Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Bean

In this engaging episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, host Eric Kaiser is joined by Robert Bean, an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer and a renowned expert on indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Together, they explore the intricate relationship between architecture, thermal comfort, and HVAC systems. Robert shares insights from his extensive travels, observations of traditional architecture, and key lessons from his work in designing high-performance buildings. The discussion highlights the critical distinction between energy efficiency and human comfort, emphasizing that discomfort often drives energy use. Robert explains foundational concepts like mean radiant temperature (MRT) and operative temperature and how they profoundly affect perceived comfort. He challenges common industry assumptions, such as relying solely on air temperature for thermal comfort, and advocates for a comprehensive approach that includes radiant, convective, and architectural solutions. Listeners will gain practical advice on incorporating IEQ principles into design, leveraging tools like the ASHRAE Standard 55 and Robert's free eBook, Thermal Comfort Principles and Practical Applications for Residential Buildings. The conversation concludes with a call to prioritize human comfort in every aspect of building design and operation.

It can interfere with your ability to perform physical activities, as well as impact your social and mental wellbeing. Fortunately, understanding the physiology of burnout is the first step in managing your stress and leading a healthier life.The most common symptoms of burnout include tiredness, irritability, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of motivation. It is believed that burnout is the result of a combination of excessive workload, lack of job control and low reward for performance, often compounded by shortages of resources, high pressure, challenging deadlines, and more. All of these can lead to physical, mental and emotional exhaustion.At a physiological level, burnout is characterized by increased levels of cortisol and adrenaline. Cortisol is a stress hormone that is released when an individual experiences increased levels of stress. As cortisol levels rise, they can increase blood pressure, heart rate and glucose levels, as well as decrease serotonin production. Decreased levels of serotonin, which is an important neurotransmitter, can lead to feelings of sadness and/or apathy.Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of burnout and its physical effects. The key lies in balancing stress levels with effective coping methods, such as regular exercise and healthy eating, getting enough sleep and relaxation, and seeking out social support. Additionally, you should make sure to take time off from the workplace, prioritize tasks, and manage your time wisely. Connect with Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque:InstagramThough I am a physician, this is not medical advice.

Robert Bean's Egg Bowl history is a good one, with two wins that might be the biggest in school history. Brian Hadad caught up with the former lockdown corner to look back at the historic 1998 and 1999 victories over Ole Miss.

If you stack up the greatest teams in Mississippi State history, you'd have to put the 1999 Bulldogs near the very top. Brian Hadad and Joel Coleman relive that special season, with some help from two Bulldog legends, Robert Bean and Wayne Madkin.

Robert Bean has noticed how the rest of the world has realized how much they need the arts. “All of a sudden, they’re starting to draw, play music,” Robert said. “I’ve seen the stuff that says, ‘You don’t support the arts? What are you doing right now? You’re reading books. You’re coloring. You’re doing all of these things.’ And I’m 100% behind that. We should be funding and supporting the arts, not letting them go or devaluing them.” Creatives haven’t been stopped by the limitations of social distancing, either, like Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, which used Zoom, a business tool, to create a music video for their song, Phenom, by pivoting in a matter of weeks. “To me, that’s the power of the arts and the creative brain,” Rober shared. “‘Okay, we get hit with this setback, but what do we do instead?’ It doesn’t just grind to a halt. They just go, ‘Okay. I’m gonna roll up my sleeves and I’m gonna figure out a different way to do this.’ And they get in there and do it. And I think that would benefit everyone so much more if we would fund and teach that kind of thing to everybody.” Read the rest at: https://hewandweld.com/news/ Find out more about Robert: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rbfineart/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RPBean Classes - https://www.arkansasartscenter.org/how-to-register Sustaining Craft is a passion project of Hew & Weld Writing.

