4BUILTENVIRONMENTThe booming suburbs that definedAmerican life in the 1950s and 60s withneatly laid out parcels of land, manicuredlawns, and spacious two-stall garages,contain houses that are today as old asthe nation’s average grandparent.And that’s the problem, says Abbe Will,senior research associate with the JointCenter for Housing Studies of HarvardUniversity.“All the best data we have today tells usthat the average home today is older thanit has ever been before,” remarks Will.“And the homes have been aging andaging over the last several decades.”Will notes that this trend was onlyexacerbated by the economics of theGreat Recession a decade ago, “whenhome builders were just no longerbuilding as many new homes as they usedto.” According to a new report issued by theJCHS called Improving America’sHousing, just under 50% of the owner-occupied stock in America was builtbefore 1980. “But the age of the housingstock varies significantly by metro,largely reflecting differences in thetiming of past homebuilding restrictions.”THIS WEEKS SPOTLIGHT RESEARCH SHOWS GROWTH IN HOMEIMPROVEMENT MARKET FROM AGINGHOUSING SUPPLYBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment05/23/2023Copyright: Canva Pro
5BUILTENVIRONMENTIn fact, the share of homes built before1980 is less than 33% in such Sunbeltmetros as Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, LasVegas, and Phoenix. In the older and more traditional metroareas of Boston, New York, and Detroit,two-thirds or more of the owner-occupied homes were built before 1980.Interestingly, not only is the average ageof the American home very much on theup side, but so is the person who ownsthe home, with the average age at 41years, “up from 35 years a decade earlier,and just 31 years in 2001.”And those homeowners are doing morethan ever before to upgrade the housesthey live in, says the report, spendingsignificantly on “home improvements,including replacements of core homesystems and components, as well asroutine maintenance.”Says Will: “We are now at the pointwhere we have a lot of homes in thecountry that are not just in need ofincreased maintenance, although that’s apart of it, but are also seeing increasedspending for what we call replacementcosts, things like windows and doors androofing and siding, the parts of a homethat just wear out over time.”In fact, around 50% of homeimprovement work in the country todayare essentially replacement projects, and,says Will, “We would expect that tocontinue as a big part, if not the biggestpart, of the market moving forward.”The ongoing and increased investment inthe nation’s aging housing stock is alsoregarded as important simply because somany of the oldest properties could easilybe classified as substandard.Notes the report, some 3.4% of owner-occupied homes in 2021 were classifiedas “moderately or severely inadequate.”This is in addition to the 8.4% of thenation’s rental stock that is similarlyclassified.Substandard issues include everythingfrom structural deficiencies to electricity,heat, water, and plumbing system issues.

6BUILTENVIRONMENTThe result is big money for big outlays:upwards of $4,700 to $4,800 per ownerwas spent on repairs for homes builtbetween 1940 and 1979, according tothe JCHS report. The per owner figure for homes betweenbefore 1940 was even greater, at $5,400.That spending was also defined byincome, with those in the lowest quintileof $32,000 or less per year spendingaround $2,000 annually on homeimprovement or repair projects; whilethose with incomes at the $150,000 levelor above, spent on average nearly $9,000for such projects.Meanwhile, opportunities for contractorsand subcontractors are everywhere, withincreased investments in water heaters,new insulation, replaced roofing, andboth new windows and doors.The onset of the Covid 19 pandemic onlyaccelerated already-existing trends, saysWill. “It was incredible. To a certainextent, people were spending more timeat home, and thinking about things theywanted to repair.We saw double-digit growth in spendingfor both improvements and repairs.”Such projects have also been in responseto the damages wrought by naturaldisasters, as well as accessibilityadjustments. As the oldest Baby Boomerin 2023 is 77 years old, new homestructural work is centering on suchprojects as making bathrooms, bedrooms,and kitchens more wheelchair and walkeraccessible. Says the JCHS report: “Accessibilitymodifications can be costly, and the needfor these projects will be especiallyhigher in the Northeast and Midwest.” All in all, says Will, the market for homeimprovements and remodeling, whichreached unprecedented levels during theCovid 19 years of 2020 to 2022, isexpected to continue.“The growth will not be what it wasduring those years,” she says. “But it willbe impressive nonetheless.”Copyright: Canva Pro

"Contractors continue to report strong demand forprojects and have added employees in all but ahandful of states over the past year," said KenSimonson, the association’s chief economist. "The factthat employment dipped in April in half the states mayreflect an inability to find qualified workers at a timeof record-low construction unemployment, not aslowdown in demand."Between April 2022 and April 2023, 42 states and theDistrict of Columbia added construction jobs, whileindustry employment declined in seven states andheld steady in Hawaii.

28WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTIONNEW MEXICOWICNM NEWSLETTERAPRIL 2023 >Hello Members,Spring is in the air and thus starts the naturalevents that occur during this time, days start toget longer, snow begins to melt as the weathergets warmer, plants begin to grow and animals arewaking from hibernation. All of these things canbring peace, joy, and happiness if you stop toadmire your surroundings; soon we will be able tosmell the aromas of the flowers and fresh cutgrass. I was curious as to why it’s called ‘spring’?After doing some research I found that the word‘spring' can be traced back to the 14th century.Before the 14th century, spring was called ‘Lent'.However, this changed to ‘spring-time' to describethe plants springing from the ground, before itwas eventually replaced with just ‘spring'. I’mready for warmer weather and some much neededtime outside enjoying nature and fishing. We areall so busy with work, children, housework,holidays and gatherings and so we need toremember to take time out of our busy lives forourselves; self-care is necessary for yourwellbeing and for those you care about.

That report, SmartHighway Construction Market, also notesthat the similarly growing smart citiesmovement has helped to accelerate thesmart highways movement.Perhaps a popular catch-all phrase, smarthighways comprise dozens of newtechnologies designed to make travelingsmoother and safer.The electronic technologies comprisingthe smart highway movement see the useof high-tech street lighting and trafficlights, as well as the operation ofconnected and autonomous vehicles.Smart highway technology has also beenused to improve mass transit systems andreduce driving times.In essence, notes the publication MakeUse Of : “Just as cars and trucks aregetting smarter and more autonomous,we can expect the roads we drive on toget smarter.”And smart highway technology can take- CONSTRUCTION NEWSTRENDSAccording to a new report, U.S. SmartHighway Market, published by theresearch company Report Ocean, theoverall market for highways thatincorporate electronic technologies hasbeen growing at an impressive annualgrowth rate of 18.2% in the last fouryears and is expected to maintain thatpace until at least 2026.A separate report, Smart Highways MarketSize, published by the company MarketCopyright: Canva Pro
many forms: for years highway tollbooths would “require you to slow downat a gate and hand bills or coins to anattendant or toss the correct change intoa bucket,” writes reporter Susan Meyer inthe site The Zebra.“Now, electronic tollways make it easy tomaintain a consistent speed while stillpaying the toll,” continues Meyer, notingthat the placement of a small device orsticker on a vehicle’s windshield that’sdetected by video imaging treatment orthermal cameras has the potential of“making the entire transaction seamless.”46BUILTENVIRONMENTThe smart highways movement, expertspoint out, has been around in at leastconcept form for decades. In the mid-1990s an experimental smart highwaywas built on a portion of Interstate 15 insouthern California, as authorized by theIntermodal Surface TransportationEfficient Act. But funding limited thelength of the project.Perhaps the earliest version of the ideawas on display in the 1939 World’s Fair inNew York. The “Futurama” exhibitshowed cars traversing highways guidedby radio-controlled electromagneticfields and operated via roadwaymagnetized metal spikes.Copyright: Canva ProThe goal of greater diversity in theworkplace remains one that is solidlysupported by most respondents in a newsurvey, even if success is sometimeselusive.The survey conducted by the PewResearch Company shows that 56% ofrespondents had a positive view ofworkplace diversity, equity, and inclusionefforts, while only 16% regarded suchinitiatives as “a bad thing.”NEW SURVEY SHOWSSUPPORT OF ONGOINGWORKPLACE DIVERSITYEFFORTSBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter05/19/2023Copyright: Canva ProA somewhat large 28% in the surveyindicated no opinion one way or theother, regarding such efforts as “neithergood nor bad.”The push for greater workplace diversityaccelerated after the 2020 murder inMinneapolis of George Floyd, an AfricanAmerican man who died due to a lack ofoxygen as a white police officer knelt onhis neck.In the immediate aftermath of Floyd’s -
47BUILTENVIRONMENTdeath, many corporations such asComcast, Nike Inc., and the Bank ofAmerica announced financial support fordiversity measures. Noted the Reutersnews service just three weeks after Floyddied: “At least a dozen other bigcompanies announced gifts between $1million and $100 million for similarefforts.”But according to labor reporter KhorriAtkinson in a story published earlier thisyear for Bloomberg Law, many of thosehired to diversify the workplace “havebeen let go over the past year amidongoing layoffs as cost-cuttingmeasures.”The number of what are called DEI(diversity, equity, and inclusion) workerslaid off, according to the Bloomberg Lawreport, was in excess of 300 as of thespring of this year.The Pew survey shows that whatever thefortunes of DEI employees, some 61% ofrespondents indicated that theircompanies have in place policiesdesigned to ensure fairness in hiring, pay,and promotions. A smaller 52% said theircompanies having meetings and trainingsession on DEI.The survey also shows that 61% ofwomen thought DEI policies were a goodthing, compared to just 50% for men.Those aged 18 to 29 expressed thegreatest support at 68% for such policies,while those in the 50 to 64 age rangerevealed the lowest support at 46%.Noted the Pew narrative thataccompanied the survey: “Views alsodiffer by educational attainment, with 68% of workers with a postgraduatedegree saying focusing on DEI at work isa good thing, compared with 59% ofthose with a bachelor’s degree, and only50% of those with some college or lesseducation.”Safety is a wonderful calling. That’s howTony Orlowski, a 25-year safety veteran,feels about his chosen profession.

