    Chrysler Pacifica Reaches New Pinnacle, Offering All-wheel-drive Capability, Utility-vehicle-inspired Updates and the Most Standard Safety Features in… - February 12, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    CHICAGO, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

    The Chrysler brand is taking the Windy City by storm at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show, introducing the new-for-2021 Chrysler Pacifica and setting a new standard in the class by delivering available all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability combined with class-exclusive Stow 'n Go seating and more standard safety features than any other vehicle in the industry, all wrapped in a refreshed exterior and interior design.

    "Through 37 years and more than 15 million minivans sold, Chrysler hasdefined the minivan segment, and we plan to continue redefining it with the new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica," said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head of Alfa Romeo and Head of Passenger Cars Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA North America. "Not only does this new Pacifica look more capable, it is more capable. It delivers more standard safety features than any vehicle in the industry, offers class-leading AWD capability paired with Stow'n Go, a new customizable Uconnect 5 system that is five times faster, and you can even take Alexa along for the ride and see into rear-facing child seats with the new FamCAM. We also have the new top-of-the-line Pinnacle model, and Pacifica is still the only hybrid in the segment. Whatever the challenge, Pacifica offers solutions."

    The new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica offers the most advanced AWD system in its class and is the only vehicle to offer AWD along with Stow 'n Go seating. The seamless, fully automatic AWD system is the only vehicle in the segment capable of transferring all available engine torque to the rear wheels, or whichever wheels have more available traction. The Pacifica AWD system is also able to sense and stop the drive shaft from spinning when AWD is not required, a class-exclusive feature in the segment that improves efficiency and reduces emissions.

    The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica will also offer 97 standard safety features the most standard safety features in the industry. New LED lights and Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB) both offered for the first time in the class as standard equipment join Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, Rear Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Full Stop, electronic stability control (ESC), Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop, Lane Departure Warning, eight airbags and more as standard safety features. All told, the Pacifica features 116 standard and available safety and security features.

    The Pacifica's new exterior design expression is much more deeply sculpted, athletic and modern in character, with utility-vehicle-inspired design cues. A new top-of-the-line Pinnacle model sets a new standard in the segment with a sophisticated, luxurious interior that incorporates a new integrated Ultra console the most functional center console in its class and elite appointments, such as quilted Nappa Caramel leather seats with new matching lumbar comfort pillows.

    The all-new Uconnect 5 system, offered for the first time in a North American vehicle and standard across the Pacifica lineup, includes a largest-in-class 10.1-inch touchscreen, which is nearly 20 percent larger than the screen it replaces. The system is five times faster than Uconnect 4 and includes Alexa. With the Uconnect skill for Alexa, customers with Alexa-enabled devices at home can easily ask Alexa to start the car, lock/unlock doors and more. Uconnect 5 brings Amazon Alexa directly into the vehicle itself, giving occupants the freedom to interact with Alexa just as they do at home or on a personal device. With Alexa built-in, occupants can ask Alexa to play music, podcasts and audiobooks; add items to their to-do list; check news, weather, traffic, sports and other real-time information; and access tens of thousands of Alexa skills.

    The new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica also gives parents a bird's-eye view of their most precious cargo thanks to the new FamCAM interior camerathat delivers a best-in-class high-definition image and allows the driver a view of rear-facing child seat occupants in the second row and even allows them to zoom in on passengers. Another first for the segment, new USB Type C ports allow devices to charge up to four times faster than standard USB outlets.

    The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica will be built at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Orders open in the third quarter of 2020, with the vehicle available in dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2020. AWD also will be available on the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Launch Edition, which opens for dealer orders in the second quarter of 2020 and begins arriving in dealerships in late second quarter of 2020.

    2021 Chrysler Pacifica: The most advanced AWD system in its classThe most awarded minivan over the last four years with more than 125 honors and industry accolades, the Chrysler brand heard the call from its customers for AWD and answered the bell with a new system that helps Pacifica owners haul people and things through all types of weather be it rain or snow.

    America's only minivan to offer AWD along with Stow 'n Go seating, the available system for the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica delivers enhanced traction in a wide range of driving and road conditions from dry pavement to snow-covered roads to non-paved surfaces and engages seamlessly at any speed without the need of driver activation.

    The Chrysler Pacifica's AWD system the first available in a Chrysler minivan since 2004 uses mechanical and electronic technology proven durable and capable on FCA vehicles. In addition, the system was put through its paces, with more than 1 million customer-driven-equivalent miles of testing prior to introduction on the 2021 Pacifica.

    Key mechanical components of the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD system include:

    Other mechanical changes resulting in improved driving dynamics include the addition of a rear sway bar and revised tuning for the front and rear suspension. Ride height is increased 0.78 inches (20 millimeters).