Allison Bailes is writing a book! Allison writes the popular Energy Vanguard Blog. With a PhD in physics and thousands of hours spent in attics and crawl spaces, he knows a thing or two about houses. Join Kristof in a discussion with his old friend and colleague as they explore common myths about houses and talk about your next book purchase.Dr. Allison Bailes IIIWith a background in physics and nearly twenty years of experience in many facets of the residential buildings industry, Allison Bailes has a good handle on what’s wrong with residential buildings and how to fix them. In 2001, he built a high-performance home and launched himself into a new career in the world of building science. Since that time, he has worked as an HVAC designer, home performance contractor, regional manager for a green-building program, and building science trainer. For most of this new career, Dr. Bailes has run his own companies. Energy Vanguard, which he started in 2008, is his current firm.At heart, though, Dr. Bailes is a teacher. He taught high school science for three years prior to earning a PhD in physics from the University of Florida and then taught physics for six years at the college level after his graduate education. Since leaving academia, he has focused his teaching on the principles of building science. Through short presentations, workshops, and extended classes, he has helped thousands of people understand how buildings work.What Dr. Bailes is most known for is writing the Energy Vanguard Blog, which gets ten thousand page views per day. He also writes regularly for Green Building Advisor and has had articles published in Fine Homebuilding, The Journal of Light Construction, Home Energy Magazine, and other publications. Dr. Bailes is also popular speaker at conferences, presenting keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and extended workshops. In addition, he is a runner, a juggler, and a skier as well as having the honor of being perhaps the only man included in Who’s Who of American Women.The Book! A House Needs to Breathe...Or Does It?“Of course it doesn't. But the people in the house do! That's one of many myths I'll be exploding, along with lots of advice about how to do things right (and sometimes, how not to do them wrong). And with the coronavirus on everyone's mind now, one of the topics I'll be discussing is what's most effective at combating infectious microbes in your home...and what's not.My goal with this book is to make it one of the most informative and readable building science books in the world. I want people who live in homes - and that's almost everyone - to know how their homes work and what they can do to be more comfortable, have better indoor air quality, and save money on their energy bills.”Here's some of the advance praise I've gotten for the book:Dr. Bailes is my favorite writer in building science and HVAC design because of how he simplifies and explains complex topics. This book is sure to be a must read.~ Bryan Orr, Founder of HVAC School and host of their podcastI am stoked to share my excitement about the upcoming book, "A House Needs to Breathe." Manufacturers, distributors, trades, and design professionals need to get it right - right now. There's so much bad BS (building science) floating around, it needs to be sanitized before society moves into more bad houses. Dr. Allison Bailes, a designer's designer, will clean house with this one - a recommended must-read!" ~ Robert Bean (ret.), ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer, Mechanical and Building Construction EngineeringAllison Bailes makes the complex world of building science seem intuitive. He combines the penetrating analysis of a physicist with the flowing narrative of a storyteller. And the story he tells is about what your home can and should be doing to make your life better. You're going to want to read this book!~ Kristof Irwin, P.E., host of the Building Science Podcast“If you order this book, you'll get signed copies of the book.

Newsom Asks Medical Workers for Help To deal with an expected surge in hospitalizations for COVID-19, Governor Gavin Newsom is creating the California Health Corps and calling on healthcare workers who may have recently retired or are still in school to join the fight against the coronavirus. Reporter: Katie Orr, KQED California Nurse Heads to NYC to Help The effort to boost the state’s army of healthcare workers already faces competition from elsewhere. Last week, New York’s Governor, Andrew Cuomo, announced a very similar plan. And nurse Robert Bean from the town of Paradise has been deciding whether to help. Bean lost his home in the 2018 Camp Fire. Guest: Robert Bean, registered nurse Will Coronavirus Tenant Protections Really Help Renters? A lot of renters are wondering what help, if any, is coming their way as the coronavirus pandemic upends the economy and the household budgets of many Californians. All this just as we deal with shelter-in-place orders that are lasting longer than anyone ever could’ve imagined just a few weeks ago. Guests: Anna Scott, KCRW, and Erin Baldassari, KQED With Traffic Clear, Garcetti Closes Farmers Markets Mayor Garcetti made a series of announcements yesterday that give a glimpse into just how much daily life has changed. In his daily address on the city’s coronavirus pandemic plans, he named a new target in efforts to control overcrowding. Reporter: Saul Gonzalez, The California Report co-Host Trinity County to Non-Residents: Please Stay Out A handful of California’s counties have had no coronavirus cases so far and are keeping a close eye on the spread of COVID-19. Trinity County is going further with an unusual quarantine order.

Well, in the Marin County town of Mill Valley, people have taken to howling like coyotes every night at 8 o’clock.

In this episode, we discuss... 1) How he first became interested in nuclear engineering and what sparked his interest in academia 2) Robert’s post-graduate path to becoming an expert in radiation detection and how he became involved in designing nuclear facilities for safeguards 3) Robert reflects on his time in Washington as an advisor to the NNSA and how it brought him back to Purdue University as a full-time faculty member 4) A highlight of the Purdue University reactor and some of the current research projects utilizing the facility, including projects in physics and health science 5) Robert Bean explains some of the challenges of nuclear reactor deployment and potential benefits of building small modular reactors

