Energy Star New Home Savings at Brunswick Crossing

-2/28/12-

Brunswick Crossing is an ENERGY STAR  new home building community. Both Advantage Homes and Ryan Homes build ENERGY STAR homes. Visit Frederick County’s energy efficient, exciting planned community and see the savings!

Energy Star is an international standard for energy efficient consumer products originated in the United States of America. It was first created as a United States government program during the early 1990s. Devices carrying the Energy Star logo, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, buildings and other products, generally use 20%–30% less energy than required by federal standards.

A green home begins with Energy Star blue. Homebuilders and homebuyers across the country are increasingly interested in green building. But what exactly makes a home green? Green building means improving the way homes and homebuilding sites use energy, water, and materials to reduce impacts on human health and the environment. Building a green home means making environmentally-preferable and sustainable decisions throughout the building process-decisions that will minimize the environmental impact of the home while it is being built and over the many years it will be lived in.

Want to know how new homes earn the Energy Star? To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), making them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes.  Homes achieve this level of performance through a combination of energy–efficient improvements, including:

Effective Insulation Systems

High-Performance Windows

Tight Construction and Ducts

Efficient Heating and Cooling Equipment

ENERGY STAR Qualified Lighting and Appliances

Did you know that a typical home can cause twice the greenhouse gas emissions of the typical car?

What should homebuyers look for first in a green home?

Energy efficiency is the place to start. That’s because the energy used in homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and risks of global climate change. So, the less energy used, the less air pollution generated. And the easy way to make sure a new home is energy efficient is to look for the blue ENERGY STAR mark, the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency.

ENERGY STAR qualified homes are independently verified to meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes save money on utility bills, provide a more comfortable living environment with better indoor air quality, and help protect the environment.

Each ENERGY STAR qualified home can keep 4,500 lbs of greenhouse gases out of our air each year. And because homes have such long life spans, this environmental benefit lasts for many, many years.

These energy efficiency improvements save homeowners money — about $200 to $400 per year on utility bills. More importantly, monthly energy savings can easily exceed any additional mortgage cost for the energy efficiency improvements, resulting in a positive cash flow from the first day of home ownership. As a result, the cost-effectiveness of ENERGY STAR improvements can help offset additional costs associated with other green home features.

To ensure that a home meets ENERGY STAR guidelines, third–party verification by a certified Home Energy Rater (or equivalent) is required.  This Rater works closely with the builder throughout the construction process to help determine the needed energy–saving equipment and construction techniques and conduct required on–site diagnostic testing and inspections to document that the home is eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR label.

Since the inception of the ENERGY STAR for New Homes program, the program’s requirements have evolved.  Learn more about the history of the ENERGY STAR for New Homes Program.

We invite you to visit Brunswick Crossing and see our ENERGY STAR homes. There are five single family models and two new townhome models. We are proud to be an ENERGY STAR community.

A History of Snow in the region…

This is only the third time on record, dating to 1962, that an inch of snow has not fallen on any day so far this winter at Washington’s Dulles Airport. The last time this happened was the winter of 1985-1986. It’s just been one of those winters when the truly cold air from the heart of the arctic was unable to penetrate the United States on a regular basis. When it did, it was a fleeting cold outbreak; arriving and departing within 24 to 48 hours. Dominated by above-average warmth, snow-making winter storms were hard to come by. We are left with a relatively snowless United States. The immediate cause of the topsy-turvy weather is clear enough. A pattern of atmospheric circulation that tends to keep frigid air penned in the Arctic has weakened during the last two winters, allowing big tongues of cold air to descend far to the south, while masses of warmer air have moved north.

The February 5–6, 2010 North American blizzard, also known as “Snowmaggedon”, was a Category 3 (“Major”) nor’easter and severe weather event. The storm’s center tracked from Baja California Sur on February 2nd, 2010 to the North Carolina Atlantic coast on February 6th, 2010 before heading east out into the Atlantic. Effects were felt to the north and west of this track in northern Mexico, California, and the Southwestern, Midwestern, Southeastern, and most notably Mid-Atlantic States. Severe weather, including extensive flooding and landslides in Mexico, and historic snowfall totals in every one of the Mid-Atlantic states, brought deaths to Mexico, New Mexico, Virginia, and Maryland.

Most crippling was the widespread 20 to 35 in (50 to 90 cm) of snow dropped across southern Pennsylvania, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Delaware, and southern New Jersey, bringing air and Interstate Highway travel to a halt. While rail service south and west of Washington, D.C. was suspended, rail travel between D.C. and Boston was available with limited service. Blizzard conditions were reported in a relatively small area of Maryland, but near-blizzard conditions occurred across much of the Mid-Atlantic region.