    Pacifica's seamless, fully automatic AWD system is the only one in the segment capable of transferring all available engine torque to the rear wheels, or whichever wheels have more available traction. The Pacifica AWD system, the most capable AWD in the class, is also able to sense and stop the drive shaft from spinning when AWD is not required, a class-exclusive feature in the segment that improves efficiency and reduces emissions.The AWD system also employs a brake-lock differential system to help enhance traction, with fully automatic torque distribution between each wheel. If one wheel on an axle loses traction, the system applies the brake to the low-traction wheel, redirecting torque through the differential to the wheel with more traction. The 18-inch brake package for AWD features larger vented front and solid rear rotors and calipers with more capacity.

    The AWD system engages automatically, based on a variety of sensor inputs that signal when enhanced traction is beneficial. For best traction performance, AWD is engaged when the Chrysler Pacifica begins to accelerate from a standing stop. Other inputs that signal AWD engagement include:

    When the Chrysler Pacifica's drivetrain detects that AWD is not needed, it disconnects the power transfer unit and the rear drive module automatically to stop the drive shaft from spinning, reducing driveline drag and improving efficiency.

    The Pacifica AWD will feature new, standard self-sealing 235/60-R18 Michelin Premier All-season tires for 18-inch wheel applications, with 20-inch wheels offered with optional Pirelli self-sealing tires (late availability) or non-self-sealing Falken tires.

    The AWD system will be available across all four gas-powered Chrysler Pacifica models: Touring, Touring L, Limited and Pinnacle.

    Utility-vehicle-inspired exterior gives Chrysler Pacifica athletic characterThe next expression of the Chrysler Pacifica has arrived, with an inspired refresh standard across the model lineup. The Pacifica features a bold, deeply sculpted face and sophisticated styling that does more with less to celebrate the entire width of the rear, resulting in an unmistakable visual jump from the current model.

    The utility-vehicle-inspired presence begins to take shape right up front with a more "heroic" 3D diamond-style grille, which is accented with painted Gloss Black upper grille textures and a new Bright Chrome grille surround. The iconic Chrysler wing badge is Liquid Chrome and embellished with a new High Gloss Black insert.

    The modern face is sculpted to create a more dominant upper grille. The slimmer lower grille mirrors the 3D diamond-style and Gloss Black appearance of the upper grille. New headlamps are crafted with a more aggressive, linear design. Standard new LED headlamps deliver increased light projection and standout boldly thanks to a daytime running lamp (DRL) appearance.

    Larger and more deeply sculpted LED fog lamp bezels add visual energy and complement the sportiness of the overall design. Fog lamp bezels are also touched with the painted black texture of the grille and also outlined with L-shaped chrome details.

    A new rear all-LED taillamp runs the entire width of the Pacifica, communicating a more upscale lit appearance and transforming the visual feel. The new lit taillamp is encapsulated in a High Gloss Black housing, with the Chrysler wing badge positioned prominently on top of the housing. The taillamp is cleanly and precisely integrated with the backup camera and aerodynamic functions in the single, simple housing. The rear is further dressed up with exterior trim features, including a lower tail end Bright Chrome valance molding.

    When it comes to customizing the rims of the Pacifica, owners will have a full palette of options from which to choose with six new wheel designs offered in a wide menu of different finishes. Available wheels include:

    The Pacifica's exterior palette will expand with a new Fathom Blue color available for the 2021 model year. The new hue beautifully travels between light and dark color tones, celebrating the sculptural qualities of the refreshed exterior.

    The popular S Appearance package, introduced in 2017 and now chosen by one of every three Pacifica buyers, will continue in 2021 with new exterior Anodized Ink finishes on the grille surrounds and badging, and a new "Foreshadow" finish on the wheels. The Pacifica Red S Edition, introduced in 2019 for the 2020 model year with class-exclusive Rodo Red premium Nappa leather seats, will also continue as an option for owners looking to customize their Pacifica Limited S from the factory.

    Posh people mover: Pacifica Pinnaclemodel delivers most luxurious interior in its classThe interior refresh of the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica broadens its appeal with utility-vehicle style cues while setting a new standard in the class through use of premium materials, more striking color combinations and enhanced technology.

    Leading the way is a new top-of-the-line model: Pacifica Pinnacle. The Pinnacle model features a luxurious and sophisticated interior, targeting customers who desire a vehicle loaded with premium appointments and features.

    The Pinnacle offers the most luxurious interior in its class, with one of Pacifica's two new available integrated consoles designed to seamlessly flow into the instrument panel. The Pinnacle integrated Ultra center console, the most functional in its class, seamlessly blends into the instrument panel with the transition assisted by two soft wings bordered with accent stitch. The larger console area allows for the armrest to be relocated from the seats to the console and provides dual-leveled storage, featuring a storage tray on top and a deeper storage area underneath. A large pass-through underneath the console offers an abundant amount of covered storage, providing ample space for personal bags or other large items, such as a laptop.

