The First Modern Green Hybrid Home by BRIO54 is now Available for Purchase throughout the Eastern United States and Canada

By mdsons on Monday, August 30th, 2010 | No Comments

New Haven, CT (PRWEB) June 25, 2009

BRIO54 LLC, an innovative young prefab firm promoting a fresh, unique, modern green lifestyle is proud to announce the official release of their first modern green hybrid home. The H1+C, a 2542 SF, 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath suburban model for 1 to 2 acre lots is now available for purchase throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. With the H1+C, BRIO54 has succeeded in delivering exceptional design and construction at a fair price, staying true to its core objective of introducing affordable quality to the residential housing market.

A Cost-Effective, Pragmatic Approach to Prefabrication

The H1+C combines the unique advantages of both on- and off-site construction into one ‘hybrid solution’. This pragmatic approach to home building makes it possible to overcome the typical limitations of prefabrication, such as restrictions in size, form, and construction techniques. At the same time, it eliminates the drawbacks of custom, on-site construction such as cost overruns, extended unpredictable construction and design periods, and the lack of a coordinated product development effort in conjunction with installers, suppliers, and manufacturers.

In addition, buyers benefit from significant overall cost reductions achieved by 1) eliminating excessive market-driven markups associated with local general contractors, electricians, plumbers and modular prefabricators; and 2) through special volume pricing agreements with our component manufacturers and suppliers.

Quick and Easy Online Configuration

An innovative online customization applet offers instant access to pricing, detailed specifications, and comprehensive construction-quality 3D-models. Buyers set their own priorities in terms of affordability, quality, style and sustainability. They are able to choose how green they want to be, or can afford to be, and even the most basic configuration assures delivery of a unique, stylish, healthy, and energy efficient home.

Healthy, Energy- and Resource-Conscious Living

Green features include an innovative, highly insulating building envelope with virtually no thermal bridging and low-VOC building materials and finishes for improved indoor air quality. EPA WaterSense certified plumbing fixtures and a BRAC Greywater recycling system significantly reduce overall water consumption. A fully integrated 7-zone inverter technology-based mini-duct system together with HRV/ERV based whole house ventilation delivers a highly adjustable and efficient space conditioning system. Such a system eliminates the uncomfortable temperature fluctuations associated with conventional central air-conditioning units and insures an adequate fresh air supply without the associated energy losses. A solar thermal system with an electric backup unit addresses domestic hot water needs and a solar grid-tie PV system significantly reduces monthly electricity bills.

Unique Modern High-End Signature Design

The clean modern high-end design also showcases built-in European cabinetry with recessed grips by SieMatic throughout the home, flush baseboards, casing-free interior doors, and flush, fully integrated Bosch and Miele appliances. Grohe fixtures, Leviton Acenti Series controls and Seiho diffusers complete the modern high-end look, not to mention the custom European-style lift & slide doors and tilt & turn windows by Grabill and Koemmerling.

Available in Various Installation Packages

The H1+C is available in three different installation packages offering varying degrees of self-involvement. The ‘turn-key’ package is a move-in ready solution and starts at 9/sf; the ‘u-install’ package, which includes installation of the dry-in kit with exterior finishes and delivery of all additional materials, is available for as low as 6/sf; and the ‘u-decide’ package delivers the installed dry-in kit with exterior finishes at a cost of 3/sf and above.

Package prices are non-binding, for information only and will vary according to location. Fixed-price contracts eliminate any potential risk of unforeseen cost overruns. Furthermore, a fair financial incentive will be offered to the buyer of the first H1+C.

Proven Construction Techniques Backed by an Experienced Team

With the H1+C, BRIO54 carefully avoided introducing new and unproven construction techniques, but instead chose to improve and simplify the use of readily available materials and methods. This conservative yet innovative approach is backed by a small but highly qualified team with more than 12 years of experience in residential architecture and 20 years in erecting residential & commercial structures, as well as by the track record of our prefab assembly providers and suppliers.

+ ICF Base with Architectural Finish

Home Improvement Expert Builds Do-It-Yourself Website and Blog

By mdsons on Sunday, August 29th, 2010 | No Comments

Lakewood, CA (PRWEB) August 2, 2009

“With a lot of construction, there’s just a lack of things that are put together in the proper manner,” said Craig Emmert. “It’s so frustrating to see home improvement failures because someone didn’t use the right tools or have the right information.”

In order to share his expertise with others, and promote home improvement done right, Emmert launched his new website at www.My-DIY.net. The website will promote do-it-yourself home improvement anchored by Emmert’s experience as a contractor and builder.

“When it comes to home improvement, there are three basic requirements for a successful project: make it look good, make sure it works as intended and make sure it will last,” said Emmert.

Emmert developed his simple but effective approach to home improvement following decades of work in construction.

“I’ve worked in coastal areas for a long time, and have seen how salt and moisture can affect the exterior and interior of a home,” said Emmert. “Because I’ve worked under the harshest conditions, I understand what it takes to get the job done right.”

With the launch of a new blog at www.My-DIY-Blog.com, Emmert will provide information for a number of standard and advanced home improvement topics. “I can teach people how to hang a door or how to renovate their kitchen,” said Emmert. “There’s little I haven’t done before.”

Emmert asserts that there are few surprises in home improvement, and making something work is as simple as following the instructions. “There are no ghosts in construction; nothing happens without a reason, so if we look at a problem for long enough, we can discover the cause,” said Emmert. “Do-it-yourself home improvement is all about recognizing the problem and finding the solution.”

