We’ve replaced all thermostats with programmable thermostats and plan to further insulate the attic. This summer we’ll also replace weather stripping around our front door.
One of the few celebs that walks the walk when it comes to "green" stuff. Most celebs say one thing, when the cameras are on, then hop in their private jet to fly off somewhere. I don't care for his liberal politics, but, when it comes to "green" stuff, he does what he says.
I thought I remembered Ed Begley Jr. using an exercise bike on his balcony and the bike generated power as he cycled that he would then use in the house. I’m looking for that because I’d love to set that up for myself.
I remember it too. I was impressed with how hardcore he was. The show was in his old house. It was on briefly about 11 years ago. I would love to find it too❤️😊
I want more info on those tubes that cool the solar panels and heat the water. I have solar but it gets incredibly hot here so that seems like a great addition.
I would love to know how much it cost to build this place. It is very energy efficient but damn. There was some homes I visited back around 2013 in Irvine that were built for Energy Efficiency. They're going for about close to a million then. I would like to know how that switch in the laundry room works. I can't imagine that you could just flick a switch and either have the water going to the sewer or going to the garden.
In acting school they teach you not to blink when you're on camera. It's weird in a casual environment but it's probably so ingrained in his head he does it without thinking.
Yet building a new house instead of staying in your well-built energy efficient existing house was not good for the environment. And you will be making more greenhouse gas emissions in this new house.
What sustainable changes/upgrades have you made to your home lately?

Clothes line
I've been saving my poop to grow plants for food. Shitz amazing
Went back to bar soap and washcloths. Cloth napkins and never any paper plates. We already compost and garden. Baby steps.
Gotta love Ed Begley Jr.
Great tour of a sustainable home - lots of little take-aways for homeowners. Thanks Rise! Will share this with our #VancouverIsland fans.
I miss his shows

I have said the same thing. I respect him, because he practices what he preaches. Leonardo DiCaprio, on the other hand, is a complete hypocrite.
They are low-flow toilets, Jimmy! From now on flush!!
I love this guy. I just watched she devil.

That sounds like an urban legend! 😂
Rise Lol, yeah, it does sound incredible, but I distinctly remember seeing it in a television program that was doing a segment about him.
That doesn't sound like an urban legend it sounds like Ed Beagly jr. .
That’s his old house

At which point do I invest in a Cinco-Fone?
I’ll call you and we can talk about investing in one. Actually no wait! I can’t call you! You call me. No wait!
TWO THUMBS WAY UP
Thank you 🙏
Cliff main!

Very interesting. Regards from Poland.
This guy is an actual boss
Happy Birthday to Ed!9-16-49.CT.My mom could use a steam powered toaster.Just Kidding!
The entire planet would be better off if we had listened to him.
What is the real R value of his wall? LGSF would normally device whatever the insulation can contribute by 50%.
it all started with the cinco fone
This guy ran Davis & Main legal firm. I'd trust him
Ed is actually my 3rd cousin. I found out on ancestry
My hero
and what's the price tag on this place?
I feel demeaned being lectured by a senior citizen on 21 century technology
Yes. Clearly youngun's need to up their game...
Shaka Zulu no he’s just telling his side and experience.
That's a 'you' problem.

Not “recycled” wood Ed, reused. Big difference.
Cinco-Fone
Surprised he isn't in a tiny home.
Think of how much resources we could save if all 7 billion ppl on the planet had a house like this.
I love the guy, but does he ever blink?
He has Parkinson’s Disease. I love him too.

The way Ed speaks kind of reminds me of President Biden. Does he have early Parkinson's too??
Yes he was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2016. Great guy and actor.
