If you are designing or building a multifamily project, why not specify or build with a material that can save the design professional, the builder, and the developer time and money?
I was involved with the Sarann Knight project, which is a four-story apartment complex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The developer, Community Development Programs Center of Nevada (CDPCN) used our 6” SIPs for all of the exterior walls on all four levels. And all of these SIP walls are load bearing and self-supporting.
• SIPs reduce energy consumption
• Easier to become Energy Star Compliant
• Reduced construction time
• Reduced job site waste and dumpster removal
• End up with a durable, long-lasting building
CDPCN owns and operates this apartment complex; therefore, the heating and cooling bills are paid by the developer. Heating and cooling costs constitute a significant portion of the operating budget in the hot Las Vegas climate…one of the reasons CDPCN chose to build with energy-efficient SIPs! Building on the efficiency of the R-23 SIP walls, CDPCN specified low emissivity (low-e) windows to further reduce solar heat gain, and used tankless water heaters. By using Premier SIPs and these other energy-efficient measures, CDPCN expect to save about 60% on their heating and cooling costs.
ENERGY STAR did not require a blower door test because they used SIPs…Sarann Knight project automatically surpassed the ENERGY STAR certification.
Cycle time savings were also a factor on this project. The developer believes that SIPs durability is something else to consider. This project is actually the third project that I have worked on with CDPCN. The other two were a 58 single home development (Daisy Lee Homes), and a 240 unit senior housing project (Senator Richard Bryan Senior Apartments) . They are now realizing reduced call-backs for things like stucco cracking because their SIP walls are straighter and stronger than a typical stick framed wall.

One can argue that structured finance creates greater efficiency in our financial system because capital is freed to pursue other objectives. Although, it can also be argued, as Warren Buffet has, that derivatives, the product of structured finance, are “financial weapons of mass destruction.” Bo... at Are Mortgage-Backed Securities Dead?

The Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project summoned its Integrated Project Team (IPT) at the end of June 2009 to assist in identifying efficiencies that could be implemented in the tailings material handling, conditioning, transporting, and disposal processes. The Moab Recovery Act project accelerates the existing project shipping schedule; therefore, there is not an IPT specific to Recovery work.
DOE established the IPT in 2005 to maximize project performance. The IPT is led by Donald Metzler, Moab Federal Project Director, and is composed of personnel from other DOE sites with previous uranium mill tailings remediation experience, safety experts, and project cost and schedule specialists.

From the Dickenson County Historical Museum - another part of our delightful trip to Abilene. I hvae heard of and seen pictures of the Coleman Arc Lantern - but had never seen one in-person.
Coleman collecting is/was a pretty good part of my life - and this was a real treat to see. Not at all sure how it works - or even if this is assembled correctly or is even functional.
Update Jan 17, 2011
Guess I still have not seen an arc lantern as this is actually an "Efficiency" Lamp - in the style that inspired Mr. Coleman to buy the company and begin a wonderful journey bringing affordable light to millions worldwide. Here is some more info - info
