Ritholtz's framework stands out: stay informed, stay skeptical, and invest like risk is real – because it is.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

In this episode of The Industrial Real Estate Show, Chad Griffiths welcomes returning guest Deren Huang, an industrial investor based in Tulsa. The interview kicks off with a fun lightning-round game where Deren challenges Chad to blindly rank various investments (from gold and Bitcoin to Olive Garden leases and drive-thru wedding chapels). The playful setup leads to insightful discussions about risk tolerance, asset classes, and how personal experience and logic influence investment preferences. Chad consistently favors predictable, scalable investments like the S&P 500 and industrial real estate, while expressing skepticism about novelty concepts and collectibles like vintage guitars.The conversation then shifts into a deeper dive on Darren's evolution from owning over 100 single-family homes to now managing over 200,000 square feet of industrial real estate in Tulsa. He shares candid lessons from early mistakes (such as overvaluing clear height at the expense of location and functionality) and emphasizes key attributes like geometry, site coverage, and access. Darren outlines his buy-box, investment strategy, and how he creatively financed properties during volatile interest rate shifts. He also discusses his transition from residential to industrial, the operational benefits of triple net leases, and his plans to pursue infill development. The interview closes with thoughtful advice to aspiring investors: start by learning the fundamentals, get to know your local market, and always remember that even in commercial real estate, you're still dealing with people.Connect with Deren:Website: https://www.derenhuang.com/tulsaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derenhuang--