    The Pinnacle Ultra console offers 13.65 liters of overall storage, an increase of 4.55 liters, one-third more than the current model. Covered storage is 12.1 liters, also a one-third increase over the current model.Pinnacle also includes second-row storage bins in the floor. Total storage on the Pinnacle model is a best-in-class 227.6 liters enough room to haul 60 gallons of milk.

    A striking Caramel and Piano Black color theme, exclusive to the Pinnacle model, defines the interior. Caramel Nappa leather seats are embellished with quilted seat side bolsters and perforated seat inserts and seat backs on all three rows, including second row captain's chairs, adding an elite premium touch point. In addition, seats are accented by Light Tungsten piping and stitching, which serves as a nice, subtle contrast with the richness of the Caramel seats. The Caramel color feel extends to the door panel armrest and bolsters with added Caramel accent stitching on the door upper.

    A unique set of two fully movable lumbar comfort pillows for the second-row captain's chairs match the quilted style and Caramel color of the leather seats and provide an additional dash of classy comfort and style for passengers. The lumbar pillows feature an embossed Chrysler logo on one side, with a suede pillow backing on the other.

    The instrument panel pops thanks to a new mid-century Timber Hydro bezel that delivers distinct wood styling, while a Piano black finish elegantly dresses up the center stack bezel, PRNDL bezel and push-push storage bin door. Satin Chrome plating accents on the seat controls on the first and second row and on the sliding door handles enhance the overall premium aesthetics and also touch and feel for customers.The Pinnacle exudes luxury literally from top to bottom the interior includes a vehicle-length black suede headliner and high-end Berber-construction floor mats.

    Unique finishes stretch out to touch the exterior of the Pinnacle, including a Satin Carbon Grille and Platinum Chrome on all exterior surrounds, moldings and badging in place of standard Bright Chrome. A new Pinnacle side door nameplate in the Pacifica font is also Platinum Chrome.

    The interior of the Limited model is also transformed with its own new integrated Premium console, a more compact iteration of the Pinnacle console. The Limited's Premium console also flows into the instrument panel and provides dual-level storage with a large pass-through storage area. Center storage is delivered through a tamboured door that is a half-inch wider and 1.25 inches longer than the current model. The Limited Premium console delivers 7.60 liters of overall storage, three liters more than the current model, and allows for inclusion of Stow 'n Go seating.

    The Super console from the 2020 Pacifica Limited waterfalls to 2021 Pacifica Touring L models, while the 2021 Pacifica Touring model features a carryover of the Mid console.

    Elite interior features become standard equipment more than ever before for the 2021 Pacifica lineup, including a seven-inch digital cluster, a soft-touch instrument panel with accent stitching and second-row sunshades.

    2021 Chrysler Pacifica: Most standard safety features in the industryThe 2021 Chrysler Pacifica delivers the most standard safety features in the industry, with 97 standard and 14 new-as-standard safety features, including new LED lights and new PAEB.

    As part of the 116 standard and available safety and security features for the Pacifica, LED lights and PAEB are both offered for the first time as standard in the class. New LED headlamps, DRLs, fog lamps and taillamp are standard across all four Pacifica models.

    LED headlamps provide exceptional lighting with a balanced beam of light that minimizes glare on oncoming traffic while doubling the light output directly in front of the vehicle to provide additional driver comfort. The LED headlamps help to better view objects with improved down road and spread illumination. Side lighting offers a broader range of light and improves visibility while cornering, and is activated by either steering wheel angle input or turn signal activations when the headlamps are on.

    Safety features now standard across Pacifica model lineup include:

    Additional advanced safety features are offered through a new, optional Safety Sphere Package, part of a new Premium Group Package available for 2021. Advanced features include:

    The Pacifica will continue to offer eight standard airbags, unsurpassed 5 LATCH child seat positions and a KeySense programmable key fob that allows parents to set parameters regarding speed, stereo volume and other limitations. The Pacifica's advanced body structure also uses high-strength steel and other materials to optimize occupant protection.

    2021 Pacifica offers first North American application of all-new Uconnect 5 systemThe most technologically equipped vehicle of its kind, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is bringing upgrades front and center with an all-new 10.1-inch touchscreen, part of the new Uconnect 5 system that will be offered for the first time in a North American FCA vehicle.

    Delivering the largest standard touchscreen in its class, the 10.1-inch touchscreen is nearly 20 percent larger than the screen it replaces and enables processing speeds up to five times faster than the previous generation.

