Radiant barrier, Why a foil and why on the floor?

There is a lot of buzz about radiant barrier these days and folks are looking at this option to save them money on their utilities over the long run. At AAA Heat Stop LLC we have been able to truly help many realize a lower heating and cooling bill year around by installing a radiant barrier in homes. There are a lot of options out there and many different products and installation methods. I have reviewed studies, applied some good common sense and see the differences in my own home, I am promoting a foil product and Installing it against the insulation (on floors and against insulated walls in the attic).

Spray on products that are applied to the underside of the roof are not a radiant barrier and will block up to 75% of radiant heat from coming in your attic not bad but you can do better for much less cost! Aluminum foil products that are rolled out will block 97% of radiant heat. According to American Standard of Testing Materials (ASTM) a product must block over 90% of radiant heat to be classified as a radiant barrier. Spray on products will help keep your attic slightly cooler but the attic area will still heat up and that heat will still get in your home. That is why many companies that promote a spray on product also sell insulation. Their products need extra help to work better!

KISD Transition Seminar offered for parents of teenagers

08/16/2008 - 9:00am

Keller ISD, Birdville ISD and 24:7 staff and counselors are hosting a Transition Seminar to help alleviate some of the stress experienced by parents of students transitioning into junior high and/or high school.

"Evidence tells us that the first year of middle school and the first year of high school are often the most difficult transitions for students to make," said Director of Counseling Scott Kessel. "We see this difficult transition reflected attendance records, discipline referrals, grades, achievement test scores, dropout rates, etc. I believe this seminar will provide parents with tools needed to prepare for the transition that lies ahead."

Seminar topics include academic planning, suicide prevention, substance abuse prevention, bullying, technology and media, and much more. The sessions will be conducted by trained counselors from each of the represented districts. Three main sessions will also be provided that give an overview of the adolescent world.

"I'm very excited about collaborating with a neighboring school district and the faith-based community to help our local families," said Kessel. "We believe it does take a village to raise a child. So, we are bringing the village together to do just that."

The seminar will be held 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday, August 16, at the 24:7 conference center at the Richland Hills church of Christ. The seminar is free and includes lunch and childcare.
