Does your non-profit need a conference table? Now’s the time. ReSource helps member non-profits serve their clients by providing vital goods and educational programs. Tax-exempt organizations join ReSource for a modest annual fee and may then purchase any of the donated supplies found at ReSource for a fraction of the market value, reducing their agencies operational expenses.
Simply stated — ReSource builds stronger non-profits through collecting donations of everything from office supplies to furniture for 501 c3 non-profit organizations. ReSource is a Cincinnati-based 501(c)(3) that distributes corporate donations — excess goods such as office furniture, personal care items and other consumable supplies — to our member non-profits.
A renaissance is taking place to restore Cincinnati to a walkable and sustainable community. Locating this office project in the inner city represents the best in historical reuse and renewal.
This project, in the second floor of a three-story rowhouse, houses the office of Lohre & Associates Marketing Communications and Green Cincinnati Education Advocacy, the sole tenant. The building is among other older inner-city buildings undergoing renovation. The firm is a marketing communications agency that designs literature, web sites, photography, and trade show exhibits primarily for industrial clients, and which has a green building education and marketing division.
Homes have evolved over the years and the major trends have been the result of builders wanting better more efficient homes for their clients. After World War I and II the world was introduced to new materials and construction methods, the International and Usonian Styles were the result. Usonian has a unique history associated with Frank Lloyd Wright but it can represent a more natural approach used to improve the home environment and many features are similar to the International Style. Green homes are the present day future in home building. The U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design guidelines can help any homeowner understand how to improve his home and enjoy living there while saving money.
Preserve, Restore, Revitalize – USGBC Cincinnati Regional Chapter, AIA Cincinnati, and Over-the-Rhine Foundation Cincinnati collaborate to present the 2012 Green Homes Summit. Presentation seminars will be held on September 14th, at Emanuel Community Center in OTR, Cincinnati, OH. Summit includes: Keynote Speaker, Workshops, All-Day Tradeshow, and Green Homes Tour for Homeowners, Builders, Architects, Government Officials, Realtors, Lenders, and anyone related to the residential building industry. The conference will focus on residential green strategies with an added focus of urban revitalization and historic preservation.
Cincinnati city leaders met Thursday morning outside the newly-renovated Elberon Apartments in Price Hill.
For more than a decade the giant building has been in disrepair, but now the remodeled building and apartments will welcome a new batch of residents.
After four years of planning and renovation, the building now holds 37 remodeled apartments for low-income senior citizens.
The building is Gold Star LEED certified, meeting standards for environmental construction, design and preservation of the building’s historic character.
In May, Ohio adopted a new residential building code requiring new homes to be more energy-efficient, be tested for air leaks and come with carbon monoxide detectors. The code is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2013. The new rules are estimated to add between $1,100 and $1,200 to the cost of a 1,800-square-foot two-story home. Homeowners can expect reductions in their utility bills, justifying the increased cost of construction. A similar code change in Boston back in 2009 found homeowners could save approximately $230 a year in energy costs with the new rules in place.
Tour hosted by the Cincinnati Preservation Association – 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. – 800 Broadway St., Cincinnati, OH 45202 – Free, Max of 20 people, Registration required. Margo Warminiski, Preservation Director of the Cincinnati Preservation Assoc. will present on the history of the building. Representatives from either or both of the LEED for Existing Building team at GBBN Architects and Thermal Tech will be on hand.
