Buildings that breathe
 Thanks to my long-time, French friend, Egard Benedetti, for sending me this fascinating video. It really made me think, which is quite unsettling. |

Like charts and graphs?
 This article is loaded with them, along with some eyebrow-raising remarks. Seems like chasing energy-efficiency truly is the way to go in the U.S. I'd love to hear your thoughts about that. And let's hope that some of those charts and graphs don't wind up in someone's PowerPoint presentation. Zzzzzzz. |

More energy-efficiency
 In a plant this time. I love simple solutions. They're often the best. As my mother always said (screamed, actually), CLOSE THE DOOR! Or, I suppose, put up fabric-curtain walls when you can't. She never actually said that, but you know what I mean. |

Plug loads
 And once we get done doing what we do best, that being getting the most out of those HVAC systems, here's another thing to consider. Forever more reasons to raise your eyebrows out there. |

In the world of Big Stuff
 There are wind-turbine farms. Last year, I drove through one of these sites in Northern Indiana. It took me 11 minutes at 70 mph to get though the place, which is why this story caught my eye. There's no sound in the video but I found the process spellbinding. |

Know beforehand
 Good story here about a new Web-based software that can analyze a building's efficiency during the design stage. Makes sense to me. You? |

Nothing to do with heating
 But a lot to do with LEED. My two questions: Is LEED going to get in trouble over this? And where the heck is the beer? Thanks to Erin Holohan Haskell for being fun and brilliant. |