When it comes to home improvement, Emmert lives by the words of Albert Einstein, who once said “the value of a man resides in what he gives and not what he is capable of receiving.” Following Einstein’s example, Emmert uses his experience and knowledge to give back to others.

With his “can do” approach to home improvement, homeowners will love partnering with Emmert to tackle projects around the house. “With do-it-yourself home improvement, people can save their hard earned money, and get the satisfaction of a job well done.”

neaclear Emphasizes Spring Cleaning for Allergy Sufferers

By mdsons on Sunday, August 29th, 2010 | No Comments

Park Ridge, IL (PRWEB) March 2, 2006

Spring is in the air. Grass is greener, birds are singing, and it’s time to clean out your closets, put away the winter clothes – basically it’s time for spring cleaning. Because no one wants to be inside scrubbing when the weather warms up, a lot of people use this seasonal change as a ripe opportunity for accomplishing this tedious task.

Most people tackle the dreaded chore of deep cleaning in the spring, hence the name Spring Cleaning. neaclear makes a point of emphasizing spring cleaning especially for allergy sufferers. 40 million people per year suffer from some form of allergies. The allergens inside the house — dust mites, animal dander, and mold — should be addressed on a weekly basis but seldom are, hence spring cleaning is especially mandatory for the allergic person.

So, what is spring cleaning? It is going through the house thoroughly cleaning every nook and cranny and sorting out cabinets, drawers, and closets. It means starting at the ceiling and working your way down to the floor, cleaning every square inch. All ceilings, walls, baseboards, floors, and the insides of closets and cabinets should be cleaned thoroughly.

Why go to such extreme measures? The population of indoor allergens will be significantly reduced, which will make your environment less harmful. Attacking allergens is actually quite simple but not necessarily easy.

Dust Mites

House dust is material that consists of a combination of many particles such as dust mites and their byproducts, food particles, human and animal dander (flakes of dead skin), bits of plant particles, insect parts and waste, mold and fungus, and bits of fabrics.

A natural resting place for airborne allergens and irritants is carpets. Carpets make a wonderful home for dust mites who live off human and animal dander. Carpets create several problems for allergy sufferers. Not only do they harbor millions of dust mites, the padding beneath the carpet can contain irritant chemicals, and if the carpet is installed on concrete slabs, dampness can collect underneath which is conducive not only for dust mites, but for mold growth.

Vacuuming the carpet regularly is important. There are products on the market now that help kill dust mites and get rid of their waste products.

The highest concentration of dust mites is usually found in bedrooms. To conquer the ever growing population of dust mites, a few preventative measures should be followed. First, box springs, mattresses and pillows should be completely encased in allergen-impermeable covers. All bedding should be washed in hot water to get rid of mites, their byproducts, and human skin flakes, the food source of the mites.

The window coverings in your home should be either shades or washable curtains. They are less apt to collect dust.

Molds and Mildew

Molds and mildew can be found in places that have high humidity. Indoor humidity should be maintained below 45% to reduce their growth. An air conditioner or dehumidifier should be used to reduce the humidity in a home. The humidity can be measured by using a hygrometer. It is very important to filter the indoor air to rid it of dust and mold spores. To do this, be sure to clean or change the filters on a regular basis so the allergens are not re-circulated. An electronic filter can be used to trap mold spores.

The central heat and air system in your home can become contaminated and be a breeding ground for molds, mildew, and other sources of contaminants. Once contaminated, the system can then distribute these enemy allergens throughout the home. It is recommended that the ductwork be cleaned as well because it is a big source of allergens.

To reduce mold spores in the home, you must remember the sources outside your home. Piles of leaves and mulch that are near the house need to be moved. Also the trees and brush that overhang your home need to be cut down or cut back. Remember mold spores become air borne and can enter the house easily.

There are many sources of mold on the inside of your home. Refrigerators, garbage cans, houseplants, bathrooms, and basements are all possible sources of mold growth. Look for leaky pipes, clogged drains, or bad water drainage systems beneath the ground surrounding your home.

Cleaning Supplies Can Aggravate Allergies

Housecleaning can be troublesome for many allergy sufferers. Those with allergies can aggravate their already-existing symptoms by cleaning the house. Sometimes the cleaning supplies themselves can aggravate the allergy symptoms. To prevent breathing allergens that become disturbed while cleaning, wear a face dust mask.

If the cleaning supplies cause you problems, there are alternative methods you can use.

    To clean ceramic tile, where mold and mildew accumulate, use a combination of 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup white vinegar, one gallon warm water, and one cup ammonia.

    To polish furniture, combine one teaspoon of lemon juice with one pint mineral or vegetable oil. For a spray, mix two teaspoons lemon oil and one pint mineral oil.

    To clean the toilet bowl, combine baking soda and vinegar, or use 1/2 cup chlorine bleach by itself.

    To clean windows and mirrors, mix three tablespoons ammonia, one tablespoon white vinegar, and 3/4 cup water. Wipe glass dry with a newspaper.

    To remove and prohibit mold growth, a weak bleach solution should be used on the affected surfaces.

    To avoid manifestation of cockroaches be sure to rid the house of newspapers, paper bags, and food particles. The kitchen cabinets and drawers should be emptied and washed out periodically.

    Hire professional services to shampoo the carpets, and clean out air-conditioning ducts, heating ducts and chimneys.

Now that you have completed all the chores above, you will have a much healthier place to live. Just keep in mind that if you do these things on a regular basis, there will be no need for “spring cleaning” next year.

neaclear liquid oxygen skin care products are the latest craze in the medical and skin care communities. The media has consistently branded the neaclear skin care line “the ultimate anti-aging regimen.” Among the biggest supporters are some of the biggest names in plastic surgery and dermatology.