This event was the second of four nor’easters during the 2009-2010 winters that brought heavy snow to enough of the Northeast’s population to be numerically recognized by NOAA‘s NESIS intensity rating. The first and third of these systems, the December 2009 Nor’easter and the February 9–10, 2010 North American blizzard, respectively, combined with this event to bring the snowiest winter on record to much of the Mid-Atlantic. Additionally, this event was the second of three major Mid-Atlantic snowstorms that occurred over a 12-day period; each subsequent storm focused its heaviest snow slightly farther north: the January 30, 2010 storm (not recognized by NESIS) dropped more than a foot of snow across Virginia and the lower Chesapeake Bay region, while the February 9–10, 2010 North American blizzard bulls-eyed the Maryland-Pennsylvania border with as much as 28 inches.

Snow or no snow visit Brunswick Crossing February 18, 2012 for our winter Frost Festival! Join in the fun with ice sculpture carving, horse and carriage riding, s’more making, and hot chocolate or slushy drinks for all! Oh, and meet Frosty the Snowman right here in  Brunswick Crossing, Frederick County’s most exciting planned community.

Nothing sweeter than a “Snow Dessert” at Brunswick Crossing!

-2/14/12-

Brunswick Crossing is looking forward to more of the white stuff….snow that is! Did you know there are delicious desserts to make with fresh snow? When it’s coming down in droves, why not make snow a theme for desserts. From real snow brought indoors to confections meant to mimic snow, work with what you’ve got. If it’s snowing outside, put it on your table with these snow desserts. Or invent your own new recipe!

Snow Ice Cream (an old-fashioned treat to make when the snow is fresh and clean)

Ingredients

3 cups loose clean snow

2 Tablespoons milk

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Mix all the ingredients, sample the result; add more sugar and vanilla extract to taste. Eat immediately. Makes 4 servings

Real Snow Pudding

Ingredients

1 cup milk (or chocolate milk)

½ cup super fine sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups clean fresh snow

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the milk, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Carefully stir the snow. Freeze, or scoop into bowls, and serve immediately.

Maple Snow Cone

Ingredients

Clean fresh snow

Maple syrup

Directions

Use a scoop to mound fresh snow in a cup. Drizzle maple syrup and serve immediately.

Healthy Homemade Snow Cones

Ingredients

1 ½ cups fresh snow

1 12-oz can frozen juice concentrate (any flavor)

¾ cup water

Directions

Combine thawed frozen fruit juice concentrate with water. In a large glass, pour about ¼ cup of the juice mixture over 1 ½ cups of fresh, clean snow. Set aside the remaining juice mixture for later.

Snow Cream

Ingredients

8 cups fresh clean snow

1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Place snow in a large bowl. Add milk and vanilla. Mix well. Enjoy!

Real Maple Syrup and Snow, a Yummy Combination! Maple Taffy

Special Equipment: Candy Thermometer and popsicle sticks

Ingredients

2 cups 100% real maple syrup

1 gallon clean fresh snow

15 wooden popsicle sticks

Directions

Pack a large bowl or baking dish full of clean fresh snow. Smooth the top of the snow flat, and place it in the freezer to stay cold while you cook the maple syrup.

Pour the maple syrup into a large stainless steel saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until a candy thermometer reads between 234-245 F (112-118C), or a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm ball. Do not over stir as this will cause the syrup to form sugar crystals.

Pour about 2 Tablespoons of syrup per piece over the snow in thin lines about 5 inches long placing a popsicle stick at the end of each row. Let the syrup strips cool and become firm for 3-5 seconds. Start winding the candy strips out of the snow into a lollipop around the end of the wooden popsicle stick. Eat while still a little warm. Or let cool longer for a harder piece of candy.

These treats are a great way to replenish energy after playing in the snow. In New England during the maple-tapping season, you will see signs for sugar-on-snow parties where you can eat it with the traditional accompaniments of apple cider, doughnuts, dill pickles, and saltines (to cut the sweetness). It is also a huge favorite in Canada!

With all these great family fun dishes to enjoy, the next snow will bring a new flavor to snow play. Brunswick Crossing is always finding fun for every season! Stop by and see us. We are Frederick County’s most exciting planned community!

