Robin Durham Celebrates 40 Years with Association Devotion to the industry and a love of working with people fuel her dedication to her job at BIA By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC
On May 13, 1974 HBAL hired a young lady named Robin King. She later became Robin Durham. It was her first “real” job and she enjoyed the people and the work at the Home Builders Association of Louisville (now referred to as the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville). She looks back on it, acknowledging that she never really thought she would be working for the association for such an extended time. “You don’t start off thinking about how long you’re going to be there. Time goes by fast, and the next thing you know 40 years have passed,” she said. When asked what keeps Durham motivated to do the same job all these years, she said, “It’s the people, our presidents and our membership. It’s like home in a way. I’ve made good relationships with people,” she said. Durham noted that it has been interesting to work with so many different personalities throughout her career and elaborated on the favorite part of her job, “I love working with BICF. When you see the kids get those playhouses, it just touches your heart. It’s really neat to be a part of that.” Durham has seen her share of changes since she took the job as a receptionist that day. “I love this industry and I’ve met a lot of people through this job,” she explained. She has served 41 Presidents of the Association, although only 40 different individuals since Joe Pusateri served as President twice. Durham has worked under three executive officers in her time with the association, including Len Mills, John Robinson and Chuck Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh elaborated on her role within the association, “Robin Durham is simply the most dedicated, loyal, and trustworthy employee anyone would want working at their organization! Besides these qualities, she is genuinely as nice a person as you would want to be around. She cares for the Association, its members and other staff as if they were part of her family, which in many ways after spending 40 years with the Association, we are part of her family. It has been a pleasure to have been able to work with Robin during my 18 years at the Association and appreciate her for her time with this great building industry.” Former BIA presidents have valued the role Durham has played within the association and the personal assistance she has offered. Richard Eberenz offered the following description of her, “She’s sweet, capable, reliable and knowledgeable. And, did I mention she was quite pretty? I got to know her by working on the Registered Builder Committee, and when I was president I would dictate letters to her. They always seemed to come back better than they started.” Jim Skaggs commented on Durham’s long-standing commitment to the association, “I built houses for 35-40 years and I know Robin 12 louisville builder • bialouisville.com
was on board when I joined the association. I remember how young she was and that she was a do-it-all person at the office. She helped everybody. She was, and is, very pleasant to be around and it’s impressive that she’s been there that long.” Robert Eberenz, Sr. elaborated on Durham’s personality. “There’s nothing I can say about Robin that isn’t good. She’s an excellent secretary and she’s devoted a lot of time to the association. She’s a nice person and I really enjoyed working with her.” “Robin is one of the most pleasant persons that I have ever worked with. She never seems to crack under pressure and her attention to detail is unbelievable. Her response to questions is almost instant. The association has been blessed to have her,” Richard Miles said. Rob Eberenz Jr., described how Durham assisted him in his efforts. “I knew that her job was to assist the executive officer, but when I became president she made it clear that she would help me with anything I needed to get the job done. She’s actually like a personal secretary for the president and she knows everything about the association.” Eberenz described her in one word, “Professionalism. That’s what she brings to the association. She’s always dressed to the nines. She’s an extremely conscientious person and isn’t one to let anything fall through the cracks.”
“Robin is one of the most pleasant persons that I have ever worked with. She never seems to crack under pressure and her attention to detail is unbelievable. Her response to questions is almost instant. The association has been blessed to have her,”
- Richard Miles Joe Pusateri commented on Robin’s work ethic and value to the association, “I think every president realizes how valuable and efficient Robin is. If I wanted anything from the BIA, even 22 years after being President – wow, I can’t believe it has been that long – I still call Robin. My guess is every past president would say the same thing. She has the perfect personality and attitude. Every time I have talked to Robin she has made me feel like it was her pleasure to do something to help me out.” Pusateri admitted that if she had worked for any other organization other than BIA, he would have tried to hire her at Elite Homes. “Knowing how valuable she is to BIA, I never felt like that was something I should do. I also did not want all the other builders mad at me.”