    The all-new Uconnect 5 system offers more connected services and features for unmatched ease of use for both novice and expert users alike. The suite of new system highlights includes:

    New connected services offerings include:

    New Uconnect 5 system features unique to the Pacifica include upgraded Hybrid Electric Pages and Smartphone Control 2.0. The Uconnect 5 system can provide support for up to three customer-defined charging schedules and owners can schedule any combination of dates and times for charging, as well as monitor functions, such as battery performance, driving history and charging schedules. The new FamCAM interior camera is also accessible via the new Uconnect 5 10.1-inch touchscreen.

    Additional connectivity features include Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) software updates to periodically update the Uconnect 5 system for performance and quality improvements. Uconnect 5 also offers a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

    For Pacifica owners on the go, Uconnect Market can help make reservations, find and pay for parking, order pizza for the family and more all from the new 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Uconnect smartphone app makes it easy and convenient to start the vehicle, unlock doors or send an address to the navigation system. Vehicle maintenance information is also delivered through monthly vehicle health reports, in-vehicle messages or the vehicle info tab on the Uconnect smartphone app.

    Cabin capability, convenience and comfort enhanced for 2021 Chrysler PacificaThe 2021 Chrysler Pacifica builds upon Pacifica's continued focus of providing owners with a comfortable and capable cabin experience, loaded with exclusive features and technological enhancements that make the ride more enjoyable for driver and passenger alike.

    New for the 2021 is the FamCAM interior camera, which projects a best-in-class, high-definition image and allows the driver to keep close tabs on action happening in the back with segment-exclusive features, including a clear view of rear-facing child seat occupants, a split view display and a unique "zoom-to-seat" feature.

    The FamCAM is cleanly positioned above the cabin between the front and second-row panoramic sunroof and the third-row fixed glass. FamCAM views are accessible through the 10.1-inch touchscreen and allow drivers to quickly click and zoom in. Memory setting functions keep the camera in the most recent position used to aid in ease of use and limit driver distraction.

    The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is even more equipped to keep vehicle occupants connected while on the go. Functionality is enhanced with moreUSB ports throughout the vehicle, includingsegment-first USB Type C ports,allowing devices to charge up to four times faster than standard USB outlets. The new Pacifica doubles available USB ports from the current model, with up to a combined total of 12 USB Type A and Type C ports, depending on the model and package chosen.

    Keeping powered up will be simple with a new wireless charging system, available for the new integrated Ultra console on the Pinnacle and Premium console for the Limited model. A new LED light feature on the wireless charging system provides information on the charging status: a blue light indicates charging, red a foreign object detected and green signifies charging is complete.

    The class-exclusive Uconnect Theater rear-seat entertainment system with two 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens adds additional games, such as Concentration, chess, Simon Clone (late availability) and backgammon (late availability), to keep both adult and child passengers entertained. The new offerings join nine existing games, including Are We There Yet and the License Plate Game, to provide the most built-in games in the industry, without need of Wi-Fi or a subscription.

    For audiophiles, the Harman Kardon premium audio group adds a 10-inch rear quarter trim subwoofer to the 19-speaker system, with a 20-speaker system offered on the hybrid powertrain model. The 23-liter sealed enclosure delivers more dynamic bass through the dual-voice-coiled subwoofer and is designed to better integrate with the available Stow 'n Vac system (or storage bin).

    The already vault-like cabin of the Pacifica is sealed even tighter to create the quietest minivan ever made by FCA. Wind noise has been reduced with new or upgraded glass, including acoustic front side glass for the Limited, Pinnacle and all PHEV models, acoustic windshield glass on all Pacifica models and thicker sliding door glass for all Pacifica models.

    FCA engineers worked to make a quiet ride even quieter with better fitments and door and glass seals for all price classes, further reducing in-cabin noise. Road noise is also reduced with upgraded roof bow stiffness, upgraded glass and improved body sealing. The changes deliver a 6-8 percent increase in speech intelligibility.

    The next generation of the award-winning Pentastar V-6 gasoline engine, which is mated to a segment-exclusive TorqueFlite nine-speed automatic transmission, delivers 287 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque.

    The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid delivers more than 80 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in electric-only mode, an all-electric range of more than 30 miles and a total range of more than 500 miles. The segment's first hybrid vehicle features an FCA-designed, innovative dual-motor eFlite electrically variable transmission (EVT) paired with a specially modified version of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 gasoline engine. The Pacifica Hybrid is designed to offer a seamless driving experience, with no need for the driver to select between electric and hybrid modes.

    The Pacifica Hybrid, ranked among the top five best-selling PHEVs in the industry, is equipped with a regenerative braking system that redirects the kinetic energy used to stop the brakes into energy that is used to charge the vehicle's battery. The Pacifica Hybrid may be fully recharged via the 6.6-kWh on-board charger in as little as two hours using a 240-volt (Level 2) charger, available from Mopar through dealers.

