Improving Attic Thermal Performance
With metal roofing systems becoming more popular for new construction and retrofits, the Florida Solar Energy Center wanted to learn more about these roofing systems and their effect on thermal performance.
For homes in hot climates, roofing systems and attic thermal performance have a heavy impact on cooling energy use. Using insulation to control the heat flux from the attic into conditioned spaces through the ceiling is a known way to increase an attic's thermal performance, but there are other problems that need to be dealt with.There is heat gain to the thermal distribution system when ducts are located in the attic.Also, leaky supply ducts can cause negative pressures within the house when the air handler is on.The negative pressures can cause hot air from the attic to be drawn into the conditioned space through gaps around recessed light fixtures or other bypasses, adding further to the home's cooling load (see Figure 1).
With metal roofing systems becoming more popular for new construction and re-roofing, the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) wanted to learn more about these roofing systems, and about their effect on attic temperature.And we were curious to find out how well metal roofing systems performed compared to traditional black-shingle roofing systems. During the summer of 2002,we performed testing on four finished and unfinished metal roofing systems and two roofing systems using traditional dark asphalt shingles. Our research shows that controlling attic air temperatures can be just as important as reducing ceiling heat flux during times of peak cooling loads (see "Not So Extreme Attic Example," p. 14).We found that the metal roofing systems we tested generally perform well, although the performance of some of them degrades over time.
Side-by-Side Roof Testing
The experiments took place at our Flexible Roof Facility (FRF) in Cocoa, Florida.The FRF is a 24 ft x 48 ft frame building constructed with its long axis oriented east-west (see photo above).The roof and attic are partitioned to allow simultaneous testing of multiple roof configurations. The attic is sectioned into six 6-ft-wide test cells that are thermally separated by partitions.The partitions between the individual cells are well sealed to prevent air flow between cells and are insulated to R-20 using 3 inches of isocyanurate insulation.The gable roof has a 5/12 pitch and 3/4-inch plywood decking.With the exception of cell 2,R- 19 unsurfaced batt insulation is installed in a consistent fashion between the attic trusses in the test bays.The attic is separated from the conditioned interior by 1/2-inch gypsum board.The interior of the FRF is a single air-conditioned space.
The facility allows reconfiguration with different roofing products, and we've used it to examine different levels of ventilation and installation configurations for tile roofing.We've also compared reflective roofing, radiant barriers, and sealed attic construction. Our recent testing addressed several questions. (Note that 1:300 ventilation is 1 ft2 of attic ventilation, or net free vent area, per 300 ft2 of attic floor area.)
• What is the performance (ceiling flux and attic air temperatures) of a standard black asphalt shingle roof with 1:300 ventilation (the control cell)?
• How does the Galvalume metal roof compare in thermal performance with a galvanized metal roof?
• How does an ivory metal shingle roof perform compared with the roof with a lower solar reflectance that was installed the previous summer?
• How does an innovative double roof construction with an insulated roof deck, radiant barrier, and no attic ventilation perform compared with other types?
• How does a white standing-seam metal roof perform compared with an unfinished metal roof?
We used six different test configurations. (All the vented cells have soffit and ridge venting.)
Cell 1. A Galvalume 5-vee unfinished metal roof with a 1:300 vented attic (1st year tested).
Cell 2. Black asphalt shingles with a vented double roof deck, a radiant barrier, 6-inch foam insulation on the underside of the bottom roof deck, and an unvented attic (2nd year tested).
Cell 3. Solar-reflective ivory metal shingles with a 1:300 soffit and ridge ventilation (1st year tested).
Cell 4. A galvanized 5-vee unfinished metal roof with 1:300 ventilation (1st year tested).
Cell 5. Black asphalt shingles with a 1:300 soffit and ridge ventilation.This configuration has been installed for 15 years and is the control cell.
Cell 6. A white standing-seam metal roof with a 1:300 vented attic (7th year tested).
All the roofing materials were installed in a conventional manner according to the manufacturers' specifications.
We tested samples of the new unexposed roofing materials to establish their solar reflectance and long-wave emittance (see Table).There is a large difference in the long-wave emittance of the two unfinished metal roofs.The emittance of Galvalume (0.28) is much lower than that of the painted metal roof (0.83), but the emittance of the unfinished galvanized roof is much lower still (0.04). Generally, low emissive surfaces reach higher temperatures than high emissive surfaces since low emissive surfaces absorb more solar radiation and do not readily give up collected heat back to the sky or to their surroundings.
Using precision thermocouples,we made a number of temperature measurements at the exterior surface of the roof and the underlayment; at the underside of the deck; in attic air at several heights within the attic; in the soffit inlet air and ridge vent exit air; at the top surface of the insulation; and at the interior ceiling of the conditioned space.The outside air temperature, insolation, humidity, and rainfall were also measured.All of the test cells were monitored from June 5 to September 30, 2002.
