Data shows home fires burn hotter, faster than ever: How you can reduce risks (BPT) - While the number of home fires occurring in the U.S. each year has fallen by more than 50 percent since 1977, the ratio of people who die in home fires has remained virtually unchanged, based on data from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). In 1977, deaths occurred in .8 percent of home fires, and in 2013, that rate was .7 percent. One possible explanation for this discrepancy: home fires now burn hotter and faster than they did 40 years ago, meaning victims have less time to escape a burning house. "In a series of experiments, UL demonstrated that the nature of residential fires has changed dramatically," says Eric Skare, a volunteer firefighter in Minnesota and product manager of fire safety systems for Uponor. "Flashover - the point when intense heat causes an entire room to become engulfed in flames - now occurs less than five minutes after a fire starts. It used to take 30 minutes or longer for flashover to occur. People now have less time to get out of a burning house, even if their smoke alarms have alerted them to the fire." The results of this evolution in home fires can turn tragic quickly, Skare notes. "A study by the NFPA found that a third of those killed in home fires were trying to escape when they died," he says. The UL study cites several factors as driving the changes in home residential fires, including: * Modern home design is toward larger homes with more open floor plans, an arrangement that facilitates the spread of fire. Older homes were smaller overall and featured smaller room plans.

* Construction materials currently in use contribute to a faster burn time. * Today's home furnishings are made from many synthetic materials that combust easily, meaning fires have more fuel. * In UL testing, modern windows of all types failed faster than windows made from older - or "legacy" materials. In some cases, the time difference was significant. For example, legacy windows made of wood with a metal frame and nine single-glazed panes failed in about 12 to 16 minutes, while modern premium wooden frame windows with two panes of doubleglazed glass failed in about four to six minutes. When windows fail, they admit more oxygen into a burning building to feed the fire. All these factors contributed to UL test results that showed how much faster modern homes burn, and how escape time is much less than in decades past. Working smoke alarms in a home are proven to reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities. Virtually every construction code in the U.S. requires smoke alarms in new construction. Functioning smoke alarms reduce the risk of home fire fatalities by 50 percent, according to the NFPA. A residential sprinkler system slashes the risks even further by 80 percent. The U.S. Fire Administration recommends that all homes should be equipped with both smoke alarms and sprinklers. And the International Residential Code also requires fire sprinklers for new-home construction. In decades past, concerns over cost may have kept some homeowners from incorporating fire sprinklers in their new-home construction or major

REDUCED

renovation projects, but residential fire sprinklers are now more affordable than ever. In fact, a typical system represents about 1 to 1.5 percent of the total cost of new-home construction. For example, a $200,000 new home would require an investment of about $2,000 to install sprinklers - far less than the cost of other, less safetyoriented upgrades, such as premium appliances or flooring. Multipurpose systems like Uponor's, which use durable, flexible PEX piping, reduce costs even further. Because the home's cold-water plumbing fixtures are fed from the sprinkler loop, less piping is required for the installation. And recent approvals now allow Uponor's PEX piping to be left exposed in unfinished basement applications, which simplifies installation

requirements even more. Best of all, multipurpose systems also require no specialized testing or maintenance. As a result, homeowners know the system is ready to protect them every time they use an integrated, cold-water plumbing fixture. "If you're building a new home or undertaking a major renovation, there's life-saving value in asking your builder to install a fire sprinkler system," says Skare. "It doesn't have to cost a bundle to buy yourself and your family more time in case of a fire, and it's well worth the investment."

Keep the heat in and the cold out this winter: Tips for a cozy home (BPT) - Winter this year promises to be harsh across much of the U.S. The Farmers' Almanac predicts conditions will be "bitter cold," "unseasonably cold," "very chilly" and "frigid" for states east of the Mississippi River. In a word, brrrrrr! Autumn is the perfect time to make sure your home stays warm and cozy, in preparation for when the bitter blasts of January and February come pounding. With some simple DIY insulation projects, you can keep the heat in and the cold out this winter, while also saving on your heating bill. Check the basement One of the first places to check for proper insulation is the basement. "Up to 25 percent of a home's heat loss is through the basement," says Tom Savoy, technical director for Insulfoam. Many homes in the U.S. were built with fiberglass batts between wood wall studs, which is notoriously leaky, providing a bridge for heat to pass through the wall, says Savoy. Such insulation can also trap moisture in the walls, causing a musty basement smell. "Even if you don't spend time in the basement, it's crucial to insulate it right to help manage the heating throughout the rest of your home," says Savoy.