29th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes Set for Aug. 9 & 10 By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC
The 29th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes will take place August 9-10, once again offering innovative ideas in home renovation as local remodelers showcase their talents through some of the area’s latest remodeling projects. The popular event held each August continues to draw huge crowds and generate media awareness of the value of upgrading and improving homes, and the need to hire professionals whom they can trust to do the job right. The 2014 event will features a wide range of projects, including ones described by these four BIA members ... Karen McKechnie, Stonehenge Construction, is doing an “aging in place” whole house remodel. Originally, the home had a sunken living room and an indoor pool. She converted the master shower so that it has no curb to allow for wheelchair access if needed in the future. McKechnie raised the living room and replaced the pool with a new dining room with plenty of windows. She explained some details about the home she is remodeling from top to bottom, “Now it has high ceilings and lots of windows with transoms, a walk-in shower, an open floor plan and all floors are at the same height. We installed new 14 louisville builder • bialouisville.com
windows, doors, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and insulation.” McKechnie said they removed an old fireplace in the living room and added a new corner fireplace with a granite slab, in addition to more windows so the homeowners can better enjoy the depth the new high ceilings offered. Previously, most of the rooms had seven foot ceilings, which have been converted to reach 14 feet. McKechnie reported that she is very busy, with clients requesting higher-end products instead of more square footage. Joe French, Louisville Handyman Inc., said his homeowners wanted to update the house to accommodate family gatherings, especially around the pool in the summer. The focus, he said, was on modernizing the home with a more attractive curb appeal and devising a more open floor plan with modern amenities. He took advantage of the existing features, such as nice lighting and hardwood floors that were hiding under carpet. “Our focus has been the first floor of the house which features a new full custom kitchen, remodeled master bedroom with a new walk-in closet, remodeled bathroom with a custom shower and custom cabinets and lots of other improvements such new tile in the
Tour of Remodeld Homes foyer and new and refinished hardwoods floors throughout. We also added new wainscoting in the foyer, stairs and dining room,” French explained. Additionally, he said the finished project will includes a new front porch in addition to enhancements around the pool area. French reports that his company is experiencing the best sales ever, with frequent requests for kitchens, baths, basements and sun rooms. Stacye Love, Stacye Love Construction LLC., is working on a project that allows her homeowners to have a formal dining room (which replaces the old kitchen), a new kitchen, large new laundry, separate cubby area and back entry, covered porch, storage in new unfinished basement and a hearth room. “The goal was to completely rework the facade from the former home built by the owner over a decade and a half ago. The new facade features a lovely, large covered front porch that ties into the new wing and secondary ‘friend’s’ entrance door,” she said, noting that the new look makes the original house unrecognizable from before the remodel. “Besides giving the family a dining room out of the old kitchen space, they now have their dream kitchen with two islands, tons of built-ins and a separate pantry, a large vaulted eating area and lots of windows to enjoy their large private lot and a spacious covered porch,” she added. Love balances her business between remodeling and new construction and reported that the current market is “hot.”

Brad Abell, Vincent Abell Contracting Inc., explained the historic preservation of a 1900 Victorian-era, Italianate-style, three-story home that he and his father, Vincent, are showcasing in the Tour. “When we started the project, it was a duplex and our homeowners wanted to make it into a single family residence. Our goal was to keep a lot of the historical woodwork and hardwood floors,” he said. The project is located in Old Louisville, so historic preservation was definitely a part of the mission of this project. “It’s a three-story and is more than 4,000 square feet and we’ve been working on it for about two years. We’ve renovated the kitchen, gutted the entire third floor and added three bathrooms and two stairways.” Abell said all of the windows in the home work like they would have worked 100 years ago. He said they’ve been very busy the last several years and steadily receive requests for historic restoration projects and ones where homeowners want to make their living spaces more functional and livable. presented by:
Remodeling Industry Reports on Green Trends According to a new NAHB survey, high-performing, Low-emissive (Low-E) windows are the most common green building products used by residential remodelers today. Other popular products for 2014, as reported by NAHB, include high efficiency HVAC systems, programmable thermostats and Energy Star appliances. Ceiling fans, moisture control products such as bathroom fans, water conserving fixtures and high performance insulation also are near top of the list. NAHB reports the usage of technology to improve a home’s performance has increased dramatically during recent years, with 70 percent of remodelers saying they used programmable thermostats, an increase from 42 percent in 2011.

