CAL Green Building - LED Lighting Evolves And Breaks Price Barrier - Chico Homes   One of my, “hobbies” is experimenting with emerging lighting solutions.There are a myriad of choices and lighting technologies today. How to you compare apples to apples or LED's to CFL's to incandescent bulbs?

CAL Green Building - BIB Wall In- Chico Homes If you are considering a new home or upgrading the energy efficiency of your existing one you might consider insulation. While there are numerous material types used today, fiberglass maybe one of the most popular products. Manufacturers have developed improved methods for installing the product not common even 4 years ago.   One advance in wall insulation is known as Blown-In-Blanket or BIB for short.  This method of insulation produces a level of thermal resistance or "R" value that is much higher than what a preformed "batt" insulation can provide. The BIB is referred to as a "zero defect" product. The finely cut material is excellent at finding and filling small voids found around the piping and wiring found in walls. This method of insu...