A simple solution is adding a layer of continuous insulation to the home's basement walls using rigid foam boards, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS). Available in home improvement stores, EPS insulation is easy to cut and install using standard tools around the house. Unlike many other insulations, rigid foam boards are thin and easy to handle, without messy fibers to clean-up. "EPS is a professional grade insulation that even DIYers can install," says Savoy. To get started insulating your basement, you will first need to figure out how much insulation you will need, based on its "R-value." R-value is the measure of an insulation's ability to resist heat flow, with higher numbers meaning better performance. A quick call to your city or county building department will let you know what Rvalue is appropriate, and if you'll need

to take anything else into account with your insulation project. Take a look in the attic In addition to insulating the basement, another leaky area to check is attic hatches. As heat rises, these hatches often have gaps around them, allowing the warm air to escape. Properly sealing them with weather

stripping and adding a layer of rigid foam to the hatch will help keep heat in your living area. To get ready for the coming shivery weather, the Farmers' Almanac suggests stocking up on "sweaters, long johns, and plenty of firewood." Part of your preparation should also include an easy weekend or two of adding insulation to your home.

Scrub the air inside your home and breathe easier with these tips www.albanyherald.com Sunday, October 4, 2015 The Albany Herald

(BPT) - Home should be your refuge, the place where you feel safest and can breathe easy. But what if the air inside your home is stuffy, stale or just downright dirty? Poor indoor air quality is common in American households, and if your home has bad air, it could be affecting your health. Indoor pollutant levels can be significantly higher than outdoor levels, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. What's more, the EPA notes, because most homes have multiple sources of indoor air pollution, the cumulative effect of all that pollution can lead to health problems. The problems may show up immediately or take years to emerge, the EPA says, and can include respiratory problems, eye and throat irritation, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. In observance of National Indoor Air Quality Month this October, here are some common sources of indoor air pollution and what you can do to improve the air inside your home: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Thousands of products give off VOCs, and the concentration of VOCs can be up to 10 times higher indoors than outside, the EPA says. Inside the home, paint, furniture and cleaning supplies are among the top sources of VOCs. To reduce the presence of VOCs in your home, choose lowor no-VOC paints for home improvement projects. If you've recently purchased furniture or had new carpeting installed, be sure to use good ventilation open windows and run ventilation fans to help evacuate VOCs. Choose cleansers made from organic formulations, rather than chemicals. Dust Dust and dirt in your home don't just look bad, they can cause respiratory and eye irritation, and make certain conditions - like asthma and allergies - even worse. The "dust" in your home contains a host of irritants besides simple dirt, including animal dander and hair, dust mites, insect debris, pollen, spores and more. The EPA says keeping your house clean can help reduce biological contaminants like these. Vacuuming is one of the most effective ways to reduce dust and dirt in your home, but be aware that some vacuums like upright or portable vacuums may actually increase the amount of dust and allergens in the air. Vacuums can pull dust off the floor and exhaust it back into the air. Even uprights with HEPA filters can't capture and retain all pollutants. A central vacuum system can do a better

job of removing contaminants from your home. For example, the NuTone PurePower Series Central Vacuums capture debris and other micro-particles and exhaust them directly outside your home, rather than recirculating dust and dirt back into the indoor air. By eliminating 99.97 percent of micro particles, the central vacuum helps improve indoor air quality. The system can be installed in virtually any style or age home, and is easy to use and maintain. Visit www.nutone.com/purepower. Fumes A number of appliances in your home can give off noxious fumes like carbon monoxide, from a malfunctioning gas log fireplace or a kerosene space heater to a faulty central furnace. Depending on the kind of emission, these fumes can cause illness and even be lethal. To minimize risks, keep all gas appliances in good repair. Have furnaces, heaters and fireplaces inspected at least once a year by a professional and be sure any appliance that burns fuel, such as a gas dryer or stove, properly vents outside the home. Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home; many states, counties and municipalities now require them in new construction. From installing a central vacuum system and CO detector to avoiding products that produce harmful emissions, you can do a lot to improve the quality of the air inside your home. A few precautions can help ensure everyone breathes easier and stays healthy.