Sales & Marketing Tips:
Defining (or Redefining) the Identity of Your Business
How Can You Keep Pace With the Current Consumer? By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC
Today’s consumers are more discerning than ever. With virtual encyclopedias of information literally within their fingertips (or their smart phones), consumers are researching, comparing and weighing the pros and cons of products and services before they buy. When they start leaning toward the decision to make a purchase, their expectations are high. They want information, service and delivery faster than they’ve ever demanded it before. How can BIA members keep up with that pace and avoid running around in circles? Marketing experts advise demonstrating an understanding of what their needs are and showcasing a high level of knowledge about the products and services consumers are seeking. Keeping up with today’s customers isn’t a marathon, but it’s wise to invest in the training and conditioning to keep pace with their demands and exceed their expectations. More than likely, BIA members already have the motivation and the skills to succeed. They might benefit, however, from a little coaching on getting a good start to keep up speed with consumers’ growing demands. When They Want It, They Want It Now ... BIA Director of Communications Kieler Henry explained his observations about consumers within the last five years. “We’ve seen the average consumer grow more virtually social, while more physically reclusive. They want easy, detailed access to your products and services – and, they want little-to-no delay in response time. They want to get in, get out and get on with the next thing.” Henry related the current consumer response to a self-checkout line. “We are selling to a self-checkout consumer who may leave a troublesome product behind rather than ask for help. This demands a fine balancing act on our part.” Communication has always been a key strategy in customer relations, but Henry said that taking that a little further will enable businesses to be a step ahead. “Certainly, we cannot ignore the current consumer climate,” Henry said. “We must ensure product details are readily available online and in print, enabling the consumer to make quick, informed decisions. Offering too little information or failing to 18 louisville builder • bialouisville.com
offer it efficiently will be a deal-breaker for them. However, if we leave it at that, we’ve merely met expectations,” he explained. He suggests BIA members spend time considering how what they know would benefit someone who can be educated about the industry. Sharing that knowledge can build a sense of trust with consumers. “You can call your customers and offer them how-to guides and other information they didn’t ask for and don’t expect. You are a wealth of information about your profession, and chances are, most of that information still resides in your head. Put it in print and share it. Your customers – and you – will be glad you did.” Demonstrate an Understanding of Clients’ Needs There is some positive news for BIA members who have weathered a consumer drought in recent years. According to BIA Account Executive Kimberly Greenwell, the pent-up demand for home buying and making home improvements is getting some relief. She shared her perspective on the shift in consumer behavior in recent months, “It has been remarkable to see the change in consumer confidence in the few months. As soon as the winter weather was behind us, consumers started flocking to home improvement businesses with money in hand to make those improvements they have been dreaming about. Whether they are remodeling their home or making plans to build the home of their dreams, consumers aren’t just researching now, they are buying.” Greenwell advises members to be prepared to really listen to what the buying public is asking for. “When the consumer comes knocking on your door you need to be ready with a listening ear. The business that really listens to what the customer wants and acts on it will win.” Greenwell explained that businesses have to demonstrate an understanding of their clients’ needs. “You need to provide feedback that shows that not only were you listening, but you have to demonstrate to that customer that you are knowledgeable about the product/service they are seeking and you’ll provide quality service for a fair price.”
