This little chipmunk was busy today, insulating its home with leaves before winter sets in. I'm guessing that a thick layer of leaves would have about the same R-value as the foam insulation we use. We would be wise to get our winter insulating done now too.
Exterior wood window shutters over the course of history were not only aesthetically pleasing but provided a necessary function with their many uses.
They were used for security, provided privacy from outsiders passing by, added an extra layer of insulation during winter weather (with wood having a high R value) and blocked out the sun, preventing damage to furniture.
Louvered shutters allowed a breeze to enter a home, keeping the room cool on a hot summer day.
Earlier historic shutters were used for security in place of glass windows.
Shutters were either single board, or board-and-batten shutters (vertical wood slats) which were used on cottages and primitive buildings.
Solid raised paneled shutters then appeared and provided a lighter, more elegant look.
Fixed louvered shutters then came into use during the second half of the 18th century.
Historically, solid raised panel shutters were referred to as “shutters” while those with louvered shutters were called “blinds”.
20 May 2021: Yesterday it was announced that travelling within the EU should be possible this summer, but you will need the so-called the 'Digital Green Certificate', a document that proves you either have developed antibodies against coronavirus, received at least one dose of a corona vaccine or tested negative in a recent PCR test. Also, the member states supported a proposal by the Commission to relax entry restrictions for travellers from non-EU countries who are fully vaccinated with a Covid-19 vaccine authorised in the EU. Travel outside Europe will depend on individual countries, but a vaccination passport is bound to play a role there as well. Net-net, whilst all corona parameters are improving, we’re slowly returning the pre-corona way of living. The total number of COVID-19 patients in our country’s hospitals stands at 1,765. Of these 596 are on intensive care wards. During the week from 10 to 16 May an average of 2,087 people tested positive for coronavirus each day, a further fall of 30% on the previous week. The R-value or reproduction figure is now at 0.86, which means the epidemic continues to shrink. Meanwhile, Ghent is preparing to welcome tourists – Ghent, Belgium.
Edmonton's R Value: 0.80
The R value, also known as the reproduction number, describes whether COVID-19 cases are currently increasing, decreasing or staying the same. It tells us average number of people that someone with COVID-19 will infect.
I loaded up the car with the girl, the doggies, and some winter attire and we broke away from "tradition" for the weekend. Some Bighorns, some Black Hills, camping, snow, scenery, and in the end, I'm quite happy that I missed diving over bodies to get to a new flatscreen or video game console. So, this year, I'm most thankful for my little band of nomads and as always, the outdoors. Here's to whatever's around that next bend.

This mosaic was a pain to process. I originally captured the data in September 2020, but I struggled to find a way to combine the narrowband Ha stack as a luminance channel to the RGB data without having the [stars look weird](i.imgur.com/hqVhONg.png). Every now and then I'd fiddle with something, but it never worked out well. It also doesn't help that drizzled mosaics are *huge* files, with the final uncompressed image coming in around 2GB in size. Also ran out of disk space several times due to huge PixInsight swap files and an ungodly amount of fiddling with masks. Huge thanks to /u/jimmythechicken1 and his HaRGB workflow that he shared the other day (see below), wouldn't have been able to finish this image if it wasn't for your work! [I also made a starless version to better show off the faint nebulosity](i.imgur.com/g9npP7i.jpg) Captured over 5 nights from September 3-30th, 2020 from a Bortle 6 zone.

**Adding Ha to RGB:**
> I'm basically just copy/pasting Jimmy's workflow with some slight tweaks
- Start with a full broadband image in linear, combine RGB channels.
- Open Histogram Transformation Preview, preview and adjust stretch such that looks adequate for star color and broadband image color. Save this to the Pixinsight Desktop. This will be used later to stretch the NBRGB image
- Open PixelMath, use the formula Ha-A*(Red-med(Red)) with A being an arbitrary value to sufficiently blacken all stars but not removing any of the H-alpha structure. [Do the same for any other narrowband channels as well and name them appropriately, use Red for Sii and Blue for Oiii] Save this image as 'Subtracted_Ha'
- Duplicate 'Subtracted_Ha' and apply an STF to it, rename this copy to 'F'. This will be a scale factor.
- In a new Pixelmath instance, to combine the NB and BB, use the formula as follows
> R: Red + R\*(Subtracted_Ha\*F)
> G: Green
> B: Blue + (0.025\*R)*(Subtracted_Ha\*F)
> Symbols: R=[insert value, discussed in next step],
- The symbol associated with the scaling of the channel addition should be changed to taste. To preview image, STF preview should not be used, but rather the preview window from the Histogram Transformation previously saved off.
> in my case R=0.5 was the best R value
* PhotometricColorCalibration for the NBRGB image
**Nonlinear:**
* HistogramTransformation to stretch Ha and NBRGB images
* LRGBCombination to add Ha as luminance to color NBRGB image
> Getting a good star mask is CRITICAL for this step. I used a copy of the 'F' image above, modified with a stretch and convolution. This took a while to get right.
* SCNR Green
* Shitloads of CurveTransformations to adjust lightness, saturation, contrast, hues, etc.

