Know Your Water Footprint

November/December, 2011

(NAPS)—Most people have heard of their carbon footprint but have you heard of your water footprint?

On one hand, the United States has an abundance of water, al­most 8 percent of the world’s freshwater resources, but only 4.5 percent of the world’s population. On the other hand, the average American’s water footprint, the total amount of water directly and indirectly used, is nearly twice the world’s average. You can calculate your water footprint at www.waterfootprint.org.

Water Conservation Tips • Take a short shower instead of a bath. A five- to 10-minute shower uses less water than a full bathtub.

• Install a Bell & Gossett Autocirc™ hot water circulator in the bathroom under the sink and it can save an average family of four more than 12,000 gallons of water a year by eliminating the need to wait for the water to get hot.

• Shower during the warmer part of the day and use cooler water.

Showering during the heat of the day is a great way to reduce your hot water consumption.

• Install a more efficient shower fixture: Efficient fixtures maintain high pressure while lowering the amount of water used.

• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.

• Use a drip irrigation system instead of a hose or sprinkler to water your garden.

• Direct the water drain line from your air conditioner to a flower bed, tree base or onto your lawn.

• Set up a rain barrel under a rain gutter outside your house. You can catch hundreds of gallons to use for watering the lawn, washing the car, etc.

Trust Your Senses To Pick The Right Color For Your Home (NAPS)—The next time you paint your house, close your eyes. The colors you see are the ones that may suit you best.

Instead of staring at the outer walls, concentrate on your inner emotions. The process of choosing paint colors may involve sifting through hundreds of hues, but decorators have discovered the final selections are almost in­evitably tied to the homeowner’s emotional connection to a particular color.

Every color has an emotional association, and individuals are drawn to different colors for reasons depending on their distinct personalities. The feelings that stem from the five senses are the best sources to identify meaningful colors best suited for your personality, style and interests. What helps homeowners feel most comfortable and confident with their color choices is recognizing the role your reactions to color play in your home decor.

According to color expert Dee Schlotter, “Color preferences are unique, and choosing a color is a personal exercise.” She believes that the feelings specific colors elicit are a subconscious reaction based on past experiences and associations. “Many times, we’re not even aware of why we like a color or how certain colors, when paired together, make us feel,” adds Schlotter.

Tips On Picking Colors When choosing colors, basing your decisions on an accent piece that you love, such as a piece of art, can help make the selection process simpler. Consider these tips: • Work with a few colors. As a general rule, you should assign 60 percent of the available space to one color, called dominant; 30 percent to another, called intermediate; and 10 percent to an accent color. Using too many colors in the same room is likely to create confusion rather than harmony.

• Keep in mind the effects colors may have on your moods. This will help you in deciding which color should be dominant, intermediate and accent.

• Determine the elements of your decor that you don’t intend to change, such as the floor, for example. Be sure their colors will blend nicely in your scheme.

To find the personal color palettes that reflect your personality, you can try the online color tools available at the PPG Pittsburgh Paints The Voice of Color website at www.voiceofcolor.com. There, you can also find the free Color Sense Game to help you determine your emotional connections to various objects, so you can select a color palette that’s right for you.

November/December, 2011

Get Rid Of Household Hazards (NAPS)—Make safety a priority in your home when you clean. Here are tips to help: Living Room/Dining Room • S ecure all bookcases, shelving and heavy furniture. Place heavier items on lower shelves and in bottom drawers.

• Many houseplants are poisonous and pots are heavy, so keep them out of reach of little hands.

• Use plug protectors for all unused wall outlets.

Bathroom • To prevent bathwater scalds, set the thermostat of your hot water heater no higher than 120 degrees F. It takes just three seconds for a child to sustain a third degree burn at 140 degrees F. • Always request child-resis­tant packaging for medicine, but go a step further by making sure medicine cabinets are locked at all times. Even items that may seem harmless can be dangerous to a child.

Kitchen • Keep sharp knives and other utensils well out of reach and make sure that knife blades are pointing down when placed in a dishwasher’s cutlery basket.

• When cooking, always use the back burners, turn pot handles toward the back of the stove and keep hot foods and liquids away from young children.

• And make sure microwaves are out of reach of children as well; the vast majority of micro­wave burns among children are serious scald burns.

Bedroom • Make sure cribs are properly assembled and meet current safety standards, and that crib mattresses fit snugly.

