Pangea Does It Again….

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:56:32 +0000

The Pangea team recently completed additional site improvements in preparation for the Estates at Palmer Creek in Columbia, IL. Activities performed included the removal of the vacant former rental house, excavation of abandoned utilities, site landscaping and seeding. The corner lot where the former rental house was located has now been affectionately labeled “Pangea Park” by the local populace and the Pangea team who will utilize the area for its future home sales office. Many thanks again to all those who assisted in the effort to the improve and beautify the Quarry, Palmer and Rueck road corridor(s) and to make the entrance to the Estates at Palmer Creek an even more inviting place. Happy Spring 2012!!!

What A Savings!!!

Green Product Review #2: Black & Decker’s Thermal Leak Detector helps reduce energy costs by finding energy leaks in your home. You’ll instantly identify problem areas around drafty windows and doors, and uncover hidden leaks and insulation “soft spots” around electrical outlets, recessed lights, and along floor molding. Shine the light on the wall and set the reference temperature. Reference temperature shows surface deviation from reference temp. Move the light around your house. When the temp changes by 1, 5 or 10 degrees F (user adjustable), the light will change to red or blue to indicate a hot or cold spot. Energy Star states that plugging the leaks and drafts in your home can save up to 20% off your heating and cooling energy costs. Pretty impressive!!!

Making Sense of it All

Simple and relatively inexpensive ways currently exist for one to take advantage of the many scientific advances being made in “green” technology. This is great news for the residential real estate owner and potential home-buyer’s bottom line. As there is an ever-increasing amount of new “green” products appearing on the market each month, the Pangea Team has decided to highlight a few (existing or upcoming) on a bi-weekly basis. Enjoy!

Green Product Review #1: What $50 investment can you make that can possibly pay you back in one month? Simple, investigate a programmable thermostat! A programmable thermostat can save you money on your utility bill – up to 30%, if used as directed. You set it up to adjust the desired temperature when you are away from home or asleep – when you don’t necessarily need optimum comfort – and your heater or air conditioner equipment runs less. Plus, your heating or cooling comes back to a comfort level automatically when you come home or wake up. In addition, many of these units carry the EPA’s EnergyStar® rating and are designed to be very easy to use.

Pangea on the Road

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 13:57:31 +0000

Both Terry and I recently hit the road to promote Pangea’s real estate development efforts in the St. Louis Metro East market. Terry was in Chicago to attend the recent Building Green Chicago Conference & Expo. Over 300 real estate, construction, design, education, government and other professionals committed to sustainable initiatives were in attendance from the city and the private sector to discuss the state of green design in Chicago.

I spent time in our great state’s capitol of Springfield meeting with representatives from DCEO (the IL Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity), the state legislature and other various individuals involved in the St. Louis Metro East effort to craft a solution to the looming implementation of the new Federal Emergency Management Agency flood maps. U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and U.S. Representative Jerry Costello are working hard to address this issue and formulate a way to protect those affected while addressing FEMA’s concerns. Pangea Development believes in responsible, low-impact development in all areas and is encouraged by the tremendous local efforts of many civic and business leaders who have taken a proactive role to ensure that the voices of those in the public and private sector are heard and considered. While in the capitol I also spent some quality time drumming up support for Pangea’s latest endeavor, The Estates at Palmer Creek, and bringing our leaders and reps up to date on Pangea’s efforts to create Metro East jobs while providing a quality built, amenity-rich residential development in Columbia, IL.

A Great Night

The Pangea Team recently spent a nice evening watching some great rinkside hockey compliments of the folks at Trumpet Builders & Land Services, LLC. Trumpet is a world-class green builder based in the St. Louis area and one that Pangea is hoping to work with on future endeavors. Jeff Day, Principal of Jeff Day Associates, Architecture & Planning, was also present for the night’s festivities and lively conversation about sustainable development and current St. Louis Metro East market challenges and opportunities. It was good to be in the company of such talent and the Blue’s brought home a winner on top of it. Thanks again to Paul, Jeff and Terry.
