NPR appeared to emphasize the 'no gas' angle in their coverage, but they didn’t include much of the information I shared about passive home design, which was the primary focus of our conversation. I’m hopeful that the written story will provide a more comprehensive view and include those key details. #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter LA rebuilds after wildfires, climate activists want people to go all-electric. https://one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5345817:nx-s1-5408183-1

Looking for a reliable insulation that reduces noise and resists fire? Here’s a link to an info guide on a well-known mineral wool product that does both really well. #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter https://www.rockwool.com/syssiteassets/o2-rockwool/documentation/technical-bulletins/residential/building-with-stone-wool-in-wildfire-prone-areas.pdf?f=20250326145011

It’s probably a little early in our rebuilding process to start thinking about insulation—I agree with you. But when you're ready, here’s a guide to help you learn about different insulation products #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter https://informed.habitablefuture.org/product-guidance/7-insulation

Johnson says the main reason these low-carbon homes are still so rare is because contractors don’t know how to build them yet. “We need to open our eyes to simple, low-tech, already existing things you can do,” he says as he shows off the Ventura house. “If anything, the construction of this home is lower tech in many ways than a new stick-framed home. There’s less engineering. [We’re] just using basic things from nature to create a home.” #EatonCanyonFire #AltadenaStrong #LAStrong #FireResilience #PassiveHouse #LowerCostOfOwnership #BuildBackAltadenaBetter

“I've had an idea about straw since the 60s,” he tells KCRW as he leads a tour of the home. “There's, I don't know, 10 different methods of making a house without using two by fours and two by sixes, and cutting down forests.” But, he says, as long as it’s easy to use lumber, that’s what builders will do. “There’s just the inertia. And so I wanted to do something about it. And we did.” The straw naturally provides insulation, keeping the home’s energy bills very low. It’s packed so tightly that it isn’t susceptible to mold or fire. The Malibu house and the straw bale house both have heat pumps, EV chargers, induction stoves, and solar panels. Thus, they’re cheaper to run than a home that uses fossil-fuel alternatives. Installing those electric options can be more expensive, but that’s why the federal government is stepping in with rebates to make the eco-friendly option just as affordable.

While cleaning out my email inbox, an email on ?? caught my eye. Zero-carbon homes exist. Can you really live in one? https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/kcrw-features/net-zero-carbon-house "That means it doesn’t cost more to build than the traditional alternative ... There’s a much humbler, 2000-square-foot home in a quiet Ventura neighborhood that’s just as eco-friendly as the one in Malibu. It looks like all the homes nearby. “We wanted it to look as normal as it could to essentially appeal to anybody that would want to live in a neighborhood like this,” says design architect Dylan Johnson, who built the house. There’s a clue to what’s different about the house behind a small peekaboo door in the hallway wall. It reveals what the house is made of: straw ... Rice straw stores carbon from its previous life growing in a field in the Sacramento Valley, and is cheaper than conventional building materials ...

Hey folks. I am back from Spring Break and ready to continue to share out information on Build Back Altadena Better Today, I want to share a helpful resource for anyone in the process of rebuilding their home. A lot of people have been reaching out to friends, family, community groups—and to me—asking if there’s a centralized place to find professionals like architects, permit expeditors, consultants, builders, and more.