• According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, infants and young children can die from accidentally strangling in window cords. The Window Covering Safety Council reminds parents and caregivers of potential window-cord dangers and urges them to make the right choice and use only cordless window products in homes with young children. Owners and renters should replace all corded window coverings made before 2001 with today’s safer products. Visit www.windowcoverings. org for a free retrofit kit or call (800) 506-4636.

Put A Damper On Mold And Musty Odors (NAPS)—Musty odors coming from the basement or crawlspace are not only extremely unpleasant but can be both dangerous and expensive to correct if left untreated.

Excess moisture is the most common problem in basements and crawlspaces—either coming from outside or produced inside the home by everyday activities.

Studies show that as much as 50 percent of the air in a home comes from the basement or crawlspace. In essence, whatever air is below the house is also inside the house. This can contribute to poor indoor air quality and cause uncomfortably high humidity levels. It may lead to costly problems such as cupping of hardwood floors, mold growth, increased air conditioner loads and swelling of millwork and cabinetry. Millions of Americans battle high humidity levels in their homes.

If you store anything of value in your basement or if you use your basement as living space, it is important to keep the moisture levels low. Relative humidity levels rising above 50 percent stimulate the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria and other biological allergens, which generate musty odors and can aggravate allergies.

Several organizations, including the Environmental Protection Agency, American Lung Association and American Medical Association, recommend using dehumidifiers to maintain humidity levels of 60 percent or less in the home.

High-capacity dehumidifiers, such as the ones from Santa Fe, are the most energy efficient on the market and are designed to effectively operate in the cooler temperatures of a basement or crawlspace. The units help maintain the structural integrity of your home, inhibit mold growth and improve the indoor air quality of your home by removing odor-causing moisture.

“Humidity has been a constant problem in our basement and my fear was that if the humidity was not addressed, that mold would eventually develop,” said one homeowner. “The small dehumidifiers I had tried had almost no impact. The Santa Fe took the humidity from over 70 percent down to 40 percent overnight. This was absolutely amazing, as our basement is 2,000 square feet with separate rooms. It feels more comfortable and smells better.”

The dehumidifier line features an oversized moisture removal coil, regenerative heat exchanger and highcapacity fan, which let the units remove two to three times more moisture per kilowatt of electricity than a conventional dehumidifier. All Santa Fe dehumidifiers feature superior air filtration, capturing allergens down to 1 micron in size.

Brighten Up: Increase Outdoor Living Safety And Ambience With Deck Lighting (NAPS)—With the proper lighting, family and friends can enjoy good times outdoors long into the evening without being left in the dark. To make sure the fun doesn’t have to end when the sun goes down, consider these four simple suggestions to select deck lighting that creates a warm and inviting backyard: • Go for the Glow—Choose lighting that won’t flood your deck with light but instead casts a natural and subtle glow that produces understated silhouettes.

Install a dimmer switch so you can adjust the mood as the evening progresses and a timer to set lights to turn on automatically after dusk and fade away before the sun rises.

• Let Your Décor Shine—Today’s deck lighting comes in a variety of styles and should be a beautiful finishing touch that coordinates seamlessly with decking and railing. Think about the outdoor spaces where you spend the most time or the favorite elements of your home’s exterior and highlight appropriately.

Recessed lighting installs flush on deck boards to light a path or accent a design, while riser lights keep stairways safe and create festive patterns. Install rail lights on posts to illuminate the deck below and integrate post cap lights for a warm downward glow that marks the way.

• Cut Energy Costs—Long-life LED deck lighting is best for both the environment and your electricity bill.

For instance, new Trex DeckLighting™ operates for up to 40,000 hours of life and uses 75 percent less energy than conventional incandescent lighting. LED options also prevent voltage drops, which means the last light in the series is just as bright as the first.

• Lighten the (Work) Load—To spend more time relaxing outdoors, select lighting that may be installed on a new or existing deck in just one weekend. Trex Deck-Lighting also significantly reduces time spent maintaining. Weatherproof, salt air resistant and offering the extra security of a seven-year warranty, it’s guaranteed to retain a “like new” appearance for years to come—while its long life ensures you won’t need to constantly replace lightbulbs.

“The best deck lighting not only helps you save money on maintenance and energy costs, but also significantly extends the amount of time you’re able to spend enjoying outdoor living spaces,” said Adam Zambanini, vice president of marketing for Trex, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing. “Choose a lighting collection that offers flexible design options, while also providing a strong return on investment and creating a more inviting outdoor living environment.”
