SANDOWN Surplus money from the current district budget will be used to remove the sidewalk and repave the driveway at Sandown North Elementary School.

The Timberlane Regional School Board approved using $85,000 in surplus funds for the work, which will address safety concerns at the school.

Probably the most slip and falls of any of our schools have been up at Sandown North, said district facilities manager Jim Hughes.

The granite curbing for the sidewalk has deteriorated over the years, creating a tripping hazard for those at the school, according to Hughes.

The work will consist of tearing up the sidewalk as well as repaving the school driveway and parking lot. The sidewalk will then be even with the driveway and delineated with paint, rather than a curb, according to Hughes.

School Board Chair Nancy Steenson said the safety issue with the sidewalk has been a recurring theme during her four years on the boards safety committee. She said every year has seen insurance claims from people tripping and falling in front of the school.

Its not a potential safety hazard, it is and has been a real safety hazard, said Steenson.

Although the planned work extends beyond the pavement near the sidewalk, Hughes said the driveway has been in poor shape for years and it makes sense to do the entire project at once.

School Board member Donna Green asked if it would be possible to price the sidewalk work separately from the entire paving project.

Its not worth it, Hughes said. Youll already have the equipment mobilized there. Its better to do it right the first time.

He wondered if he could do that with Portofino a 23-unit upscale townhome development planned for Jacksonvilles Intracoastal area and how expensive it would be.

Gonzales, a managing partner at Urban Partners Construction, would eventually include smartphone-controlled light switches, thermostats, door looks and garage-door openers as standard features in his design. Thats for homes starting in the high $200,000s.

Its crazy for me not to use it, Gonzales said. Were in the 21st century. I dont want to build a 19th or 20th-century home. Why other people arent doing this, I have no idea.

Home automation, for decades the province of wealthy consumers purchasing custom systems for $10,000 to $100,000 and more, is now finding its way into middle America.

Armed with a cellphone and Wi-Fi connection, homeowners can automate air conditioning, lights, locks, cameras, garage doors and electrical outlets by purchasing off-the-shelf products or paying a monthly service contract from a home automation vendor.

This used to be a very expensive platform, Gonzales said. Now because of apps, you can download for free. Its a very efficient and cost-effective way of getting the same technology.

In the Jacksonville area, cable and telecom companies Comcast and AT&T offer basic smart home systems. Also, some security companies like ADT offer home automation as an add-on service.

Builders, too, are starting to preinstall home automation.

Preferred Builders Inc. of Old Greenwich has been awarded a Housing Innovation Award by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

The Housing Innovation Awards recognize elite builders who design and create high-performance, energy-efficient homes.

Housing Innovation Award winners are leading a major housing industry transformation to zero energy ready homes. This level of performance is the home of the future because it improves the way Americans live by substantially reducing or eliminating utility bills, ensuring engineered comfort way beyond traditional homes, protecting health with a comprehensive package of indoor air quality measures, and helping maximize the largest investment of a lifetime, DOE Building Technologies Office Chief Architect Sam Rashkin said in a statement.

Sustainability is a growing concern for the U.S. housing industry, prompting the DOE to celebrate those who push the boundaries of standard design to create zero energy-ready homes. Preferred Builders was chosen as the grand winner in the custom category of the 2013 Housing Innovation Awards for a house completed in 2012.

That home was just the second in the country to earn Challenge Home certification, and was awarded LEED Platnium and National Green Building Standard Emerald level certifications as well. The 2,700 neo-colonial house is fitted with a solor PV system on the roof.

Preferred Builders Inc. of Old Greenwich, was selected as the grand winner in the Custom Builder category. Completed in October 2012, the home was the second in the country to earn Challenge Home certification and has also earned other green building awards including LEED Platinum and National Green Building Standard Emerald level certifications. The 2,700-square-foot Neo-Colonial earned a home energy rating (HERS) Index score of 20. The projected annual utility costs for the home is just $910 when the projected $1,509 annual revenue from the solar PV system is taken into account.

Preferred Builders owner Peter Fusaro, claims that the gas bill for the property from November through January was only $292, while the electric bill showed a credit of $558.