Kimberly Greenwell offers some questions to consider: • How is your sales staff responding to customers and demonstrating expertise? Don’t just assume that your sales people know everything about a product or service you provide. Business is so fast-paced now. We often assume that people know things simply because they are second nature to us. • Do your sales people offer a consultative sales style? In order to know the exact needs of the consumer, you have to ask them the right questions. Never assume what they are looking for. Ask the right questions and find out exactly what they need. If your company does not have a list of questions that are a must for your sales people to ask the consumer, it’s a good idea to make one. Chances are, you have some unexperienced sales people who haven’t been properly trained and are missing out on opportunities, not only on sales but in properly educating the consumer. • Are your sales meetings informative? Make your meetings informative. Have a training on a new product, go over client objections, and do role playing. An educated sales staff not only improves your bottom line, but it also improves the morale of your sales people because you are taking the time to give them the tools they need to succeed. Greenwell emphasized the team approach, “Being on top of how your sales people work with customers and making sure they are knowledgeable about the products and services you are selling is crucial to making sure the home improvement consumer who walks in that door walks out having purchased your product.”

THANK YOU! BIA Members Instrumental in Land Development Code Review Process By Stacy Smith Rogers, Grace Communications, LLC
Louisville’s Land Development Code regulates all faces of development, including building design requirements, zoning of land use, landscape buffers, signage and much more. It’s an important tool in determining different uses of land, responsibilities of landowners and different building designs. Its intention is to regulate with the mission of protecting property owners as well as community interests while encouraging a positive business climate and preserving quality of life for residents and the character of the Louisville community. The current code is a 5,000-page document, so reviewing it is no small task. For nearly two years, BIA members and community partners have undertaken the job to review and recommend updates for the Land Development Code. The goal of the review process, which began in June 2012, is to simplify the code and make it better and easier to use and implement. BIA would like to say “Thank You” and recognize the efforts of each of its members who have worked tirelessly on reviewing, researching and making recommendations on the changes proposed for the Land Development Code. The review process included two rounds. The first round identified what big picture issues would be addressed; the second round took a closer look and involved a more detailed response. It’s been a long process, with literally hundreds of meetings attended by members. BIA was well represented on the Main Land Development Code Oversight Committee, which met a total of 35 times in the last couple of years. Each of those meetings was informationpacked, spanning at least two hours long.
“Our volunteers worked diligently, donating hundreds of hours of their time to improve the Land Development Code for both new construction and remodeling of residential buildings and commercial development. This member support is what makes our Association special among its peers. Our laser focus on improving the code shows all members a significant value on their membership.” – Chuck Kavanaugh, BIA Executive Vice President
For the second round review, nine subcommittees met a total of 192 times, with more than 160 individuals from the community participating. Everything from landscaping to fair and affordable housing was meticulously examined. The subcommittees made their recommendations to the Main Oversight Committee, which thoroughly reviewed it and submitted their final recommendations to the Planning Commission in April. A public hearing is set for August 11, 2014. Once the Planning Commission has completed its review process, it will be passed on to Metro Council, which has the power to approve the recommendations, revise them or reject them. There is no specific time frame for Metro Council to complete that review. According to Planning Coordinator Mike Hill (whose official responsibility is interpret-

ing the Land Development Code), it took approximately six months for Metro Council to review the first round of recommendations, so he anticipates it could take longer than that to review the second round, considering it is significantly more in-depth. “The committees took Star_Of_Kitchen_Dealer_Ad.pdf 1 4/29/13 12:31 action on approximately 200PM individual text amendments, hitting on every section of the code. Once the Planning Commission makes recommendations to Metro Council, they’ll have an ad hoc committee to review it and they can take as much time as they need. They can approve the recommendations as they were sent or revise them or reject them,” he explained. Hill noted that the current Land Development Code was adopted in 2003. Outside consultants assisted in the extensive review and creation of the code. The current review, however, was performed inhouse. He was impressed by the level of public participation. “It’s important to12-THD-0138_Star_Of_Kitchen_Dealer_Ad.pdf include everyone and have1 that participation and include 4/29/13 12:31 PM different perspectives. This process takes much longer than you anticipate. We did it in-house with just me and a couple of our colleagues. We appreciate the efforts of the building community and their understanding of our process with Planning and Design Services and believe that they each play an integral part of the Louisville community,” he said. BIA Executive Vice President Chuck Kavanaugh acknowledged the efforts of BIA members in ensuring the building industry’s voice was represented. “Our Association has had a long history of member volunteerism on behalf of the Building Industry and this initiative has been as significant as many in recent history.