    Design Recipes: Watch for these construction building trends – The Providence Journal - February 9, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Last month, Las Vegas hosted roughly 100,000 attendees for Design and Construction Week. The event, which included more than 1,400 exhibitors spanning more than 600,000 square feet of event space at the Las Vegas Convention Center, serves as the official kickoff to what's new in the building and construction industry for many brands. While mostly geared toward builders, designers, architects and other trade professionals, it serves as a window into new innovations relating to the industry. Here are a few of this year's trends.

    Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency dominated new rollouts for many building suppliers, especially with HVAC, insulation and hot waters systems. Nearly every manufacturer in this category touted a new product that offers a more environmentally friendly approach. This ranged from tankless hot water systems and low-emission furnaces to insulation made from materials such as sugar.

    Home automation

    While not new for 2020, home automation seems to be a focus for many brands in expanding into more rooms of the home, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Some smart bathrooms had features in which one can preprogram their morning routine to include lighting preferences and even a shower that automatically turns on to a certain temperature.

    Unique materials

    Wood, especially reclaimed barnwood or responsibly harvested wood, was a popular material, as was porcelain. Durable and nonporous, porcelain for both indoor and outdoor flooring needs remained with many companies introducing porcelain as a modern kitchen countertop solution.

    Rebranding

    Las Vegas Design and Construction Week is essentially the convergence of two huge shows in one, the NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) and NKBA's Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). It is billed as "the largest annual gathering of the residential construction and design industry." As such, the biggest brands showcase their products and promote their brands. Several took the opportunity to unveil new looks, that are fresh, modern and edgy.

    Can a Smart Home Really Help You Save Energy (And Money)? – IoT For All - February 9, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Side by side with the trends comes the hype. Then, the myths start to appear. It was like that with the internet, smartphones and now with the smart home concept. Wherever you go, everybody seems to have something to say about techy houses and how integrated, futuristic and automated they are. Still, plenty of consumers really dont know much about them, or if they really can improve your life at home.

    Such information blur is even bigger when it comes to money and energy savings. Buyers not only want to know if smart homes are useful but also want to figure out if they will increase or reduce their electricity bills. If that sounds like you, why not jump to the facts and see what the world has been saying about it? Experts, international organizations and companies have researched connected homes for the past few years, and its time for us to finally discover whether smart homes can help you save money on your utilities.

    Before we dive in, its essential to keep in mind what makes a house a smart home. The idea of home automation is part of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, which is somewhat self-explanatory. IoT basically means giving life to objects by using an internet connection so they can have extra features. In other words, a smart house is an integrated system of intelligent devices.

    From smart light bulbs to virtual assistants, a smart home provides the environment for you to monitor and model your life at home and make it more practical. The concept was quite abstract until tech brands such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and Amazon started selling smart gadgets for the whole house, from washing machines to speakers. Such creations let consumers use their phones as remote controls and turn the house itself into a tech device.

    Okay, theyre smart, practical and innovative. But can they also be energy-efficient? Lets see some examples below and learn if smart homes can also save you money on your bills.

    Sensors can open doors, turn the lights on or off, and even set the temperature in a room, so there must be a reason why we use them everywhere, right? Yes, and heres a tip: Its not only because they are super-practical at home. Such devices are highly energy-efficient and can save plenty of electricity.

    According to the United Kingdoms Carbon Trust, occupancy sensors, which can identify if a person is in the room, can reduce energy use by 30 percent. Daylight sensors are even more efficient and can lower your usage by up to 40 percent.

    Another interesting data fact from the U.K. was presented by the Kings College London. In 2013, the university cut its lighting energy use by nearly 90 percent as a result of the installation of sensor-controlled indoor lighting. According to the projects developers, the institution will save 6,349 British pounds (around $8,037 in the U.S.) every year on electricity bills.

    Smart power strips, or smart power bars, may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about a smart home. Dont let their conventional appearance fool you, though. These gadgets can block energy to your devices while they are in standby mode, which is an overlooked yet significant energy-saving tool.

    As reported by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), standby mode accounts for 10 percent of residential electricity usage. A smart power strip, then, will help you lower your bills considerably by blocking this silent, energy-consuming function at home. Imagine never again having to worry about unplugging devices.

    Long, hot showers are relaxing and energizing, but also highly energy-inefficient. Thats why experts decided to create intelligent shower time limiters, which let you have the best of both worlds: the warmth of a relaxing shower with a limit to it.

    Shower time limiters can boost your water savings up to 50 percent, according to some brands. As Showerguard states on its website, smart timers can save up to 20 percent on your utility bills and hundreds of dollars within a year, which is exceptional payback time.

