Are you afraid to turn on your heat because of how much it will cost? 😱
EmPower+ is just one program our free advisors can introduce you to at the Energy Expo this Saturday! https://bit.ly/PutnamEnergyExpo26

This program helps low- and moderate-income households save energy and money toward energy improvements, including assessments, air sealing, insulation, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and electrical service and wiring upgrades. The program is open to income-eligible owners and renters of one- to four-family households.

Decades of reported UFO sightings helped turn Pine Bush New York into the UFO Capital of the East. Five years ago, those stories found a permanent home at the Pine Bush UFO & Paranormal Museum.

It’s also one of nearly 50 Experience Clean Heat sites across New York State. Visit the Experience Clean Heat website to find one near you.

Do you think there’s more to the Pine Bush sightings in the Hudson Valley?

Celebrating 10 years of the Women’s Energy Network Greater NYC chapter with the women who have built this community, mentored the next generation, and kept the energy transition moving forward. Grateful to serve alongside this board and proud of everything this chapter has become. Here’s to the next decade. 🥂

I found a hidden creative gem in Westchester.

Tucked inside Cedar Lane Town Park in Ossining, Cedar Lane Arts Center is a community art space offering classes and workshops for people of all ages.

But this property has a surprising history. Built in 1923 as the estate of Rush Kress, whose family was behind the famous Kress five-and-dime stores, it later became a recreation and rehabilitation facility for wounded veterans.

Today, the former estate is home to an arts center, community garden, and composting program. The garden even sits where the estate’s former swimming pool once stood.

Cedar Lane Arts Center is also one of nearly 50 NYSERDA Experience Clean Heat sites across New York State.

Would you have guessed this was once a private estate? Yes or no?

🔥 We’re STOKED to share our ASTM E84 test results!

We completed ASTM E84 testing at Home Innovation Research Labs with support from @nyserda and the results are pretty exciting:
• Smoke Developed Index: 5 / 450
• Flame Spread Index: 0 / 25
• Class A Fire Rating

For the test, we laid out 24 feet of Hemplime Blocks in a fire tunnel, where a gas flame was applied to evaluate flame spread and smoke production.

These results are another exciting step toward demonstrating the fire performance of Hemplime as a building material and supporting its use in the industry.
Huge thanks to the HIRL team for doing such a great job and to Kelly Grace @nontoxarchitect for coming out to see the materials and testing firsthand.
More good stuff to come. 🌱🔥

Firestopping might not be the most talked-about part of construction, but it’s definitely one of the most important! 🔥🏗️

Did you know that properly installed firestopping systems help prevent fire, smoke, and hot gases from spreading through openings in fire-rated walls and floors?

It’s one of those things you may never notice in a finished building, but it plays a critical role in protecting lives and property.

At Empire Firestopping LLC, we take pride in the work that happens behind the walls because what you don’t see matters just as much as what you do!

👷🏽‍♂️ Follow along as we share more firestopping facts and give you a closer look at the work we do throughout Westchester County and surrounding areas.

What heat pump solutions work for different building types, and what can we learn from projects that have already designed, built, commissioned, and operated them?

This solutions focused symposium organizes that conversation around three building scales—small, medium, and large.

Each scale presents a different set of opportunities and constraints:

🔹Small buildings: packaged systems, distributed solutions, limited mechanical space, simplicity, and product integration.

🔹Medium buildings: system selection, hydronic distribution, central versus distributed approaches, DHW, electrical capacity, and constructability.

🔹Large buildings: complex distribution, refrigerant management, central plants, ground-source systems, heat recovery, roof and equipment space, phasing, and integration with large multifamily operations.

Thank you to our valued Stakeholder Partner, NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority), for their continued leadership and support in advancing New York’s high-performance building industry.

🏡 A big thank you to @nyserda, NYSERDA President and CEO Doreen Harris, and @govkathyhochul for awarding JASA’s proposed JASA Seaview housing development a Buildings of Excellence Demonstration award! This recognition will allocate funding to help JASA and our partners @cplusga, Forsyth Street Advisors, and @weintraub_diaz_la incorporate critical sustainability and energy-efficiency features into the new development, creating healthier, more resilient homes for older New Yorkers.

JASA Seaview, currently in its planning phase, will have 256 affordable senior housing apartments and feature ultra-energy-efficient design, including solar panels, innovative heat management and ventilation systems, outdoor terraces, and a greenhouse. ☀️🌿

We’re excited to build a future where affordable housing and sustainability go hand in hand!