WEEK 29 – TRUBeContinued (I)
While the bike racks we saw in our last photo from yesterday's set were lucky enough to still have a few bicycles in stock on them, these additional bike racks were completely devoid of product by the time of my May 15th visit – guess those were big sellers! I thought that the note printed on all those sheets of printer paper was kinda neat, too, the way that it starts out with “To 'R' Valued Customer”...

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

An insulated panel wall has been proven to have an R-value of 24. What happens to a panel wall when the weather gets cold and mean? Nothing, it retains its R-24 value. The foam in a panel is not compressed in any way, and it is sealed tight for the entire area of the panel. No gaps mean no cold air coming into the home, and no warm air leaving. This certainly helps you in having a cozy home design.

Update 167: COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta (Jan. 5, 4:45 p.m.)
Alberta’s COVID-19 immunization program is well underway. Albertans should continue to protect others by continuing to follow restrictions and reducing the spread of COVID-19.
Latest updates :
Over the last 24 hours, 843 new cases were identified.
There are 919 people in hospital due to COVID-19, including 140 in intensive care.
There are 13,411 active cases in the province.
To date, 91,799 Albertans have recovered from COVID-19.
In the last 24 hours, there were 26 additional COVID-related deaths reported: three on Dec. 27, three on Dec. 28, two on Dec. 29, two on Dec. 30, one on Dec. 31, one on Jan. 1, two on Jan. 2, four on Jan. 3, and eight on Jan. 4.
The testing positivity rate was 8.2 per cent.
To date, there was an increase of 10,301 tests (2,857,374 total) for a total of 1,671,264 people tested.
All zones across the province have cases:
Calgary Zone: 4,545 active cases and 35,757 recovered
South Zone: 257 active cases and 4,799 recovered
Edmonton Zone: 5,794 active cases and 39,241 recovered
North Zone: 1,311 active cases and 6,201 recovered
Central Zone: 1,431 active cases and 5,663 recovered
73 active cases and 138 recovered cases in zones to be confirmed
Additional information, including case totals, is online.
R values from Dec. 28 to Jan. 3 (confidence interval):
Alberta provincewide: 0.99 (0.97-1.01)
Edmonton Zone: 0.92 (0.89-0.95)
Calgary Zone: 1.02 (0.99-1.06)
Rest of Alberta: 1.06 (1.01-1.10)
There are currently 1,236 active and 6,075 recovered cases at long-term care facilities and supportive/home living sites.
To date, 784 of the 1,168 reported deaths (67 per cent) have been in long-term care facilities or supportive/home living sites.
COVID-19 immunization program
Vaccines are being administered across the province. As of Jan. 4, 26,269 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Alberta.
Alberta’s phased approach to vaccination focuses first on priority health-care workers and those who are at highest risk of severe outcomes. Eligibility will continue to expand as more vaccine arrives in the province and more doses are administered to those most at risk.
A comprehensive outreach program is reaching communities with high levels of COVID-19 spread in Edmonton and Calgary.
Upon referral by Alberta Health Services (AHS), people in these areas who test positive for COVID-19 are eligible for a free-of-charge hotel room stay of 14 days, complete with culturally appropriate food and temporary financial aid in the amount of $625, once they have completed their self-isolation.
In December, more than 290 Albertans accessed hotel rooms in order to isolate safely.
In response to increasing case numbers, enhanced public measures prohibiting social gatherings, requiring masking and restricting businesses and services continue to be in effect.
All indoor and outdoor social gatherings – public and private – are still prohibited.
All existing guidance and legal orders remain in place.
All travellers who have arrived from the United Kingdom and South Africa since Dec. 7 should immediately get a COVID-19 test, whether they have symptoms or not.
Travellers will be contacted directly by Alberta Health Services to book a test.
Also, travellers from the United Kingdom or South Africa who are participating in the border pilot must immediately quarantine, whether they’ve had a negative test or not. All returning travellers currently in quarantine must remain in quarantine for the full 14 days.
Rapid point-of-care testing has begun at long-term care and designated supportive living facilities in the Edmonton Zone using dedicated mobile testing centres.
Remote and rural hospitals in Alberta will receive rapid tests in late December and early January.
Rapid testing has already been expanded to homeless shelters and centres in Calgary and Edmonton.
The government has granted certain Alberta peace officers and community peace officers temporary authority to enforce public health orders.
Not following mandatory restrictions will result in fines of $1,000 per ticketed offence and up to $100,000 through the courts.
All Albertans are encouraged to download the secure ABTraceTogether app, which is integrated with provincial contact tracing. The federal app is not a contact tracing app.
Secure contact tracing is an effective tool to stop the spread by notifying people who were exposed to a confirmed case so they can isolate and be tested.
As of Jan. 5, 295,575 Albertans were using the ABTraceTogether app, 66 per cent on iOS and 34 per cent on Android. On average, 22 new users were registering every hour.
Secure contact tracing is a cornerstone of Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy.
Parents and guardians can access the COVID-19 test results for children under the age of 18 through MyHealth Records (MHR) as soon as they are ready.
As of Jan. 4, 494,545 Albertans have MHR accounts.
All Albertans, especially seniors and those at risk, are encouraged to get immunized against influenza.
More than 1,450,368 Albertans have received their flu shot.
Confidential supports are available. The Mental Health Help Line at 1-877-303-2642 and the Addiction Help Line at 1-866-332-2322 operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Resources are also available online.
The Kids Help Phone is available 24-7 and offers professional counselling, information and referrals and volunteer-led, text-based support to young people by texting CONNECT to 686868.
Online resources provide advice on handling stressful situations and ways to talk with children.
A 24-hour Family Violence Information Line at 310-1818 provides anonymous help in more than 170 languages.
Alberta’s One Line for Sexual Violence is available at 1-866-403-8000, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
People fleeing family violence can call local police or the nearest RCMP detachment to apply for an Emergency Protection Order, or follow the steps in the Emergency Protection Orders Telephone Applications (COVID-19).
Information sheets and other resources on family violence prevention are at alberta.ca/COVID19.