Test Results
To find differences in space cooling, we evaluated the different roof systems to examine attic temperatures, heat flux through the ceiling into the conditioned space below, and the overall impacts of the thermal differences of the roofing system on required air conditioning.
Attic Air Temperatures
Controlling attic air temperatures is important, since the time when the attic becomes hottest—late afternoon—is almost always the time when the A/C runs the most and gains to the duct system are increased.The average summer day midattic air temperature profiles show the impact of the roofing options in reducing attic air temperatures and cooling energy use associated with attic duct heat gains and loads from unintended air leakage coming from the attic zone (see Figure 2).The statistics for the average, minimum, and maximum midattic air temperatures over the entire summer show that the sealed attic with the double roof provides the lowest overall mean attic temperatures (77.7ºF) and hence the lowest attic duct system heat gains and impact from return air leakage from the attic.
The next most productive roof combination in this regard is cell 6 with the vented white metal roof (81ºF). Cell 3, with the IR reflective metal shingle roof, had a very similar performance (82.2ºF). Next best in performance is cell 1, with the Galvalume metal roof and the vented attic at 83.6ºF.The low-emissivity galvanized metal roof (cell 4) was the least effective of the metal roof systems. Cell 4 attic temperature averaged 85.1ºF compared with the standard attic, which averaged 89.1ºF.
Maximum Attic Air Temperatures
We compared the average daily maximum midattic air temperature for each cell against the average daily maximum ambient air temperature along with the corresponding temperature difference for the full summer period.These results show the success of the various roofing options in controlling duct heat gains and loads from unintended air leakage under peak conditions for the period.
Note that cell 2, with the sealed attic and insulation on the underside of the roof decking cannot be directly compared with the other cells, because the other cells do not have roof deck insulation; instead, they have insulation on top of the ceiling.However, when we compared the 2002 summer results with the 1999 and 2000 cell 2 results (sealed attic without double roof deck and radiant barrier),we found that the average maximum midattic temperature difference from ambient was 4.7ºF lower for the double roof/radiant barrier combination than it was for the same sealed attic without the double roof.The maximum midattic temperature for the double roof deck and radiant barrier was 81.1ºF, or 7.1ºF lower than the averaged 1999 and 2000 results.The outdoor temperatures were quite similar during the two years in Florida's predictably hot summers.
The high-reflectance ivory metal shingle (cell 3) provided the coolest attic of the test cells without roof deck insulation. The average maximum midattic temperature in this case was 93.3ºF, or 7.4ºF higher than ambient. In 2001, the brown, IR reflective shingle on the test cell had a maximum attic air temperature that was 10.6ºF higher than ambient. In 2000, the brown (not-high reflectance) metal shingle that was on the same cell had an average maximum
attic temperature 13.5ºF higher than ambient, while in 1999, a white highreflectance metal shingle on the same cell had an average maximum attic temperature 3.8ºF higher than ambient. Thus, the new ivory colored IR reflective shingle is better than all the tested metal tile products except the white standing-seam metal roof.
The white standing-seam metal roof (cell 6) was cleaned prior to the test for comparison with the pristine Galvalume and galvanized metal roofs.Comparison with the previous year shows the benefits of the cleaning and venting. In 2001, the average daily maximum attic air temperature above ambient was +14.4ºF, as compared to +7.8ºF in the summer of 2002.
Ceiling Heat Flux
The uninsulated ceiling of the double roof with sealed attic (cell 2) has a peak heat flux similar to that of the control (cell 5), although with a significant time lag of over 3 hours (see Figure 3).The mean heat flux for the double roof is 0.98 Btu/ft2 per hour, or 40% higher than the control.The double roof showed both the lowest mean and peak attic air temperatures of the group, and the highest ceiling heat flux.This seemingly contradictory result stems from the fact that the floor of the sealed attic (which forms the ceiling of the conditioned zone) is not insulated, so that the attic is unintentionally conditioned—reducing the attic temperatures by increasing heat transfer to the interior space.The absence of insulation on the attic floor produces the high heat fluxes to the interior.
The high reflectance ivory metal shingle roof (cell 3) has the lowest peak ceiling heat flux at 1.19 Btu/ft2 per hour. It also has a relatively low mean flux of 0.39 Btu/ft2 per hour, which is slightly higher than the mean flux for the white metal roof at 0.30 Btu/ft2 per hour.The vented white metal roof shows the lowest overall average heat flux and thus the lowest indicated ceiling influence on cooling for the overall period.The Galvalume roof (mean heat flux of 0.43 Btu/ft2 per hour) performs similarly to the IR reflective roof.The galvanized metal roof has poorer performance (mean = 0.53 Btu/ft2 per hour).
