Someone just bought this Florida condo decorated floor-to-ceiling with Budweiser cans. The previous owner, who passed away this year, was a life-long Bud fan and had been saving cans since 1986 https://t.co/cygyN6w6mF Source: https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1309859771886039040 Uploader: NowThis

A study of the Florida Public Building Loan Concept pilot program determined its effectiveness in helping to upgrade building energy systems. The pilot program, termed FLASTAR (Florida Alliance for Saving Taxes and Resources), involved the comprehensive metering of an elementary school to demonstrate energy savings potential after retrofitting the facility with new chillers and sensor controls for classroom and office lighting. Data show the chiller upgrade had resulted in a 30 percent reduction to cooling energy use. Sensor controls failed to achieve energy savings and actually increased lighting energy usage. An energy management system (EMS) was added that provided direct digital control (DDC) of the school chillers, air handlers, and packaged direct expansion (DX) roof-top systems. The EMS reduced chiller energy use by an additional 16 percent, and air handling and DX system energy consumption by 30 percent. Project retrofits achieved overall energy savings of approximately 15 percent or 120,000 kWh per year resulting in annual energy savings of $4,600. An appendix provides important project dates.

1Harbor

By Ernest Poole

<em>The Harbor</em> was written in 1915 by Ernest Poole. The novel is considered by many to be one of Poole’s best efforts even though his book, <em>The Family</em> won a Pulitzer Prize. <em>The Harbor</em> is a fictional account of life on a Brooklyn waterfront through the eyes of Billy as he is growing up. The novel starts with Billy the child, living on the harbor with his father, mother, and sister, Sue. During this time he also meets Eleanor who, at that time, he considers to be strange. She later becomes an important character in the novel. His father owns a shipping business, is hard-working, and can think of little else. As a young man, Billy begins to detest the harbor and longs for escape to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a writer and avoiding his father’s business. With his mother’s blessing, he takes flight to Paris to hone his trade. While in Paris, he meets Joe Kramer (J.K.) and a sometimes stormy relationship begins. J.K. forces him to confront human situations that Billy would prefer to close his eyes to. Billy eventually returns to the harbor after some years and recognizes changes are taking place in the harbor, and in his life. The harbor becomes a subject for his writing and his personal relationships. His attitude about the harbor begins to evolve. Throughout the novel, J.K. continues to make appearances in Billy’s life, challenging him to write about things as they really are and not as Billy’s world of comfort shows them to be. Billy’s life is changed when the harbor goes on strike and he becomes involved in the labor movement. What more can be said about a book that starts with the words, “You Chump!”?

2His Family

By Ernest Poole

The 1910s is historically considered the decade of greatest social change in history. It saw the advent and proliferation of the automobile, electricity, lighting, radio, telephone and cinema. Our present time of change is actually quite tame in comparison, though also breathless. <i>His Family</i> is a tale of a widowed father, working to manage this decade of change as it affects his family in New York City. <i>His Family</i> was the first winner of the Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1919.