The Kwiki Locking Extension is offered as an extension to the Kwiki handle. This is required for situations where the damper assembly (manufactured with Kwiki sets) is installed in ductwork that has exterior insulation and allows for the handle to be spaced off the surface over the insulation so the insulation does not have to be cut back at the damper. If the insulation is cut back at the damper handle, the R-value will go down and there is a potential for condensation, etc.
Product comes 100 pieces to a case.

COVID-19 immunization program
Vaccines are being administered across the province. As of Jan. 4, 26,269 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Alberta.
Alberta’s phased approach to vaccination focuses first on priority health-care workers and those who are at highest risk of severe outcomes. Eligibility will continue to expand as more vaccine arrives in the province and more doses are administered to those most at risk.
A comprehensive outreach program is reaching communities with high levels of COVID-19 spread in Edmonton and Calgary.
Upon referral by Alberta Health Services (AHS), people in these areas who test positive for COVID-19 are eligible for a free-of-charge hotel room stay of 14 days, complete with culturally appropriate food and temporary financial aid in the amount of $625, once they have completed their self-isolation.
In December, more than 290 Albertans accessed hotel rooms in order to isolate safely.
In response to increasing case numbers, enhanced public measures prohibiting social gatherings, requiring masking and restricting businesses and services continue to be in effect.
All indoor and outdoor social gatherings – public and private – are still prohibited.
All existing guidance and legal orders remain in place.
All travellers who have arrived from the United Kingdom and South Africa since Dec. 7 should immediately get a COVID-19 test, whether they have symptoms or not.
Travellers will be contacted directly by Alberta Health Services to book a test.
Also, travellers from the United Kingdom or South Africa who are participating in the border pilot must immediately quarantine, whether they’ve had a negative test or not. All returning travellers currently in quarantine must remain in quarantine for the full 14 days.
Rapid point-of-care testing has begun at long-term care and designated supportive living facilities in the Edmonton Zone using dedicated mobile testing centres.
Remote and rural hospitals in Alberta will receive rapid tests in late December and early January.
Rapid testing has already been expanded to homeless shelters and centres in Calgary and Edmonton.
The government has granted certain Alberta peace officers and community peace officers temporary authority to enforce public health orders.
Not following mandatory restrictions will result in fines of $1,000 per ticketed offence and up to $100,000 through the courts.
All Albertans are encouraged to download the secure ABTraceTogether app, which is integrated with provincial contact tracing. The federal app is not a contact tracing app.
Secure contact tracing is an effective tool to stop the spread by notifying people who were exposed to a confirmed case so they can isolate and be tested.
As of Jan. 5, 295,575 Albertans were using the ABTraceTogether app, 66 per cent on iOS and 34 per cent on Android. On average, 22 new users were registering every hour.
Secure contact tracing is a cornerstone of Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy.
Parents and guardians can access the COVID-19 test results for children under the age of 18 through MyHealth Records (MHR) as soon as they are ready.
As of Jan. 4, 494,545 Albertans have MHR accounts.