How To Make the Best Snowman, just add snow

-2/13/12-

We are hoping for one good snow this winter in Brunswick Crossing! And if it comes, we will be ready to make our perfect snowman. Visit Brunswick Crossing February 18th, 2012 from noon till 5:00pm snow or shine for our winter Frost Festival. There might not be snowmen but there will be ice sculptures! In the meantime, here are some great tips for making the best snowman you ever saw:

The more dense snow is, the more moisture it contains. Snowball snow generally happens when the snow has fallen at a slightly warmer temperature. This allows some of the moisture to remain in the flakes and not get so icy and ‘dry’ like the super-fine powder. Snowflake snow has a distinct ‘crunch’ under foot, and sticks to itself very well. There are varying degrees of ‘stickiness’, but it works very well for things like snow sculptures, snowball fights, and for making a snowman. Sometimes, if the snow is really sticky, you may start rolling a snowball and it will become so heavy it’ll pull up all of your lawn’s snow, including some dirt and grass! You can just call this creative license and make a dirty snowman. Nobody has to know. :)
Here’s a step by step guide to make a traditional snowman.
1. Make sure your snow is the right consistency. If your snow isn’t sticky, you’re going to be a very frustrated snowman maker. Even if the snow is powdery the first day it falls, you may be able to wait a couple days if the temperature rises and it will soften up to the right consistency for you.
2. Keep that snowball rollin’. Start a decently sized snowball in your hands and place it gently on the ground. Depending on how much snow you have, you may need to adjust the size of your finished snowman. Begin rolling the ball so it picks up the snow around it. Gently push it along and be sure to rotate it in different directions so you don’t end up with a big cylinder or log. Try to plan out where you want your snowman to end up on the ground so by the time the snowball is big enough for the base, you won’t have to move it much further. Snow can get really heavy, really quickly!
3. Make the torso and head. Roll two more snowballs in the same fashion as the first, with each one a bit smaller. Stack them on top of one another and you should have a nice stack of snow to work with.
4. Give your Snowman a shave. Chances are, your snowballs aren’t perfectly round when you stack them on top of one another. If you see lumpy spots, pack some snow in by hand, or skim off parts that are sticking out and bumpy with the side of your mitten, a shovel, a scraper, or even a stick or rock. Once your snowballs are round enough for your taste, you can try taking your gloves off and run your hands all over the snow to melt it a little and create an icy seal. This isn’t recommended if you can’t get inside to warm your hands soon afterward!
5. Pick your accessories. Now we’ve been referring to this as a snowman this whole time, but of course it could be a snow woman, too! Traditionally, people stick a couple of twigs in for arms, find some coal, rocks, or old buttons for eyes and a mouth, and shove a carrot in for a nose, maybe adding a hat and scarf and some coal buttons down the center. If you don’t have coal, you could just use regular pebbles, or even food like chocolate sandwich cookies, jellybeans, or chocolate coated nuts. Be creative!

Enjoy any season here at Brunswick Crossing minutes from Frederick. We are the most exciting planned community in Frederick County!

Share the Warmth: Brunswick Crossing collects Coats for Beacon

-2/11/12-

This year, Brunswick Crossing is sharing the warmth by collecting gently used coats that will be donated to Beacon. Time to give that coat closest a look. Stop by the Visitor’s Cottage to drop off in the Coats for Beacon box. We will be collecting coats up until February 19th.

Brunswick Crossing will be hosting Frost Festival again this year with plenty of winter fun! Entertainment will begin at noon until 5:00PM on February 18th, 2012. Watch as ice sculptures are created before your very eyes. Take a ride on the horse and carriage through Frederick County’s most exciting planned community. Enjoy making s’mores as you sip on a warm cup of hot chocolate or a cold, delicious slushy. Meet Frosty the Snowman. And, if you are feeling lucky, enter to win a free iPad 2.

About Brunswick Beacon:

Brunswick Beacon puts groceries on empty kitchen shelves. It keeps the power on for families during the winter months. The Brunswick Ecumenical Assistance Committee on Needs, aka BEACON, began five years ago as an umbrella organization of the Brunswick Food Bank and the Emergency Relief Fund.

Five years after its founding, BEACON is also involved in Mission of Mercy breakfasts, monthly pantries-on-the-go, an annual school supply drive, a senior community event, Thanksgiving baskets for needy families and the community secret Santa program.

Pantry-on-the-go is a once-a-month food drop with a minimum of 6,000 pounds of food distributed. Volunteers distribute the food to local households in one day.

BEACON recently moved into the Community Agency School Services building at 601 E. Potomac St., Brunswick. Before the move, its files and other materials were scattered among houses and churches.

At Beacon, they hope one day there wouldn’t be a need for BEACON, but as long as there is a need in Brunswick, BEACON will be there.

Great winter fun! Wonderful, warm, winter cause! Frost Festival at Brunswick Crossing!

Take a ride our own Surrey at the Brunswick Crossing Frost Festival! (Fringe Optional)

-2/9/12-

Brunswick Crossing will once again host our winter “Frost Festival”. One of the favorite main attractions will be a horse drawn carriage ride by Carriages of the Capital. Enjoy strolling through Brunswick Crossing’s most exciting planned community on a free carriage ride.