Four Louisville Pros “Open Up” About Windows and Doors By Nancy Miller
Design innovation and technology breakthroughs are rapidly transforming the window and door industry. Louisville Builder stays on the cutting edge of these new developments because Louisville’s pre-eminent industry authorities share their latest news and advice with us, and with you. Take a look at what Paul Miele of K-I Lumber and Building Materials; Kevin Pollard of Architectural Windows and Doors; Matt Reynolds of Window World; and Barry Terrell of PC Home Stores revealed Paul Miele K-I Lumber & Building Materials It’s all about selection in the window and door business. All the manufacturers offer something a little different, particularly regarding windows. The manufacturers’ websites have what I call beauty pictures which are great for customers. Masonite’s Safe ‘n Sound doors that have the durability and feel of real wood have become very popular. They’re constructed of pressed wheat straw, an annually renewable resource. They’re 25% more quiet than a hollow core door, providing sound deadening qualities and a reduction in noise transfer. In addition, they have a 20 minute fire-rated option with 1 ¾” thickness. I especially like them for mother-in-law suites, offices or areas in which there may be a lot of wear and tear by children. A big innovation in wood exterior doors is the Lemieux Torrefied Collection by Masonite. It is the next closest thing to petrified wood, which brings a lot of advantages. The torrefaction process is an allnatural green procedure in which wood is heated over time to eliminate its tendency to rot. A 20-year guarantee covers warping, twisting, delamination or rotting. The collection is offered in more than 10,000 Lemieux residential entry door designs, and is available in maximum 4/0 widths and 8/0 heights, and in select grade Douglas Fir, Brazilian 22 louisville builder • bialouisville.com
Mahogany, Appalachian Poplar and Aspen. The only downside is that it has very extended lead times, but if you can wait eight weeks, it’s a wonderful product. The Craftsman style is still very popular for interior and exterior applications. There’s also a movement toward modern, New York loftstyle doors that have simple horizontal lines rather than the traditional six panels. Masonite has some very interesting products that reflect that style. If a window or door isn’t vinyl, there’s the possibility of having rotting issues because of various weather conditions and moisture, or termite problems. Jeld-Wen is addressing the situation with AuraLast, a water-based wood protection process that offers practically complete surface-to-core protection. Jeld-Wen windows and wood door frames constructed with AuraLast wood are guaranteed not to rot for as long as the original homeowner occupies the house. We have introduced the MGM/Southern Rose, a painted vinyl window. It gives builders, homeowners and remodelers a lot of nice choices that meet most budgets, building codes and energy efficiency requirements. The choice of 19 colors is an added bonus. The window products include single hung, full jamb single hung, double hung, full jamb double hung (no brick mould), double hung (snap-in brick mould), full jamb double hung, and casement. There are two sliding patio doors and one hinged swing door.
Windows and Doors Andersen, DuPont Tyvec and other brands participate in contractorrewards.com, which has been generating a lot of interest in the building community. It’s a rewards program for residential and commercial builders, remodelers and trade contractors that rewards continuing brand loyalty. Points may be earned to recognize employees, reward new or repeat customers or provide incentives to the participants themselves.