Prior to the application of the Pacific Pattern on a QUANSA Hut style cabin. We increased the R-value and the walkability of the roof as well as creating a maintenance free scenario for the client.
Neil luckily took pics of the insulation...I did not...only this little bit in the master bath shows the BIBS (Blown-in-Blanket-System) insulation. Gives a higher R value R-23 instead of R-21) and because its blown in it fills all the cavities behind and around the plumbing & electrical.
I got an opportunity to analyze Hiro's image using the Zeiss 135mm F2 APO sonnar shot at F2.0
I used Pixinsight's Dynamic PSF to get an idea of the star shapes in a somewhat objective fashion.
I selected several stars from each of the image corners. This is usually a very severe test and hardly any lens I have used produces results higher than around 0.50 in r value. (the ratio of greatest length to smallest width)
The Zeiss produces results in excess of 0.80 everywhere on the frame, often even higher than 0.90.
The results at F2.0 interestingly aren't much worse, they are still in excess of .80 across much of the frame.
I compared this with an image from the Tak FSQ at F5. The result with the Tak was similar: just a smidge lower even! But the APO sonnar stars are much smaller as expected for an F2.0 scope.
Insulated siding is home siding that includes rigid foam insulation, fused behind the exterior surface of the wall, for the purpose of reducing energy consumption, increasing the insulation value of the wall system and improving the stability and appearance of the siding. Currently, insulated siding is commercially available as a type of vinyl siding.
Usage
Insulated siding is exterior cladding that features a rigid foam backing secured to vinyl siding, or placed behind the siding during installation.
One purported benefit of insulated siding is its ability to reduce energy transfer, which helps maintain the interior temperature of a home. Producers report an average R-value of 2.0 - 5.5, significantly more than that of other siding products including fiber cement, brick and stucco. Homeowners also report insulated siding serves as a noise barrier to external sound. Insulated vinyl siding with added fan fold foam board insulation raises the R-value to 3.5 - 7.5. Fan fold insulation is installed under the final siding product.
The expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) insulation allows for more impact resistance than traditional vinyl siding. The rigid foam-backed siding creates straighter sight lines, and prevents denting and bending, for a more wood-like appearance than traditional vinyl siding. For added strength, insulation and design, faux brick panels can be used on exterior walls.
History
Insulated siding was invented in 1992 by Ohio-based Progressive Foam Technologies, Inc. The company began marketing its product, Fullback Thermal Support System, in the United States as an improvement over traditional vinyl siding.
Initial versions of insulated vinyl siding were field-tested in Georgia. Between 1993 and 1997, design and process solutions were developed to improve the functionality and durability of the product. In 1997, one vinyl siding manufacturer launched the first full-scale commercialization of insulated vinyl siding. Between 1998 and 2003, most other vinyl siding manufacturers launched their own brands of insulated siding. Since 2003, product development and product line extensions have allowed insulated siding to experience consistent growth and recognition as a premium residential cladding.
Insulated siding is currently available from a variety of siding manufacturers including Alcoa Home Exteriors, Alside, Associated Materials, CertainTeed, Exterior Portfolio by Crane, Heartland Building Products, KP Building Products, Mastic, Mitten, Inc., Norandex/Reynolds, Gentek/Revere, RMC/Style Crest, Variform and Vytec.
Product Attributes
Environmental Impact
Described by developers as “green building”, insulated siding may be used by homeowners to make homes more environmentally friendly. By reducing energy consumption, insulated siding can reduce air pollution. Insulated siding has an industry system R-value range of 2.0 - 5.5. According to manufacturers, insulated siding is manufactured to last for 50 years or more, potentially reducing landfill contributions.
In addition to reducing energy consumption, manufacturers report that insulated siding is permeable or “breathable,” allowing water vapor to escape, which can provide protection against rot, mold and mildew and help maintain healthy indoor air quality. Some products also include an organic, non-toxic termite and insect repellant.
Specifications
Sizes will vary by manufacturer depending on the insulated siding application and range from 4–16 ft long with widths from 6-21 inches, depending on the profile.
Considered a pioneering category of products, the rigid foam insulation is made of a modified expanded polystyrene (EPS), which includes a brominated fire retardant called HBCD (hexabromocyclododecane) which promotes self extinguishing once removed from direct flame. The EPS used in insulated siding has a density of 1.0 lb/cu ft (16 kg/cu m). Depending on the siding profile, products range in thickness from 75mm to 200mm.
Durability
The rigid foam insulation fused behind the siding panel reportedly makes insulated siding more durable than traditional vinyl siding. The rigid foam backing is precisely fitted to the contours of the siding's exterior surface, preventing the vinyl component of insulated siding from sagging, warping or shifting. Manufacturers claim that insulated siding is not susceptible to distortions caused by freeze/thaw cycles. Contractors report that it creates straighter lines and lays flatter, making it more effective on irregular walls.
HIGH-R INSULATING WINDOWS DEMONSTRATION.
RESEARCH SCIENTISTS AT LAWRENCE BERKELEY LABORATORY'S APPLIED SCIENCES DIVISION HAVE DEVELOPED PROTOTYPE "SUPER- WINDOWS" CAPABLE OF RESISTING HIGH-LEVELS OF HEAT LOSS. THIS PHOTOGRAPH DEPICTS A DEMONSTRATION OF VARYING LEVELS OF R-VALUES FOR WINDOWS. AN R-VALUE MEASURES A WINDOW'S RESISTANCE TO HEAT LOSS. THE HIGHER THE R-VALUE, THE GREATER THE RESISTANCE. THE DEMONSTRATION UTILIZES A FREEZER TO SIMULATE OUTDOOR WINTER CONDITIONS OF 5 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. A "SUPERWINDOW'S" R-VALUE IS RATED AT 7, CREATING A HIGHER INSIDE GLASS SURFACE TEMPERATURE. "SUPER-WINDOWS" INCLUDE SUCH FEATURES AS: 1. TRIPLE-LAYER DESIGN (ONE LAYER MAY BE EITHER GLASS OR A PLASTIC FILM), 2. LOW- EMISSIVITY COATINGS - VERY THIN LAYERS OF METALLIC OXIDES THAT REFLECT HEAT BACK INTO THE HOUSE, AND 3. A LOW- CONDUCTIVITY GAS, SUCH AS KRYPTON OR ARGON, SEALED BETWEEN THE LAYERS - ALL ONLY AN INCH THICK AND MOUNTABLE WITHIN CONVENTIONAL FRAMES.

