Window Repair & Retrofit: Studies + Research
The effort to quantify restored window thermal performance and reduce material and manufacturing impacts to the environment has made a difference in how the building industry has responded to existing window repair. Retention of historic windows have become incorporated into efficiency ratings and building codes. Existing areas of qualified historic buildings to remain are exempt from energy codes. Building codes include a "performance" method for analysis of the overall thermal performance of the building envelope, as opposed to the "prescription" method that requires the performance of each individual part to meet specific standards.
All the studies listted here examine the test results of original window repair and other conservation strategies with  new window replacement to compare energy efficiency and impacts on the environment.

13 Things to Know About Retrofitting Historic Windows
Julia Rocchi discusses how historic windows often get the blame for a building’s energy loss in this article from the National Trust. In it, Ms. Rocchi identifies issues and goals that consumers should consider when determining how to repair therir windows. The article includes a slide show, which is shared here.
Ms. Rocchi also promotes the National Trust report from the Preservation Green Lab in Seattle, "Saving Windows, Saving Money: Evaluating the Energy Performance of Window Retrofit and Replacement" (reviewed below) which is also useful when planning historic window repair.

 
National Trust for Historic Preservation Window Evaluation
A report produced by the National Trust for Historic Preservation Green Lab provides cost guidance for homeowners weighing the financial and energy tradeoffs between replacing or repairing older, less efficient windows. This report, "Saving Windows, Saving Money: Evaluating the Energy Performance of Window Retrofit and Replacement", builds on previous research by examining multiple window improvement options, comparing them to replacement windows across multiple climate regions.
Key findings offer homeowners, contractors, architects and others with compelling evidence of the merits of retrofitting windows as opposed to outright replacement:

Retrofit measures can achieve performance results comparable to new replacement windows. This study shows that there are readily available retrofit measures that can achieve energy savings close to new, high performance replacement windows when the performance for each upgrade option is taken into account.

Almost every retrofit option Offers a better Return on Investment (ROI) than replacement windows.
Training and Career Pathways | California Conservation Corps
When it’s time to put the training into practice, the work they are assigned is meaningful and often leads to a career opportunity.
Corpsmembers routinely work closely with – and receive on-the-job training from – supervisors at agencies like CAL FIRE, U.S. Forest Service, Caltrans, State Parks, and the National Park Service. Additionally, supervisors at private companies oversee Corpsmembers working on electrical, construction, and specialized CCC projects.
The hands-on experience Corpsmembers receive lets them understand the “why” behind the task and it provides them a jump start on future careers or further education.
The skills they earn from working on CCC projects transfer directly to a range of career pathways, including firefighting, trails, energy, construction, corps leadership, and more.

(iii) Shall describe how the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets would be achieved by the alternative planning strategy, and why the development pattern, measures, and policies in the alternative planning strategy are the most practicable choices for achievement of the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.(iv) An alternative development pattern set forth in the alternative planning strategy shall comply with Part 450 of Title 23 of, and Part 93 of Title 40 of, the Code of Federal Regulations, except to the extent that compliance will prevent achievement of the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets approved by the state board.(v) For purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with
	 Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code), an alternative planning strategy shall not constitute a land use plan, policy, or regulation, and the inconsistency of a project with an alternative planning strategy shall not be a consideration in determining whether a project may have an environmental effect.(I) (i) Prior to starting the public participation process adopted pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 65080, the metropolitan planning organization shall submit a description to the state board of the technical methodology it intends to use to estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from its sustainable communities strategy and, if appropriate, its alternative planning strategy. The state board shall respond to the metropolitan planning organization in a timely manner with written comments about the technical methodology, including specifically describing any aspects of that
	 methodology it concludes will not yield accurate estimates of greenhouse gas emissions, and suggested remedies. The metropolitan planning organization is encouraged to work with the state board until the state board concludes that the technical methodology operates accurately.(ii) After adoption, a metropolitan planning organization shall submit a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy, if one has been adopted, to the state board for review, including the quantification of the greenhouse gas emission reductions the strategy would achieve and a description of the technical methodology used to obtain that result. Review by the state board shall be limited to acceptance or rejection of the metropolitan planning organization’s determination that the strategy submitted would, if implemented, achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets established by the state board. The state board shall complete its review
	 within 60 days.

Corpsmembers Journey to Patagonia

Corpsmembers look toward the Andean Mountain Range in Torres Del Paine National Park.