    Such devices allow you to set the time you want to spend in the shower, and it will tell you when its time to close the faucet. Whats more, they can be a helpful tool if you are looking for eco-friendly renovations at home.

    Smart thermostats are perhaps the best example of what home automation means in both technological and energy-saving terms. These devices are highly integrated with phones or tablets, and let you monitor and set your homes temperature by distance.

    Still, their list of features goes way beyond remote access. Smart thermostats can send you energy usage reports regularly and even create charts for you to check historical data. Over and above, all these functions will save you about 15 percent on your energy bills, according to Canadas Global News.

    Even energy monitors got a makeover with the home automation trend. These gadgets can provide users with insights about their energy use and home activity. If you have a solar-powered system, for example, they can even measure solar production versus electricity consumption.

    Thanks to the mobile integration, you can track everything regarding energy usage from your phone, including which devices are costing you more money and related reports. There are even open source options if youre into DIY projects. Many consumers have created their own smart energy monitors using modular Raspberry Pi computers.

    Products such as the LG SmartView counter-depth refrigerator apply the IoT concept to one of the most traditional machines at home. This fridge sends you mobile notifications when the door is left open and is integrated with an app that lets you monitor, for example, if you have ice in the freezer or check the temperature. It can get even smarter if you connect it to Google Assistant.

    Another good old device with an intelligent twist to it is the Samsung WW9000 washing machine. This clothes washer comes with the ecobubble technology, which allows users to cut down the amount of warm water needed to clean clothes. In other words, it can save both water and heating costs. The smart features are boosted by Wi-Fi and the mobile app and help users control major functions using their phones.

    Yes, smart homes can save you money plenty of it, actually. But it will depend on what smart products you buy. The most energy-efficient devices are the ones that come with sensors or other kinds of energy limiters. A smart TV or Bluetooth speaker wont necessarily save you money although they probably will when compared to their older peers such as tube TVs or decades-old record players.

    The good news is that nowadays, most of these gadgets tend to be energy-efficient and smart at the same time, so you wont have a problem combining energy-savings with comfort, be it purchasing a fridge or a lighting kit.

    MTA to connect two Brooklyn stations and extend free transfer program – amNY - February 9, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    BY GRANT LANCASTER

    MTA officials plan to build a permanent indoor connector between the Livonia Avenue L station and the Junius Street 3 station in Brooklyn by 2024 and are extending a free transfer program between the stations in the meantime, they announced at a press conference Friday afternoon.

    The plan to connect the two stations, which are less than 1,000 feet apart, is part of the MTAs 2020-2024 Capital Plan, which also includes improvements to make both elevated stations fully ADA accessible, said Sally Librera, New York City Transit senior vice president of subways. The Livonia Avenue station should be fully accessible by 2022 and the Junius Street station by 2024.

    The MTA set aside $38.4 million for the project and has already spent $400,000 for pre-design activities, according to an MTA press release Friday. Construction on the accessibility improvements, such as elevators and ramps, are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2020.

    The free MetroCard transfer that customers have been able to use for the past nine months during construction on the L line will continue until the construction at the stations is complete, according to the press release.

    Riders have two hours to swipe their MetroCard and make the free transfer.

    The transfer program allows people to use both stations without paying twice, Librera said. About 1 million customers use the Livonia Avenue station each year, with about 600,000 annually at Junius Street station, she said.

    Sen. Roxanne Persaud thinks that the indoor connection will be a great improvement over the uncovered walkway between the two stations now, despite improvements in lighting on that walkway, she said.

    For many years, it was considered a dangerous walkway, Persaud said.

    MTA Board Member Andrew Albert, chair of the NYC Transit Riders Council, thinks the project will help tie the two stations together in a way that is convenient for citizens, he said.

    This is one of the last places where lines cross, but there is no real connection, Albert said.

    Assembly Member Latrice Walker thinks that, in addition to convenience, the improvement will help reduce fare evasion at stations where people are likely to evade instead of paying double the fare, she said.

    For years my constituents have suffered paying two fares for stations directly across the street from each other, Walker said. A free transfer between Livonia and Junius stations will make a huge difference in their daily lives.

    What Light Through Yonder Theatre Breaks? – Cherwell Online - February 9, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    This week,we saw the death of theatre director Terry Hands, acclaimed for his founding ofthe Everyman in Liverpool among various other theatrical, notablyShakespearean, endeavours. This news came within hours of the RSCsannouncement of their winter season of Shakespeares Wars of the Roses plays, nearlyforty years after Hands production of the Henry VI trilogy as artisticdirector of the RSC supplanted it firmly back into the public psyche.