The tables were turned for my first guest, supersonic podcast king Mark McCulloch AKA Mark McC - THE Food and Drink Marketer. Mark sat on the other side of the mic for a change as we talked about his 3 great loves; Food & Drink, Marketing & Music. Mark opens up on his Glasgow roots, the current UK restaurant scene, social media, mental health, Brighton and his musical heroes. Mark’s pedigree and trajectory is impressive; from early days at lastminute.com under the tutelage and influence of Martha Lane Fox and Robert Bean, via Pret A Manager, Yo! Sushi and Barclaycard, he was always destined for big things. A wonderfully engaging speaker, conference host and interviewer in his own right, Mark knows his stuff. Always with his finger on the pulse, whether in marketing, digital/social or music, Mark has a wonderful humility about him that belies his rockstar status. Perhaps his grandfather, Hubert’s wise words offer a clue as to why: “No one’s better than you and you’re better than no one. That’s always stayed with me” .

Welcome to the first episode of the the Focus, Purpose & Leadership podcast by Robert Bean. In this episode I talk to Adrian Hosford, previous director of CSR for BT. In it, we discuss the very basis of human communications, the genesis of the 'It's Good To Talk' campaign and how that reshaped a major corporate brand. As you will hear, his passion for the subject remains undimmed despite years passing and technology now leading us to communicate in so many different ways. Focus, Purpose & Leadership I decided to create this podcast because in my 40 year career in the advertising, communications and brand strategy worlds, I've come to learn about the fundamental importance of clarity and purpose. Or in my terms, the value of having a 'single organising principle, a principle that a business would live or die by that is single minded and focused and helpful in consistent decision making. In this series I'll be chatting to leaders who have put this into practice whilst developing their own successful businesses. Robert Bean Every business wants an elevator pitch. Sadly few have a truly compelling one. One that’s as motivating internally as it is meaningful externally. Businesses who own such a statement are better aligned, more focussed, more efficient and, ultimately, more profitable. Having worked with BMW and ‘The Ultimate Driving Machine’, Honda and ‘The Power of Dreams’, BT and ‘It’s Good to Talk’, Homebase and ‘Make a House a Home’ and many others, it’s clear to see the focus these statements have provided their owners. Robert is a strategic business consultancy that helps CEOs and Boards define and express their business’ most powerful proposition. In a single sentence. It’s called your ‘Single Organising Principle.’ Once articulated, we help bring it to life across the organisation’s culture, its products & services and reputation.

Robert Bean found himself stuck between needing a job that didn’t involve his craft, wanting to spend time with friends, and still being able to practice his art. “I have to practice, I have to draw, I have to create,” Bean said. “At the same time, I don’t want my life to be nothing but, I go to work, and then I come home and go to work. … I got creative and I said, ‘Well, what would happen if my friends were going out to dinner, or we’re going out to grab a beer or something--what happens I just take a sketch book with me?’ And so I started drawing on site. I started going out with friends and I would take a sketchbook and I would sketch while we were out. I do that all the time now.” Bean turned the idea into a class at the Arkansas Arts Center, Urban Sketchbook, where he also serves as the Painting & Drawing Department Chair of the Museum School. “I encourage my students, if you’re sitting around in the doctor’s office, take a sketchbook,” Bean advised. “Draw in the waiting room. If you’re sitting at the DMV, draw while you’re sitting there. Waiting for your car to get fixed, sketch. You can find the time to sketch. You can find the time to keep those drawing skills alive because we have a lot more dead time in our days than we realize. It’s the idea of developing those kinds of disciplines that eventually roll around into making money. Because as soon as you start to create enough, as soon as you start to draw enough, you build body of work. Once you build that body of work, then you can show it. It took me ten years of figuring things out. I do look back at that period in my twenties and go, what if I had that mentor when I was 21 years old that would come in and say, ‘You’ve got to do this and this and this’? Maybe I would have started to make money earlier, but I was in my late twenties before I started making money somewhat consistently with my work." -- Get more of Robert's work: Gallery 26 - http://www.gallery26.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rbfineart/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RBFineArt Website - http://www.rbfineart.com/ -- Sustaining Craft is a project of Hew&Weld Writing.

It takes more than a good HVAC system to deliver comfort.   In this episode of the Building HVAC Science podcast, Bill Spohn speaks with Robert Bean about the science of true human comfort. Some of his concepts are brutally logical and may cause you to rethink your approach to selling or delivering comfort. Find out what he calls “the pet rock” of construction.   Robert is a seasoned technologist, researcher and construction professional whose mantra is “Design for People; Good Buildings Will Follow.” Listen to his perspectives on code grade construction versus construction that delivers full environmental comfort. He states that a key element is to learn the language of comfort before exploring too far.   Robert will dialog with you for free via LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertbeanret/.