Purchasing used items may be good for the wallet, but such purchases also can benefit the environment. Used items go on sale every day, whether they’re preowned cars or used clothing. Saving items from landfills prematurely reduces the number of new things that need to be manufactured, saving energy as well as money. There are so many ways to make the most of used merchandise and find the things you need. Here are some ways men and women concerned about the environment can look to preowned items to benefit the planet and their pocketbooks. Garage sales, tag sales, yard sales, and flea markets are great places to find preowned items. Men and women who are both bargain- and eco-conscious can organize their own neighborhood sales where several houses around the neighborhood pool their items for one large sale. Bargain hunters can then peruse the collected merchandise and feel good knowing their purchases are benefitting the environment.

(BPT) - For many Americans, "home" evokes warmth, comfort, security and safety. But while home may be sweet, statistics show it's far from safe. From falls and other types of accidents to fires and poor indoor air quality, home can be a dangerous place - so it's important to make simple home improvements that can help minimize avoidable home safety and health risks.

Falls Falls are the leading type of accident that sends people of all ages to the emergency room, each year, and they're particularly dangerous for older people and very young children, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Simple changes to your home can help reduce the risk of someone falling:

Homes Come Standard with:

* Make sure all stairways are equipped with handrails that are securely fixed to the wall. * Outfit bathrooms used by seniors with grab bars in shower and toilet areas. * Provide adequate lighting for when people move around at night, especially in stairways, hallways and bathrooms. The same is true during the day, especially for older adults and for anyone with reduced vision. Traditional or tubular skylights can bring abundant natural light into these and other areas of the home. * Remove or tack down area rugs to reduce the risk someone will catch a toe and trip. * To prevent small children from falling out of windows, install window guards with an emergency release device in case of fire. * Use safety straps when placing babies and young children in high chairs, carriers or swings, and never leave a child alone while he or she is strapped in to a device. Indoor air quality While you may think of pollution as an outdoor problem, the air inside your home can actually host more harmful irritants than outside air, according to research by the Environmental Protection Agency. Air pollution has been linked to a host of health problems, from respiratory ailments like allergies and asthma, to headaches and even depression. Several home upgrades can help improve air quality inside your home. When painting choose low or no-VOC paints. Consider removing carpets if you suffer from allergies or asthma. Good ventilation can make a home more comfortable and the air inside it healthier. You can improve ventilation in a variety of ways, including by installing fresh air skylights. In addition to venting stale indoor air through passive ventilation, Energy Star-qualified solar powered fresh air skylights deliver the health benefits of natural light. Energy-efficient, remotecontrolled solar powered fresh air skylights and solar powered blinds are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit as are the installation costs.

Yet homeowners can do a lot to reduce the risk of a fire occurring:

* Every home should be equipped with smoke alarms. If your home is older, it may not already have alarms. Add them - smoke alarms reduce the risk of home fire fatality by half, according to the NFPA. If you do have smoke alarms, but they're old, replace them with newer models, and consider the investment of having your home hard-wired with alarms. * Replace old electrical wiring and appliances they're a leading cause of home fires. * If you have a wood-burning fireplace, use a safety screen to catch sparks and prevent burning material from rolling out. * Finally, if you're building a new home or renovating an existing one, consider adding a home fire sprinkler system. According to the NFPA, they reduce the chance of someone dying in a home fire by 80 percent. When installed during new construction, a home fire sprinkler system costs about $1.35 per square foot of covered space, the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition says, noting that's about what you would pay to upgrade your carpeting.