    Handsstyle of directing was distinctive, and often classic. His productions had acertain energetic hum that surrounded them, and in his more than 25 years asDirector Emeritus and Artistic Director of the RSC, it became difficult todisassociate his productions from his latent directorial presence. He came tothe RSC with a track-record of success, having founded the Everyman aftergraduating from RADA; he continued to wield his benevolent hands (pun notintended) over the theatre world when, after leaving the RSC, he saved Wales Theatr Clwyd fromclosure. His styles soon became trademark, as he made his way through Europestheatre circles. He had an almost unparalleled ability to pick out and persuadingtalent to his ends, mentoring the likes of Anthony Sher, Deborah Warner andAdrian Noble.

    One of the most recognisable parts of hisdirectorial style, though, is his idiosyncratic use of light, casting himselfas lighting director in a number of productions. Hands made us light-sensitiveas an audience; what were the possibilities of light in Shakespeare, and howcould they enhance a performance? He seems to have tapped into usefuldirectorial opportunities, noticing and exploiting the infinite variety oflights possibility in Shakespeares plays.

    Light, for anyone who has pored over an ArdenShakespeare, traipsing through theme after theme, is an image of notablesignificance. Romeo famously asks Juliet: But soft, what light through yonderwindow breaks?; if the window is the east, and Juliet really is the sun, how can a director make herso? The 2006 RSC production, directed by Nancy Meckler, has Juliet perched noton a balcony but on a precarious metal scaffold. The light that bathes her faceis not warm sunlight but the harsh whiteness of stage lights, as we are deniedaccess to the fallacy in which the two lovers find themselves in. To Romeo, hisparamour has the soft warmth of the sun, but to us, she looks harsh anddistant, lit with a clinical pale glow. In the 2010 RSC production, Juliet isoffstage when Romeos dramatic love exposition begins; the visions of grandeurin Romeos mind can be indulged by the director, or gently mocked by way ofdeliberate omission.

    The relative scarcity of specific stage directionor set instruction makes a Shakespeare play a useful tabula rasa upon which adirector can build an effective, stylistically distinctive production. However,there are some specific light requirements that are vital to the narrative whilebeing difficult for a director to work with. A distinction between night andday is a recurring feature, a technique that would have been especiallydifficult in the open-air amphitheatre styles of some Elizabethan theatres. Thescript for our case study, Romeo and Juliet, includes the time markers ofmorning, twilight, noon, twilight, night and dawn. It is, obviously, at thedirectors discretion whether they choose to play to these distinctions, orwhether they will allow the play to exist in its own isolated timelessness.Time disorientation works well for the two lovers tragic story; a refusal toacknowledge the passage of time gives the story a cruelly ironic sense ofhaving time to spare, when in reality the events take place over only fourdays. If the director chooses to note these fluctuations in light, the playbecomes more urgent, more visceral and more real.

    There are over thirty stage directions inShakespeares oeuvre calling for lights to be carried on-stage. Three kinds oflights are specified: tapers, torches and lanterns. Torches are the most commonby far, and undoubtedly the easiest for an actor to use effectively on stage. However,the Elizabethan nomenclature of specific lights was inconsistent, so relativefree-reign, even then, was given to matters of lighting for the productions. Itis unreasonable to presume that a modern director will feel constricted to theconfines of Shakespeares own light specifications, but some performance spacesnecessitate a modicum of orthodoxy. The Globes primary light source issunlight, making the only significant differentiation in light that betweenLondons night and day. Even the indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, thoughartificially lit with candles, is illuminated uniformly throughout entireperformances. In such spaces, lightscarried on and off stage were not a requirement, but a superfluity to thespace: they were an exercise in aesthetics, rather than function.

    Aside from the time markers mentioned previously,the use of hand-held lights in the plays are used traditionally to indicatedark, shadowy loci, where the presence of light indicates a lack it, as well asceremony and metaphor. The extinguishing of these indicates a plummet intototal darkness, in which Cassio can be ambushed and Lear can be left isolate onthe heath. As Lears Fool says: so out went the candle and we were leftdarkling. The audience is trusted to suspend disbelief as we plunge, with thecharacters, into metaphorical darkness.

    How, then, has Hands legacy of light been aninfluential force on the modern Shakespeare scene? The 2014 Park AvenueTheatre, New York, staged a production of Macbeth that surpassed audienceexpectations not only of light but also of staging. The plays cavernous spacewas transformed into a barren heath, complete with open flame torches lighting theaudiences way towards the steep, stadium seating. Strange and otherworldlyshadows were cast on the faces of the (floating!) witches. The mass of candlesat the end of the traverse stage that glowed hot in Lady Macbeths fieriestmoments stood cold and dark when, hands stained with blood, she begs: Ohlight! Please take me! I deserve to die! / Nowtake me light! Now cover my darkness!. Though elements of this productioncrumble under accusations of style over substance, it is exemplary in itsmanipulation of, or abject disregard for, Shakespeares original plans forlight in his plays.

