Their march has been unstoppable, from traditional farmhouses and cosy country cottages all the way to the front rooms of suburban semis. No family home, it seems, is complete without a stylish wood-burning stove.

Official energy-saving efforts first began in 2007 by the University of Mary Washington Ecology Club. NORESCO, the energy consulting firm that was acquired by the United Technologies conglomerate in 2009 that provides the university’s air conditioning and heating, teamed up with UMW students who pledged to turn off the air conditioning when leaving the room. A representative from United Technologies could not be reached for comment.

It’s powered by two AA batteries, which should give it around two years of power before the cells need to be replaced.

So when and where can you get one? When? Logitech says soon. Where? The POP Smart Button Kit and POP Add-on Smart Buttons will, for a time, be exclusive to Apple stores and on Apple’s site. The Kit and Buttons will hit other retailers later this year. As for price, the POP is actually one of the least-expensive HomeKit-enabled products I’ve come across!

At this point Overall had no problem showing off the older machines and more traditional fabrication processes that he feels still serve the company well. On the shopfloor are a press brake and a guillotine that the company acquired many years ago. Additionally there is a folding machine that his father had manufactured in the early years of the company’s history and is unique to Coastal Manufacturing.

For domestic boilers outside of the cities, the government actively encourages wood burning through the renewable heat incentive subsidy. (This does not apply to the smaller wood stoves favoured in cities.) Those systems may bring some carbon savings, but only if the trees are replaced with new ones, and even then, it takes decades for the emitted carbon to be reabsorbed – a critical gap given the urgent need to slash greenhouse gas emissions. The picture is further complicated by the sooty black carbon in wood smoke, which is itself a driver of climate change, although less well-understood than carbon dioxide.

I noticed this for the first time years ago when I was reading engineering books from the 1920s and the authors were saying that designers needed to size the boilers and radiators for the coldest day of the year with the wind howling and with the windows open. Huh?

Eve Aqua is waterproof, and seems to install with very little fuss. All you need to do is connect it to your water spigot on one side, and your hose on the other. Once installed and set up via HomeKit, you’re good to go! With Eve Aqua, you can activate your sprinklers at any time using Siri, the Eve app, or the activation button on the device’s surface. And you don’t even need to worry about paying attention to the time to make sure your garden doesn’t get over-watered — Eve Aqua will automatically shut the water off for you, allowing you to go about the rest of your day confident that your outdoor chore has been done correctly. If you prefer to water at the same time every day, you can set Eve Aqua to rehydrate your lawn at specific times so you literally don’t even need to lift a finger to press the button. You don’t need to stress about your garden when you go on your much-needed summer vacation, either — when connected to a home hub, you can manage your sprinkler schedule from whatever beachside lounge chair you happen to be laying in with whatever hand isn’t holding a margarita.

If we cross the street to the West side of Second, we can look in the store window of the Corvallis Cyclery at the corner of Second and Adams, and see a plaque which tells us that it’s the former site of the Oregon Territorial capitol building. The Capitol itself is long gone but don’t be sad – I’ve seen pictures, and it was nothing much. Crossing Adams, we see a small rectangle of old concrete which says ADAMS ST. set into a much newer slab. A piece of the old sidewalk has been preserved when the new sidewalk was poured, but why don’t we mark sidewalks with street names these days? And why don’t contractors put their names and the date that the sidewalk was poured on their work? I think it’s a shame that the only dates we see on sidewalks are from the 1910s and 1920s.

There are also common steam heat problems that a TRV can’t fix. Steam systems mix metal pipes, water and air — a recipe for rust that can cripple valves and vents. If rust doesn’t get them, house painters are infamous for wrecking them with a coat of paint.
