Heat waves

• Welcome to the property management blog, our window on the world of property management. If you believe the patterns that the weather watchers are reporting, then the heat waves that are searing the nation will become more prevelant in the next few years. How will this effect your properties and how you manage them? Will it mean more r-rating installed? Will it mean more zeriscaping and less landscaping? Will it change how you manage your HVAC systems? Let’s face it. A few days of a hundred plus degrees one can withstand if some AC and cool water is available. But after several days or a few weeks of it, people just wear down. Systems and equipment wear down. The service people who try to keep the cooling units working wear down. The power grid gets overworked and people stress themselves out. I don’t care if youare in a part of the country that is dry and hot. This kind of heat is powerful and oppressive. What sort of big picture initiatives are you involved in that will help you run your properties more efficiently and help your tenants survive in a better fashion should these heat waves become routine? If there was a way to store the heat to use in the winter to heat your proeprties, that would be a great thing. If there was a way to difuse the heat or turn it into energy to use to cool buildings, wouldn’t that be something? Maybe this sounds like I have a little heat stroke myself, but we have always come up with a solution when a situation became difficult enough. I’m curious to see what you are working on. Let me know. bye for now, Tron