My Osprey Aether 85, stuffed as full as I have ever had it. I don't think this is the heaviest I have ever packed it, but boy was I running out of room.
On this trip I learned I can save space by packing my new (from last year) down sleeping bag (the first I have ever owned) in a small compression sack. A heavy down jacket I purchased in 2009 for my Mt Rainier climb, but have never used, can also be compressed smaller.
The large and heavy Therm-a-Rest ToughSkin pad (a discontinued model that features a higher R value) proved to be superfluous: a summer pad combined with the Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite pad I carry everywhere for a seat proved to be more than adequate sleeping insulation.
The snow stakes were used to secure the tent fly.
St Joseph Catholic Church, Sea Isle NJ, is in the middle of an expansion project four times larger than the existing St. Joseph church, which was built in 1884. The 126-year-old church, which has a 225-seating capacity, is too small. The parish sometimes needs three locations to hold Sunday Mass during the summer.
The new expansion will be 1,300-seat capacity facility that will be erected alongside the current church, and the buildings will be connected.
Hunter Panels provided 4.5" Cool-Vent Roof. This is a perfect solution for steep-slop roofing such as on this church. Cool-Vent, a rigid insulation panel composed of polyisocyanurate foam core, is manufactured as a ventilated nailbase roof insulation panel. The steep-slope insulation board offers sustainable thermal insulating characteristics while also allowing air circulation within the roof assembly. A standard 1-inch air space permits airflow in all directions to give improved cooling and ventilation; this ventilation space helps reduce moisture vapor and heat build-up. Cool-Vent extends the life of the roofing system by nature of it's design. The polyiso insulation base provides the highest R-value per inch of any insulation panel.

