Albany, New York (PRWEB) July 28, 2014
Residential roofing comprises of installing roofs, sidings and drainage systems for roofs. On the basis of end use, residential roofing can be segmented as reroofing and new construction roofing. Historically, reroofing dominated the global residential roofing market and the trend is expected to continue. However, rising residential and commercial construction activities, particularly in Asia Pacific, is expected to drive the new construction roofing segment of the market.
Residential roofing employs several materials such as ceramic or concrete tiles, sheet metal, bricks, aluminum and polyurethanes among others. Acceptance of roofing materials is dependent on various factors such as durability, ease in installation, energy efficiency and government regulations.

Demand for residential roofing is profoundly dependent on the growth of construction industry. The reroofing segment is mainly driven by disposable income and new product development. New construction segment is driven by growing population and overall economy growth rate. Natural calamities and government regulations are amongst the other drivers for the residential roofing industry. Economic slowdown has been a major restraint for industry growth. Increasing demand for energy efficient homes is expected to offer huge growth opportunities for the industry.
Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the growth of new construction roofing mainly owing to the developing economies of India and China. Major roofing materials employed in the Asia Pacific region include asphalt shingles, metal roofing and roofing tiles. In developed economies of North America and Europe, several government regulations have been imposed to improve the energy efficiency of homes. Energy efficient and easy to install materials such as spray polyurethane foams is expected to gain market share in North America. The rest of the world regions are mainly driven by the increasing demand from Middle East and Latin American countries.
Some of the market players in the residential roofing market include BASF AG, Atlas Roofing Corp., Johns Manville, Knauf Insulation Inc., Lapolla, Bayer, Saint-Gobain, Owens Corning, GAF Materials Corp., Sika Sarnafil Inc., Rockwool Group, Royal Group Inc., and CertainTeed among others.

High summer temperatures can take a toll on energy use in Texas. In its second year, Austin Energy is taking steps to help conserve energy while summer demands are high. With its Power Partner Thermostat program, Austin Energy is working with smart thermostat maker, ecobee, to help customers lower their energy bill and participate in demand response events.
When customers enroll in the program and install an ecobee Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostat, they will receive an $85 rebate as well as additional energy-saving opportunities on their bill.
Austin Energy was one of the first utility companies to implement a smart thermostat program with a rebate incentive for their customers, said Stuart Lombard, CEO and President, ecobee. With the program running for a second year in a row, we will see greater participation and awareness about the importance of reducing demand to save on energy bills and lessen the burden on the grid.
With heating and cooling accounting for 50 percent of a homes energy bill, the ecobee smart thermostat will help Austin Energy customers make informed decisions about their homes energy use. Homeowners can monitor and control their thermostat from anywhere, using a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The thermostat also understands the weather outside and a homes energy performance to optimize for energy savings.
Participating customers will also help reduce energy use when it matters most during high use periods. This helps customers lower their monthly energy bill and helps Austin Energy avoid unplanned outages. Participation is voluntary and customers choose to opt-in or out when they like.
Internet-connected thermostats, like ecobee, give our customers greater control of their comfort and savings, said Debbie Kimberly, VP of Customer Energy Solutions, Austin Energy.

Boulder building permits: July 28, 2014
Downtown Davenport is becoming one of the hottest Quad-City addresses as developers race to snap up some of the area's solid, but tired, office and warehouse buildings to reinvent themas loft housing.
In the past year alone, dozens of new apartments have been carved out of iconic buildings including The Renwick, Wells Fargo bank building, Peterson Paper and, only weeks ago, the former Democrat newspaper office building.
According to Kyle Carter, executive director of the Downtown Davenport Partnership, these and other projects that have opened in recent years represent nearly $31 million in new investment in the downtown core. Plus, nearly another 300 units part of an expected $113 million in new investment planned over the next two years are on the drawing board or under construction.
"We're creeping up on 1,000 (total) units downtown," he said, adding that the downtown will crack the number when some of those projects under construction are completed. Just a few include Union Arcade, which will add 68 units; The Lofts at Pershing Hills, 60 units; Halligan Coffee Building, 45 units; Market Lofts, 37 units; and Alexander Co.'s latest warehouse lofts at 500 Iowa St., 33 units.
Carter credits Alexander Cos. for launching the warehouse district's revival with Crescent Lofts, but he never forgets to applaud developers such as Jim Thomson who were creating downtown apartments before it was the thing to do. Thomson's early projects included The Davenport and The Berg. He now is part of a partnership renovating the United Cigar Building. "He was the first," Carter added.
But other developers alsoare leaving their mark, including Amrit and Amy Gill, whose Restoration St. Louis and Front Door Iowa companies have renovatedproperties such as Hotel Blackhawk, Forrest Block, Renwick and sometime in December, Market Lofts on Pershing Avenue. The Gills also are behind a planned $60 million City Square projectthat will transform a half-city block that houses the former Parker and Putnam buildings along 2nd Street.
Amy Gill said the volume of available downtown inventory has helped fuel some of the resurgence. "I don't think it will keep going forever. But I do think it's indicative of the fact there is great stock of buildings down there and they are all pretty interesting and cool. To find them vacant and in relatively good shape, that is relatively unusual."
But Carter said the number of available properties prime for redevelopment is dwindling. "There are only a couple in the core of downtown left before we start focusing on the west side from Ripley to Brown streets." Since the warehouse lofts, the hotel's historic renovation and projects such as Forrest Block, he said "it's been a mad dash to build these as fast as we can."
Since last summer, two projects to open their doors are The Renwick and the Democrat Lofts. Located on opposite corners of 4th and Brady streets, the two are finding tenants from all walks of life whoare eager to become downtown dwellers.
The Democrat Lofts a $6 million historic renovation by Bettendorf developers Tim Baldwin and Pat Sherman has only seven units still available for lease, said Danielle Boulton, area manager for Bluffstone, which manages the lofts. In fact, over a two-day period last week, she had five new leases signed. ''It's been fast-paced, but they sell themselves. We're very modern with a historic twist.''

