history 101I try not to pre-judge things, but when you’ve lived in the same place for more than a little while, you can start to think you’ve seen most every

neighborhood. When I decided to go visit a new mobile-home listing in Carpinte-ria last week, I thought I knew where I was going and what to expect. Boy, was I wrong.

I turned off the freeway at Santa Claus Lane, and before I even got to the park, I passed an orchid nursery, an avocado

ranch, a dog boarding camp, and a minia-ture horse farm. This variety of sights was all within a quaint quarter-mile area, with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. I realized that I had taken the scenic route, but the picturesque detour was well worth the drive.

As I entered Sandpiper Village, I again chose the long way around. Driving along streets with names such as Beach Street, Sunset View, and Pacific View Drive, I smiled at the pretty landscaping, the obvi-

ous pride-of-ownership, and the quiet, beachy, country-lane atmosphere. A play-house was a sign that this was an all-ages park, and a beagle sitting in the sun told me that, yes, pets are allowed.

I found home #204 toward the back in what appeared to be a quiet corner of the quiet section of the park. The sunny yellow exterior and friendly, flower-laden porch beckoned me up a short staircase to the front door. Once inside, I was surprised by the spacious, modern interior with angled walls and high ceilings. The front room is an airy living room/dining room combo with big windows and lots of light. The kitchen is behind a clever alcove, which separates the spaces yet keeps the feeling open. The kitchen itself is cute, efficient, and retro in feel. Its green-edged, white countertops echo the unexpected angles of the front room with an off-kilter counter, offering both personality and additional prep space.

A hallway leads back to the two bedrooms and two full baths, with a side door out to the backyard, where there’s enough room for a garden and even an outdoor-patio eating area.

The home is situated to enjoy both moun-tain views from the front porch and a peek of the ocean from the back bedroom. Laundry, a carport, and a storage shed in the back provide all of the amenities of a “real” home.

I learned that the clubhouse I had passed on my way in offers a pool, spa, ten-nis courts, a gym, and even a dog park for year-round, on-site recreation. Of course, Santa Claus Lane and its beautiful beach are practically next door, and downtown Carpinteria is just down the road.

My visit to Sandpiper Village left me feeling like I had uncovered another hid-den jewel in our community: a mobile-home park that looks, acts, and feels much more like a seaside resort.

Reconfiguring your energy consumption to reduce environmental impact is no simple undertaking and can often end up being a costly, complicated matter. But

that’s where DELux LED comes in.“Over the years, we’ve found that people love

the idea of saving money, saving energy, saving the environment,” said Jason Weaver, DELux’s president and CEO. “But they’re not so keen on the idea of spending hundreds of dol-lars all at once to buy these LED bulbs.”

Based in Goleta, DELux LED manufactures and dis-tributes LED (light-emitting diode) lightbulbs and fixtures for residential and commer-cial use that come in a variety of sizes and styles. LED bulbs, whose use has skyrocketed over the last decade, save sig-nificantly more energy than their more common incan-descent counterparts and last as long as 20 years.

Customer savings come in the form of the company’s Pay as You Save (PAYS) program, where the money that customers save on their electric bills from switching to LEDs becomes their pay-ment toward their new bulbs, which come with a five-year warranty. Since entering the industry, Weaver and his team have accumulated numer-ous design and utility patents.

For Weaver, the potential of LEDs was first illuminated at a 10-day RV show a decade ago

where he witnessed a homemade-LED vendor consistently selling out his stock. That was when the lightbulb lit up over his head, and he realized that “there’s something to this whole LED thing.”

From there, he jumped into the niche market with Starlights, Inc., producing 12-volt bulbs for RVs, boats, and cars. The residential and com-mercial market, however, was where he really

wanted to be. “One of the big-gest challenges that we were trying to overcome was how do we get these bulbs into as many people’s hands as pos-sible, and how do we get over the initial price shock,” he said.

With the drop in LED prices and an increase in their quality, DELux LED was born. The company’s PAYS program emerged as a hybrid between different energy-saving pay-ment plans Weaver had pre-viously encountered. “I think [the PAYS program would] be much more palatable for peo-ple to take the plunge because it’s a net-zero cost to them,” he said of enticing potential cus-

tomers into reducing their energy consumption.DELux LED, which manufactures and con-

solidates its parts in China, distributes its bulbs and fixtures from its warehouse in Goleta. Cus-tomers have included the Lobero Theatre, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, and the Santa Barbara Zoo.

DELux LED’s Innovative Way to Change Your Bulbs

Goleta Company Lowers Cost and Environmental

Impactby Sam Goldman

A recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Labora-tory found that home buyers would pay $15,000 more for a house if it came with an average-sized photovoltaic array (3.8 kilowatt PV system). The study used regional

appraisers familiar with their specific markets to compare the sale of homes with and without PVs in six states scattered across the country.

This multi-state report analyzed the sales of 43 pairs of comparable houses. One house in each pair had photovol-taics, while the other did not. The team started with a pool of 208 solar-equipped, recently sold homes. But after an ini-tial screening, only 20 percent (43) were inves-tigated in depth because of the challenge of find-ing closely comparable homes without a solar array that had also sold in the near past.

Why is this research important? Most home mortgage underwriters require that the sales-comparison approach be used in an appraisal. So if one’s home has a PV system but there isn’t another close-by, recently sold, similar prop-erty also with a solar system, the result is often a zero value assigned to the PV system. Thus, this “first-of-its-kind” study comparing home valuation by appraisers with “statistically derived” comparisons now gives the appraisal and lending industry a guide to use — one based on paired-sales analysis for evaluating homes with photovoltaics when comparable sales are not available.

With solar energy on the upsurge in the U.S. With solar energy on the upsurge in the U.S. With solar energy on the upsurge in the U.S.— 40 percent of all new electric-generating capacity brought online in the first half of 2015 — this study provides an additional incentive for home owners to go solar. They can now be assured that they will recoup their invest-ment whenever they do sell. Another nudge to act now is the 30 per-cent federal tax credit for photovoltaics that sunsets at the end of 2016. It may disappear completely after that date or be greatly diminished.

Those of us in the green building/remodeling industry have fre-quently been frustrated by low or zero values for green features built into our projects when appraisals are conducted, mostly because of unfamiliarity or lack of industry guidelines for the appraisers to consult. At least with solar arrays, this should no longer be the case.

A laundry machine can use between 10 and 45 gallons per wash load, depending on whether it’s a high-efficiency or top-

loading washer. Changing your laundry out-flow to a landscape gray-water system is a great way to reuse water at your home and reduce your water bills. Learn more about gray-water systems (and potential rebates on them) at santabarbaraca.gov/waterwise, or check out the Laundry to Landscape DVD at your local library. The site also holds informa-tion on the rebates available on new high-efficiency clothes washers. —Madeline Ward,