New Building on the MDIBL campus designed and built to accommodate the growing number of researchers flocking to the site each year uses Hunter Panels for green roof.
Roof Installer: Roof Systems, Main
July 2008: The new, 18,000-square-foot building officially opened
2009: Awarded "Gold" LEED Building Certification
Roof Details:
Roof Systems used 7,800 square feet of Hunter’s insulation products to the 8,700-square-foot shingled portion of the building’s roof. They began by laying down a four-inch layer of standard polyiso over top of the lab’s 22-gauge steel roof deck. Next they installed a four and one half inch layer of Hunter’s innovative H-Shield-NB, staggering the seams from the first layer to reduce thermal bridging and further increase the rooftop’s overall energy efficiency. Consisting of a four-inch layer of polyiso laminated to a heavy-duty, 5/8-inch piece of oriented strand board, H-Shield-NB eliminates the need to install an additional nailer on top of the insulation before attaching the finished roofing material.
Hunter’s four-inch polyiso provides an R-value of 25, while the four and one half inch H-Shield-NB offers an additional R-value of 25.6. Combined, the two layers of insulation created a rooftop with an R-value of over 50, more than enough to help the laboratory reduce its heating and cooling costs.
Besides energy efficiency, Hunter’s polyiso also features other properties that make it good for the environment and good for the lab. The H-Shield NB used for this project featured OSB that was certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging responsible management of the world’s forests. Lumber with the FSC label, such as the OSB used on the laboratory’s rooftop, was harvested in a sustainable manner with little impact on the environment.
Other sustainable attributes of Hunter’s polyiso include a manufacturing process that features zero ozone depleting potential (ODP), is CFC-free and meets all applicable EPA standards. Hunter’s polyiso also features an FM Class 1 uplift rating and UL Class A fire rating, resulting in a rooftop that provides superior protection against anything Mother Nature has to offer.
In order to fasten the insulation to the rooftop, Roof Systems utilized specialized 10-inch fasteners developed specifically for use with Hunter’s H-Shield-NB, Cool-Vent™ and Cool-Vent II. The fasteners offer increased pullout resistance and are FM approved. They do not require the use of washers or fastener plates, which reduces costs and speeds up installation. The 10-inch screws were installed through the H-Shield-NB and standard polyiso and attached to the building’s metal decking.
After all of the insulation was fastened to the deck, Roof Systems installed a layer of ice and water shield over the entire roof surface and then covered it with a 50-year asphalt shingle. They completed the roof installation by installing a 24-gauge, white, Kynar-coated flashing material that provides a long-term finish and increases the sustainability of the entire project.

The colouring in the windows of the Centre for Green Cities comes from both the coatings on the glass and the "heat mirror" film between the panes, which makes the glazing have an R value of 8 - very high for any window type.
Guest bedroom exterior wall. The camera is actually sensitive enough that the studs (which have a lower R value than the insulation) show through the wallboard.

This project provides independent senior housing in an urban location served by a new light rail streetcar line.
The project replaces an existing HUD 202 in downtown Tucson with a new tax credit financed senior apartment building. It will provide 143 one bedroom apartments which will be occupied by low income seniors from the original project. The site is west of downtown Tucson, in the Rio Nuevo Redevelopment District. With assistance from the City of Tucson, the building will provide the first major residential building for the new district. With its access to public transit, local markets, and nearby walking areas, the New Armory Building will provide a true model for urban residential living for low income seniors.The redevelopment district will meet LEED for Neighborhood Development standards, which will require the project to be LEED Silver.
The building will employ insulating concrete blocks to provide extremely high R values, and will offset 75% of the common area electrical loads using roof mounted photovoltaic panels. HVAC units will be 16 SEER or greater, and additional filtration will be provided for all outside air intakes. Landscaping will employ drip irrigation, low water use native plants, and passive water harvesting. Recycled materials, low VOC paints, and sustainably harvested woods are further examples of LEED requirements that will be implemented into the building’s design