Since Brunswick Crossing will have a horse drawn carriage ride, here is a little history on the subject. The classic definition of a carriage is a four-wheeled horse-drawn private passenger vehicle with leaf springs or leather strapping for suspension, whether light, smart and fast or heavy, large and comfortable. The original carriages of the 17th century were basic vehicles without springs. Horse drawn carriages were in widespread use from the 18th century until the early 1900s. The carriages came in a variety of types, from public stagecoach to elegant private vehicles, though some were also used to transport goods.

Coach-builders cooperated with carvers and gilders, painters and lacquer workers, glazers and upholsterers to produce not just the family’s state coach for weddings and funerals but comfortable vehicles for pleasure riding and display.

Horse-drawn carts have existed in numerous forms throughout history and across the world. More than 300 different types of horse-drawn carriages have been recorded throughout the years, including the cabriolet, road coach, stagecoach, and the wagonette. Indeed, by the 1800s, one’s choice of horse-drawn vehicle was viewed as a status symbol reflecting a person’s income and personal taste.

In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, it was a primary mode of short-distance personal transportation, especially between 1815 and 1915. Buggies required at least crudely graded main roadways. The growing use of buggies for local travel expanded, along with stage lines and railroads for longer trips. In cities, and towns, horse drawn railed vehicles, gave carriage to poor, workers, and the lower middle class. The upper-middle class used buggies, as did farmers, while the rich had the more elegant 4 wheel carriages for local use. Until mass production of the automobile brought its price within the reach of the working class, horse-drawn conveyances were the most common means of local transport in towns and nearby countryside. Buggies cost as little as $25 to $50, and could easily be hitched and driven by untrained men, women or children. In the United States, hundreds of small companies produced buggies, and their wide use helped to encourage the grading and graveling of main rural roads, and actual paving in towns. This provided all-weather passage within and between larger towns.

Even in the 21st Century, the buggy is still used by the Amish and other groups within various Anabaptist faith traditions as a religiously compliant, non-motorized form of basic transportation.

Today, draft horse breeds are still displayed at ceremonial events such as when the queen of England is trooping the royal colors. They’re also found at horse driving shows, where teams of highly trained draft horses pull carriages of various sizes. One of the most common uses of horse and carts nowadays are in paid city tours or even as taxis, in cities throughout the world.

During the holiday season you can enjoy horse drawn carriage rides through downtown Frederick at Shab Row or Market Street. Take a tour of beautiful downtown at a slower pace.

Stop out and visit Brunswick Crossing on February 18th from noon till 5:00PM and enjoy a carriage ride and exciting fun at Frost Festival 2012!

Ready for S’mores? Brunswick Crossing heats up with the Frost Festival on Feb 18th!

-2/4/12-

Are you ready for S’mores at the Brunswick Crossing Frost Festival coming up on February 18th? Bring back those Girl Scout memories and make some smore’s.  S’more appears to be a contraction of the phrase, “some more.” While the origin of the dessert is unclear, the first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the publication “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts” of 1927. The recipe is credited to Loretta Scott Crew, who reportedly made them by the campfire for the Scouts.[ It is unknown whether the Girl Scouts were the first to make s’mores, but there appears to be no earlier claim to this snack. Although it is unknown when the name was shortened, recipes for “Some Mores” are in various Girl Scout publications until at least 1971.

Things You’ll Need

  • A blazing campfire or fireplace
  • 1 bag of large marshmallows
  • 1/2 milk chocolate candy bar per person
  • 1 box Graham crackers
  • Long forks or sharpened sticks

1 Place one marshmallow on the end of a long cooking fork or sharpened stick. If you are using a stick, make sure that it is green and that you have stripped the bark off and whittled the end so that the marshmallow can be skewered on for its whole length.

2 Roast the marshmallow by holding the stick or long cooking fork over the fire but not in the flames. The marshmallow will expand as it heats. Unless you place the marshmallow directly into the flame, after several minutes it will begin to brown. The outside of the marshmallow will get somewhat crispy. Keep the marshmallow cooking until you like the result. Be careful not to let the marshmallow overcook because it can burst into flames. Of course, if you like char-broiled marshmallows, let it catch fire and then blow it out for a blackened result.

3 Snap a Graham cracker in half along the scored line in the middle of the cookie.

4 Unwrap the chocolate bar. Snap off a piece that is the same size as one half Graham cracker. Place the candy on top of one of the Graham crackers.

5 Position the hot marshmallow so that it touches the chocolate. Cover the marshmallow with the other half of the Graham cracker so that it looks like a sandwich. Hold both pieces of the Graham cracker and push gently. The hot marshmallow will melt into the chocolate on one side. It will also melt into the top Graham cracker. Once it melts a bit, gently pull the stick or the long cooking fork off of the marshmallow. Voila the Smore – ready to eat. Don’t forget to lick your fingers before making your next one!

Make your own at home or join us at the Brunswick Crossing Frost Festival for Smores and more frozen fun on February 18th 12-5pm!