Beginning in 1999, we continued to release new space qualified solar cell technology every 24months for 10 years, driving technological innovation, not only in space power, but in space applicationsthat have transformed how we live. NASA's Starshine-3 launched in 2001 was the first satellite poweredby our Advanced Triple-Junction (ATJ) solar cells. In the period from 2000 to 2009, SolAero's ATJ solar cellwas the best-selling satellite solar power solution in the world.CLICK HERE TO VISIT WEBSITE > Phone:(505) 332-5000SINCE 2001, SOLAERO SOLAR CELLS AND PANELS HAVE SUPPLIEDPRIMARY POWER TO OVER 760 SUCCESSFUL SPACE MISSIONS WITHZERO-ON ORBIT FAILURES.SOLAERO TECHNOLOGIES10420 Research Road SE, Albuquerque, NM 87123We create world-class innovative solutions that are powering the new space race.COMPANY NEWS:THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF NASA’S JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE MARKS THE 1,002ND SATELLITEPOWERED BY SOLAERO TECHNOLOGIESALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SolAero Technologies Corp. (SolAero), a leadingprovider of high efficiency solar cells, solar panels, and composite structural products for satellite andaerospace applications, celebrated the launch of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (Webb), markingthe milestone of powering 1,002 satellites in orbit. SolAero supplied the high-efficiency triple-junctionsolar cells to Northrop Grumman for integration into solar panels and solar arrays to power Webb.Since its founding in 1998, SolAero has helped to revolutionize the space industry through theadvancement of satellite solar power technology. In just its first three years, SolAero was instrumental inthe displacement of silicon solar cells as the primary source of satellite power after they had been incontinuous use since 1958. SolAero subsequently released new satellite power technology every 18-24months for the next two decades, driving technological innovations that have transformed how we live.Today, SolAero’s Triple-Junction (ZTJ), 4-Junction (Z4J), and 5-Junction (IMM) portfolio of solar cellproducts is the mostly widely used in the world, and its high-volume panel manufacturing capabilities areenabling many of the industry’s largest satellite programs while meeting the exacting specifications ofthe world’s most demanding missions.Continue reading >