There’s also a movement toward modern, New York loft-style doors that have simple horizontal lines rather than the traditional six panels. - Paul Miele
Andersen has brought out an iPad app that provides users interactive versions of its four most popular Home Style Library pattern books. The tablet-friendly apps give homeowners, architects, builders and remodelers easily accessible resources to understand and discuss the elements of architectural style at any stage of the building process. It’s pretty cool. Kevin Pollard Architectural Windows and Doors We’re widely using Andersen’s Fibrex exterior trim, particularly in Norton Commons windows and doors. The 3 ½” or 4 ½” wide trim attaches to doors and windows on the exterior to give them an older, brick mold look. It combines the strength and durability of wood with the maintenance ease of vinyl. It is twice as strong as vinyl so weather tight seals stay weather tight. Made of 40 percent wood fiber, mostly reclaimed from Andersen manufacturing processes, with 60 percent thermoplastic polymer, it is twice as strong as vinyl and retains its stability and rigidity in all climates. It resists rot, decay and fungus, and doesn’t flake, blister, peel, pit or corrode. And it blocks thermal transfer almost 700 times better than aluminum, reducing heating and cooling costs. Because no wood preservative treatments or painting is required, it also reduces VOC emissions. It is available preassembled or in pre-cut kits or individual trim components in length of trim and corner pieces, end caps and fasteners that can be put together on the job site. The selection of 11 exterior colors is really neat. The Andersen exterior trim accessories are good only for the 100 Series, 200 Series, 400 Series and the A Series. You could actually have the window painted black, the frame painted cream and the trim, such as brick mold or cornice, in red. There are literally hundreds of options. Changing the look of an everyday white window is fantastic. Customers may ask me about the cost of a window, just off the top of my head. If I tell them it’s around $150, they may think that sounds high. That may be sticker shock for them but they’re not taking into consideration the installation, painting and maintenance cost of a less expensive window. Therma-Tru just introduced its new Classic-Craft Canvas Collection, the company’s first premium, smooth fiberglass door. The design has wider (up to 25% wider), deeper, custom wood -like embossed center panels with a paintable surface, solid hardwood square edges, 20% heavier construction, top and bottom composite rails, and thicker fiberglass skins. The line features 15 door styles with 12 decorative, four privacy glass and clear Low-E glass options. Their appearance mirrors high-end custom wood doors as well as heavy-gauge steel doors. Their security, durability and energy efficiency features are those of a premium
fiberglass door system. The doors are ENERGY STAR qualified and there is a limited lifetime warranty on the doors and glass. The Therma-Tru Pulse line has new design and fiberglass grain options, providing a more modern design with interesting details that have a vintage character. They are perfect for upgrading Mid-Century Modern ranch and bungalow style homes from existing wood to fiberglass doors. A wide range of door styles and glass options are represented in the Ari, Solei, Echo and Linea lines. Matt Reynolds Window World A very important product now is the acrylic block window, an insulated unit, which is much lighter than glass and offers better UV values. It’s offered in a picture window, casement window and a basement hopper. Because it’s so light, the basement hopper actually tilts in and is a functional window with a screen. It’s revolutionary. Our French-style sliding patio doors have details such as a 5” top rail, a 7” bottom rail and a curved handle, all contributing to the high quality appearance. Their premium vinyl mainframe and sash extrusions, colored throughout, won’t chip, peel, crack or warp, and never need to be painted. The mainframe and sash have a double-wall design and multi-chambered construction for great strength and thermal protection. A 5” top rail, 7” bottom rail and 3” side rails feature mortised joints to achieve the French door look and charm. The 1” thick insulated glass unit with warm-edge spacer saves energy by reducing the transfer of heat and cold, and the dual internal/external weather stripping on the sash ensures optimal energy efficiency and performance. Steel reinforcements at the interlocks and lock rails increase strength, rigidity and structural integrity. Coved blazing beads add traditional