Single Storys Podcast Is Here

Single Storys Podcast Is Here – The Stories Behind 20 Years in Design and Architecture

Big news from Ginger Rabe Designs the Single Story’s podcast has officially launched on YouTube! After months of planning, recording, and a few laughs (and coffee-fueled late nights), the first episodes are finally live. Even better? By September, you’ll be able to listen to Single Story’s on every major podcast platform.

This isn’t just another design podcast. Single Story’s is about the real experiences, big wins, late-night problem-solving, and even a few curveballs that have shaped my 20-year career in interior design and now in architectural drafting and design.

Yes, we talk about the industry, the trends, challenges, and lessons learned. But we also talk about life. As a single mom and business owner, I know firsthand how messy and rewarding it can be to balance family, clients, and creativity. Each episode dives into those honest, behind-the-scenes moments that rarely make it to Instagram.

You’ll also hear from an amazing lineup of industry professionals, architects, designers, builders, and creatives who have their own "Single Storys" to share. These are conversations about how people really make it work, the risks they’ve taken, and the turning points that changed everything.

At its heart, Single Story’s is about storytelling. Every project, every client, every chapter of my career has had its own plot twist and now I get to share those stories with you.

The first 3 episodes are streaming now on YouTube = Single Storys Podcast. Go watch, subscribe, and leave a comment to let me know what you think. And keep an eye out — by September, you’ll be able to tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

Here’s to the next chapter, and to all the Single Storys that make a career unforgettable.

CEC Adopts 2022 Energy Code

Here at Ginger Rabe Designs, LLC we have been busy building new homes, ADUs, remodeling, and designing. We are also forward thinking in sustainable design and energy consumption throughout all of our project. Sustainable design is something that our Firm educates each of our Clients about while going through the designing and construction document phase.

https://coldcraft.com/the-residential-energy-use-pie/

Designing a home or building a new structure requires our team to study building and energy codes. The California Energy Commission have released new codes that will now be implemented moving forward. Below are some of the Energy Commission Adopts Updated Building Standards to Improve Efficiency, Reduce Emissions From Homes and Businesses.

On August 11th, the California Energy Commission adopted the 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Energy Code) for newly constructed and renovated buildings. These changes are slated to be approved in December of 2021, and take effect January 1, 2023. This will allow all builders, contractors and energy professionals time to adapt and prepare for the changes.

“Buildings profoundly influence our health, environment and economy. Into the future they will use less energy and emit less pollution while still being comfortable and healthy,” said Commissioner J. Andrew McAllister, who is the lead commissioner on energy efficiency. “The 2022 Energy Code firmly pivots California’s buildings toward the clean, low-carbon technologies that are the bedrock on which our collective path forward will rest. This foundation will help the state meet its critical long-term climate and carbon neutrality goals."

The 2022 update will be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), which is scheduled to consider it in December 2021. If approved by the CBSC, it would go into effect on January 1, 2023, giving builders, contractors and other interested parties a year to gear up for the changes.

The 2022 Energy Code focuses on four key areas in newly constructed homes and businesses:

• Encouraging electric heat pump technology for space and water heating, which consumes less energy and produces fewer emissions than gas-powered units.

• Establishing electric-ready requirements for single-family homes to position owners to use cleaner electric heating, cooking and electric vehicle (EV) charging options whenever they choose to adopt those technologies.

• Expanding solar photovoltaic (PV) system and battery storage standards to make clean energy available onsite and complement the state’s progress toward a 100 percent clean electricity grid.

• Strengthening ventilation standards to improve indoor air quality.