The California Conservation Corps is no stranger to rugged terrain and steep slopes, since 1976 Corpsmembers have weathered the elements and created hundreds of miles of trails across California. Recently, however, one CCC crew ventured beyond the Sierras to engage in a month-long cultural exchange program in Patagonia. 
“My whole life I’ve grown up in a city,” said Corpsmember Gigi Munoz, “being out here to work on trails has been a blessing.” 
Up in the Andes, the CCC crew partnered with local Chilean workers as well as volunteers from around the globe to restore and expand the trail network in the Torres Del Paine National Park.  
“We were removing brush, threading, and preparing a bridge crossing that will probably get finished next year,” said Corpsmember Axel Rodriguez. “The original trail was made by horses,” added Corpsmember Alina Ramirez, “We were doing this so people can get through more easily and safely.”
Bill Text - SB-375 Transportation planning: travel demand models: sustainable communities strategy: environmental review.
Appropriation:
 NO  
 Fiscal Committee:
 YES  
 Local Program:
 YES  Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) The transportation sector contributes over 40 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in the State of California; automobiles and light trucks alone contribute almost 30 percent. The transportation sector is the single largest contributor of greenhouse gases of any sector.(b) In 2006, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed Assembly Bill 32 (Chapter 488 of the Statutes of 2006; hereafter AB 32), which requires the State of California to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels no later than 2020. According to the State Air Resources Board, in 1990 greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and
	 light trucks were 108 million metric tons, but by 2004 these emissions had increased to 135 million metric tons.(c) Greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and light trucks can be substantially reduced by new vehicle technology and by the increased use of low carbon fuel. However, even taking these measures into account, it will be necessary to achieve significant additional greenhouse gas reductions from changed land use patterns and improved transportation. Without improved land use and transportation policy, California will not be able to achieve the goals of AB 32.(d) In addition, automobiles and light trucks account for 50 percent of air pollution in California and 70 percent of its consumption of petroleum. Changes in land use and transportation policy, based upon established modeling methodology, will provide significant assistance to California’s goals to implement the
	 federal and state Clean Air Acts and to reduce its dependence on petroleum.(e) Current federal law requires regional transportation planning agencies to include a land use allocation in the regional transportation plan. Some regions have engaged in a regional “blueprint” process to prepare the land use allocation. This process has been open and transparent. The Legislature intends, by this act, to build upon that successful process by requiring metropolitan planning organizations to develop and incorporate a sustainable communities strategy which will be the land use allocation in the regional transportation plan.(f) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is California’s premier environmental statute.

June | 2022 | Terra
Our first post in this series highlights three trailblazing women at NASA who have contributed to Terra’s scientific legacy, while showcasing the collaborative efforts among scientists at Goddard, JPL, and NCAR/UCAR. Check out their stories below!

Dr. Nai-Yung Christina Hsu (GSFC)
Dr. Christina Hsu, a researcher from GSFC, has incorporated data from many of Terra’s instruments into her research. Most notably, in 2004, she developed a Deep Blue algorithm for MODIS data that better characterizes aerosol properties over deserts and urban areas. (Read the groundbreaking article here!)
More recently, Dr. Hsu collaborated with a team studying regional differences in air pollution reductions, due to the global COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020. She used datasets from MODIS and MISR (two instruments on Terra) to analyze aerosol optical depth (click the link to learn more!).  Learn more about Dr. Hsu’s research using this link, and access the full article here!

Abigail (Abbey) Nastan (JPL)
Check out this recent Earthdata feature of our own MISR instrument Applications and Communications lead, Abbey Nastan! This summary gives an overview of the diverse portfolio of projects that Abbey is currently working on, including MERLIN – a unique visualization tool that leverages the MISR Plume Height Project dataset, giving new life to “old-er” data.
For more information on the MERLIN tool and how it was made, download this PDF.

Dr. Rebecca Buchholz (NCAR/UCAR)
Meet Dr. Rebecca Buchholz, a MOPITT Project Scientist who has worked at NCAR/UCAR since 2014 and has used MOPITT’s carbon monoxide dataset to study long-term patterns of air pollution transportation, especially that associated with wildfires. In a Scientific American news article last month, Dr. Buchholz summarized her recent research findings (published in Nature Communications) that show a significant increase in Western U.S. wildfire air pollution during the month of August, a new peak that largely negates California’s efforts to reduce annual air pollution. (She also gave Terra’s long data-record a shout-out!)