beauty. The steel tandem roller system with nylon-encased steel wheels ensures quiet and easy operation of the door panel. Mainframe joints incorporate closed-cell foam gaskets for superior sealing. Additional features include deep interlocks with a bulb weather strip that deliver increased insulation and a tight seal, and a multi-point locking system with strong steel hook design that seals the door tightly closed and helps prevent energy loss. We’re doing a lot of entry doors in 18 colors, with the option of six stains, including two-tone finishes for internal or exterior use. There are several embossment options that provide a classic, authentic wood appearance, and 14 styles of glass. They also include various security hardware options from Schlage, optional 22 gauge steel doors for maximum protection against intrusion, steel reinforced jambs for increased security, rot-free composite rails and stiles, and energy efficiency door options, which include foam cores (R-value of 13). The Mahogany Collection is pricey but is one of our most popular lines. Those doors add a very elegant touch and are a rich standout for a house. There’s a design and a price for everyone, from an economy product to the highest end product. Our goal is to make windows and door attainable for any consumer, and have those products be ones that won’t have to be replaced every five years. Barry Terrell PC Home Center The Boman Kemp Basement Window Well System is awesome. In the last five or six years, we’ve sold over 700 of them. The window systems provide the opportunity to use the basement as livable space now or sometime in the future. But they’re also ideal for remodels because more july 2014 23
Windows and Doors and more people are doing retrofits and are adding a bedroom in the basement, which requires egress. The windows let in a lot of natural light into the basement, making it feel more like a family room. In the past, we’ve used a 16” x 12” window box, but that resulted in a damp, cold basement. The new system is a 4’ x 4’ window that isn’t very apparent from the outside. It’s kind of discreet; you have to carefully look to see it. They are available in two different wells---a natural stone and a three dimensional stone that resembles stacked stone. In some parts of the country, code requires you have this type of window on a flat lot. Kentucky hasn’t adapted that code yet, but it’s coming. Andersen Windows and Doors, and its subsidiary, Eagle Window & Door, worked with Honeywell to create VeriLock integrated security sensors. When paired with a Honeywell security system, the sensors detect whether windows and doors are locked or unlocked. The VeriLock sensors are built directly into the design of E-Series/ Eagle windows and doors, eliminating the need for wires or visible sensors, allowing the visual integrity of the windows and doors to be maintained. Energy Efficient Windows and Doors Windows and doors are critical components to the design of residential and commercial buildings because of their aesthetics as well as their energy efficient features. Although ENERGY STAR has established minimum energy performance rating criteria by climate, the
criteria don’t account for a home’s design, such as window orientation. Builders, remodelers and homeowners can all save time and money and increase energy performance by taking into account some guidelines offered by the U.S. Department of Energy. According to that agency, windows are an important element in passive solar home design, which may vary by building location and regional climate. But the basic window guidelines remain the same--select, orient and size glass to maximize solar heat gain in winter and minimize it in summer. To be effective, south facing windows should have a SHGC (solar heat gain coefficient) of greater than 0.6 to maximize solar heat gain during the winter, a U-factor of 0.35 or less to reduce conductive heat transfer, and a high visible transmittance for good visible light transfer. Because it is difficult to control heat and light through east- and westfacing windows when the sun is low in the sky, these windows should have a low SHGC and/or be shaded. Some types of glazing help reduce solar heat gain, lowering a window’s solar heat gain coefficient. Low-e coatings control heat transfer through windows with insulated glazing. Tinted glass absorbs a large fraction of incoming solar radiation through a window. Reflective coatings reduce the transmission of solar radiation, and spectrally selective coatings filter out 40% to 70% of the heat normally transmitted through insulated window glass or glazing, while allowing the full amount of light to be transmitted.