Your Moneys Worth: Homes between $447,000 and $453,000
By Donna Reed
Think "I Love Lucy." Better yet, think "The Three Stooges" minus one. Now you'll have a picture in your mind of our comical yet best-of-intentions recent house projects. Our son had just bought his first home and was away on vacation. My husband and I decided that since it was summer, and we had the time, we would take this opportunity to travel north a few hours and lend a hand at the new house. Our son agreed saying he could use help with two things ... the sprinkler system wasn't working correctly and his plants would need watering before his return. If we could help with those two tasks, he could handle everything else.
Our first night on the job we tried to close the dining room blinds. Those long, lovely vertical blinds had a mind of their own, and the more we pulled cords and twisted individual blinds, the worse it got. With The Project Man, my husband, taking charge, I gave up and went to bed. Some time after midnight my husband woke me ... not to say good night, but to tell me he had no idea what he had done to the blinds, and first thing in the morning he would have to call someone to repair them. I turned over and remembered our son's words, "all I need help with, Mom, is the sprinkler system and watering the plants." So much for day one.
The next morning I woke early, and after staring at the closed and twisted blinds for a while, I began to investigate other rooms in this new house. I thought having my coffee in the sunroom would be a pleasant way to start the day, so I pulled a sliding door that opens into the sunroom with no results. (Little did I know that it was just a stubborn, old, in-need-of-some-oil sliding door.) "It must be locked," I thought, and I turned the locking device to open the room. Now, it really was locked, and we had no keys to any of the interior doors, since "all we needed to do was check on the sprinkling system and water the plants."
After the blinds incident and the locked sunroom, one would think we had learned our lesson, but just as Lucy and Ethel ventured deeper into their comedies of error, so did Project Man and his sidekick. We tore down paneling in the basement to expose water leaking in through a window, and the next few hours were spent with a squeegee and paper towels trying to contain the wet mess.
Outside the house was fair game as well. Without a pole-saw for cutting dead limbs out of a backyard oak tree, Project Man borrowed our faithful dog's 20 foot stake-out lead, climbed up on the flat roof, lassoed branches (Will Rogers would have been proud) and pulled them down.
When that method was no longer useful, he used a 2-by-4 like a javelin, and, leaning forward on the roof, like the winged Mercury, he hurled the 2-by-4 toward higher unruly limbs, bringing them down with a crash as well. No broken bones or windows; we were so lucky! Although neither the dog lead nor the 2-by-4 were in my hands, I knew that I was just as guilty since I was the accomplice in these little fiascos. I could see it now ... a judge would issue a restraining order stating that we had to stay away from our son's home when he was not present! From behind his lofty bench, the judge would shake his gavel and say, "Why didn't you just look at the sprinkler system and water the plants?"
Like a chocoholic who craves the sweet treat or a Lay's potato chip fan (bet you can't eat just one) it was too late to reverse our path, and our need to complete "just one more task" was out of control. We pulled weeds, dug out contrary vines, cleaned gutters, interviewed lawn mowing companies, got a bid from a contractor on a basement remodel, planted flowers, pruned rose bushes, hung pictures, bought new door mats and bathroom rugs, raked the yard and tarred a leak in the roof.
We left for home the third day. I was afraid we might start to build on a new addition if we stayed any longer. The sprinkler system? It's still not working. The plants? They could probably use another good watering about now, but I think we will leave that to the new homeowner.

Voices: With the best of intentions
Shae Marie and Dale Eickhoffs Jefferson City home at 1214 Elmerine St. has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. Emma Kessinger/News Tribune
When Shae Marie Eickhoff walked into 1214 Elmerine St. 11 years ago for the first time, she knew she had found her home.
As she and her husband, Dale, have entertained friends, family and theater parties there, repeatedly guests likewise praise the welcoming atmosphere.
Named a city Landmark this year, the Eickhoff home joins several in the nostalgic neighborhood on the list. And it also was included in the Moreau Drive Historic District, recently added to the National Register of Historic Places.
We love that its an older home; thats what adds character, Shae Marie said.
The foursquare-style home with craftsman influences was built in 1915. It is one of the oldest of the stone and brick homes along the street.
The frame of the exterior has not changed in the homes century, including the central gable atop two and one-half stories. However, the porchs brick piers have been enclosed.
Inside, herringbone hardwood floors in the foyer and other rooms are original, as well as two original, delicate light fixtures.
When the Eickhoffs replaced the front room carpeting, they discovered a Nov. 29, 1930, Kansas City Star underneath the old layer. So, they followed tradition and placed a present-day News Tribune underneath the new.
Fortuitously, the homes floor plan is almost identical to the Indiana home where Shae Marie grew up. So their children, Natalie and Alex, grew up in a similar home.