    Nonconformist lightingtechniques are not specific to tragedy; Shakespeares already farcical,unrealistic comedic scenarios can be made more so with lighting that removes usentirely from reality. The recent production of A Midsummer Nights Dream atLondons Bridge Theatre explores the dark sexuality that runs throughout theplay, by keeping the in-the-round performance space mostly dark and shadowy,save select spots of bright lightness. In a play usually interpreted with thesummer-gaze of cloudless days and soft heat, the Bridges chiaroscuro is arefreshing palate cleanser for some of its more sanguine adaptations. Sequinnedand salacious, the plays purple hue in the final scene gives it permission torevel in its unabashed campness, dragging the audience literally skipping intoits midsummer fever dream.

    One wonders whetherShakespeares verse benefits from these techniques; should we give in topurists, and have our open-air theatres lit exclusively by the sun and the oddtaper? Some productions, like Park Avenues, undoubtedly suffer for stylisticdiversity, sacrificing subtleties of language, style and blocking to make roomfor the enormity of these effects. However,in order to guarantee our public appreciation for these plays for years tocome, we have a duty to embrace and support attempts at stylistic innovation,rather than dismissing them as silly or superfluous. Done well, effects such aslighting can enhance audience enjoyment, and Terry Hands productionsexemplified this. He used never-before-seen lighting techniques with consistentsuccess, demonstrating how, even though Shakespeare doesnt need to bemodernised to the 21st century, wed be happy to have him.

    A new hang-out has cropped up in Mumbai and we are loving its vibe – Architectural Digest India - February 9, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    'The Terrace - A Maiden Affair' is located in Andheri, Mumbai and has been designed by Saniya Kantawala Design

    Stepping through the doors of The Terrace A Maiden Affair, a newly opened restaurant in Andheri, Mumbai, one is greeted by a neon sign, Here comes the sun, hinting at a happy, cheerful experience that awaits inside. Pastel shades, jewel-shaped lighting, comfortable seaters upholstered in rich fabrics, an outdoor space with an alluring ambience and more, make this restaurant an instant attraction. The brand, The Terrace, located in Juhu is owned by Karan and Kaushal Shah. They have franchised it to Kaplan and Nishiket Shah and the interiors of the new Andheri outlet have been envisioned by interior designer Saniya Kantawala.

    This restaurant is primarily for the millennials and Gen-X; the entire theme and decor for the space includes elements that are attractive to this generation. For me, designing the restaurant and understanding the client brief and bringing it to life was instinctive, as I am a millennial myself; hence, pink has been used in a variety of ways in the space, says Kantawala. The finishes on the walls and the flooring have been kept fairly restrained. The predominant use of soft pink hues are offset by pops of blue, green andorange and the use of brass imparts a sleek finish to the furniture incorporated indoors. Theexposed ceiling is adorned with dainty, jewel-shaped lighting. The bar, positioned centrally within the 2,200-square-feet indoor space is surrounded by seating that includes high bar seating and circular booth seating. Pop art dots the walls, perking up the interiors and adding an element of quirk.

    On the other side of the glass partition lies the outdoor seating area (600-square-feet) and is easily the most endearing spot in the restaurant. A centrally positioned light installation sets an ideal tone, with the space being further enhanced by the inclusion of several potted plants. Quirky bent chair plates accessorise the walls of the garden and the seating has been arranged in such a way that it makes one feel like they are amidst an art garden. A swing installed in the garden also lifts the ambience of the space and creates a visual that makes the restaurant photo-worthy, adds Kantawala.

    The food is helmed by chef Rajesh Talwar, who has two more restaurants in the works in Doha and The Bahamas. The menu comprises a diverse selection. We tried the delicately spiced Tandoori Indian Machhi, the Golden Prawns, Chicken Sesame Seekh and the flavourful Tandoori stuffed Mushrooms. If you happen to be in the mood for some comfort food, the menu includes Khichdi, a dish most of us crave for every now and then. Named after Kantawala herself, Saniya ka pakaya hua khichdi can be paired with veggies and chicken (yes, you read that correctly!). Go ahead and indulge!

    In this age of social media and Instagram, the fascination with posting about our wheres and whens has completely re-defined the process of conceptualising a restaurant and its design, says Kantawala. This understanding has translated effortlessly into a design that spatially renders a simple yet efficient layout, imparts a cheerful and soothing vibe, offers picture perfect backdrops and makes it an ideal spot to catch up with a group of friends. If you are wondering where to head out this weekend, we suggest you give The Terrace in Andheri a try. Who knows it might just end up becoming a regular hang-out spot for you and your friends.