On May 8, 2014, The Oldham County Council met at the John W. Black Community Center. We would like to thank our sponsors: Carpet Specialists represented by Matt Majors. Our Carpet Specialists Gift Card winner was Michael Logsdon – Michael Logsdon Remax. Our first speaker was Property Value Administrator Candidate - Albert Harrison. Albert Harrison is a former chairman of Oldham County Reapportionment Committee, Oldham County Fire/EMS Task Force, Oldham-LaGrange Development Authority, & Planning and Zoning Commission representing the City of LaGrange. He also has history in the building industry. His early experience began in the mid 1950’s with his father who was a professional engineer and land surveyor. On June 1, 1974, he started his own company called Harrison Surveying & Engineering, Inc. The company name was later changed to Harrison Land Surveying, Inc. in 1976 and Albert Harrison began doing residential subdivision design and layout primarily in Oldham County. Albert Harrison said, “It was honorable to grow up in a family business. Currently there is no place for family in politics and I’d like to change that.” Our second speaker was Judge – Executive David Voegele. Judge Voegele graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in broadcasting and journalism in 1970. In 1972, he came to Kentucky to work as a television anchorman at WAVE-TV. Later, he was the Director of Communications and Spokesman for the Jefferson County Board of Education. Judge Voegele has 25 years of financial services experience as a representative of New York Life Insurance Company. He was an Oldham County Fiscal Court Magistrate from 2007 – 2010. In 2011, he became the Oldham County Fiscal Court Judge – Executive. Judge Voegele said, “In the building industry, you aren’t just selling homes, you’re selling a way of life. We need to rise to the level and raise the bar. We’re trying to reach the same success in government that you’re trying to reach in business. As Americans, we want life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We’re the same in the government; we want to support you.” Thank you to Property Value Administrator Candidate Albert Harrison and Judge – Executive David Voegele for speaking and to all who attended. Please join us for our next Oldham County Council meeting on September 25, 2014 at the John W. Black Community Center.
BULLITT County Council

On May 12, 2014, The Bullitt County Council met at MillaNova Winery in Mt. Washington. We would like to thank our sponsors: First Citizens Bank represented by Rick Clements and Hawkeye Security & Electronics represented by Tony Atherton. Our speaker was Congressman Brett Guthrie. Congressman Guthrie graduated in 1987 from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, with a degree in economics, and went on to serve as a Field Artillery Officer in the 101st Airborne Division - Air Assault at Fort Campbell. He later earned a Master’s Degree from Yale University in Public and Private Management. Congressman Guthrie comes from a small business, manufacturing background. Following his military service, he joined Trace Die Cast, the Bowling Green, Ky., based manufacturing business that was started by his father. First elected to public office in 1998, Congressman Guthrie represented the 32nd District in the Kentucky Senate. In Frankfort, he served on the Education Committee, the Economic Development, Tourism and Labor Committee, and chaired the Transportation Committee. Congressman Brett Guthrie represents Kentucky’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Second District is home to Fort Knox, Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace, Mammoth Cave National Park, and many of the Commonwealth’s most treasured locations. Congressman Guthrie said, “All of Bullitt County is a great treasure.” Our goal should be to ensure it remains that way. Congressman Guthrie went on to say, “We don’t want to have a pie where everyone has and equal piece. We want to focus on growing the pie and making it bigger.” In order to do so, we have to continue to promote growth and development in Bullitt County. Our Gross Domestic Product (GPD) needs to be at 3.5 to 4 percent instead of our projected 2 percent. We want an economy with more work opportunities and wealth. Thank you to Congressman Brett Guthrie for speaking and to all who attended. Our next Bullitt County Council meeting will be on August 12th.

The Associates Appreciation Picnic is August 24th! Mark your calendars for August 24th where there will be a gathering of Builders, Remodelers, Associates and their families at Tom Sawyer Park. There will be great food and entertainment for the adults and kids. We will also have our annual softball game of the Builders VS. Associates at the ball field located next to the picnic tent. If you plan to stay for the game, bring a lawn chair or an umbrella to sit under. It’s always a great competitive game with lots of laughs. Encourage your employees to attend with their families, this is a great way to meet people, enjoy old friends and have fun! We hope to see you there.