Overall Impact of Roofing System
The impact of roofing on cooling energy typically depends on three factors.These are the ceiling heat flux to the interior from the attic, the heat gain to the duct system located in the attic space, and the air unintentionally drawn from the attic into conditioned space. The heat flux through the ceiling impacts the interior temperature and hence the thermostat, which then calls for mechanical cooling.Thus, the heat flux affects cooling energy use at all hours, as well as the demand for air conditioning.
The other two influences—air leakage drawn from the attic into the conditioned space and heat gain to the duct system—usually occur only when the cooling system operates.Thus, the impact depends on the air conditioner run time in a particular time interval, and also on the leakiness of the duct, and on the amount of duct insulation. To obtain the average cooling system run time,we used a large set of residential cooling energy use data. These data come from 171 homes in the central Florida area, where the 15- minute air conditioner power was measured for over a year.
For each site, the maximum demand during summer was also recorded to determine the maximum cooling system power.Thus, it was possible to determine the diversified run time fraction by dividing the average air conditioner system power by its maximum demand.This calculation was made by averaging the air conditioner and air handler power for all sites and dividing by the average maximum summer demand, which was 3.96 kW.
The average cooling system run time is at its maximum (approximately 55%) at 4 pm (same as system diversity) and is at its minimum of (15%) at 6 am. It is important to note that these figures are based on an average summer day, as determined by evaluating all data from June 5 to September 30 inclusive.They do not represent extreme summer day conditions.
To estimate the impact of each roofing system on attic temperature, we assume a typical single-story home with 2,000 ft2 of conditioned floor area (see Figures 4 and 5).All of the alternative test cells do better than the control cell.The white metal roof with ventilation (cell 6) does best, followed by the high-reflectance metal shingle roof (cell 3).The Galvalume metal roof with a ventilated attic provides about a 30% reduction in heat gain.The galvanized roof with its significantly lower emissivity, provides only about a 20% heat reduction.The sealed attic with the double roof—cell 5—provides the lowest reduction in daily heat gain. This is primarily a result of the much greater measured heat flux across the uninsulated ceiling in this configuration.
Long-Term Performance
As described earlier,we expect the unfinished galvanized steel roofing products to maintain their reflectance and emissivity properties less well over the long term than the Galvalume product.This is because the Galvalume's aluminum-zinc alloy resists corrosion better.The preliminary data verify this expectation.We compared the maximum average daily attic air temperature for the summers of 2003 and 2002, looking at three types of metal roofing—white standing seam, galvanized, and Galvalume—and standard black asphalt shingle (see Figure 6).While the average maximum outdoor air temperature was 0.7ºF cooler,we found that each product showed some signs of weathering and increased solar absorptance, resulting in attic heating.
The average maximum attic air temperature under the standard black shingle roof showed no change; it was 116.7ºF in both years.However, the average maximum attic air temperature under the galvanized metal roof was 4.2ºF hotter in 2003 than in 2002.The average maximum attic air temperature under the Galvalume roof was 2.1ºF hotter in 2003, while the white metal roof showed an average increase of only 0.9ºF.Note that white metal remained the best choice with Galvalume next. This is consistent with anecdotal observation (Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ).After additional years of exposure,we expect that the Galvalume and galvanized will differ more widely in thermal performance.We expect that Galvalume will better maintain its performance, with most weathering occurring within the first year.This is because its surface properties are tailored to maintain its reflectance and weather resistance.The white metal roof was weathered in the sense that it accumulated dust and dirt, but there were no changes to the surface characteristics caused by oxidation.The white metal roof also showed the lowest degradation of the three metal roofs. Within the project, performance is being monitored for a third year in the same configuration to examine any further changes due to weathering.
Ranking the Roofs
Our test results from the summer of 2002 allowed us to compare the relative thermal performance of finished and unfinished metal roofing systems under typical Florida summer conditions (see Figure 7).The vented standing-seam white metal roof had the lowest total system heat gain of all the tested roofs, since its ceiling heat flux was much lower than that for roofs with the sealed attic construction. Its attic temperatures were also much lower than those for the standard black shingle control cell.The average daily maximum attic temperature was only about 94ºF. Cooling- related savings were on the order of 47% of roof-related heat gain.
The sealed attic double roof system (cell 2) provided the coolest attic space of all systems tested (average maximum daily midattic temperature was 81.1ºF), and therefore also the lowest estimated duct leakage and duct conduction heat gains.However, it also had the highest ceiling heat flux of all systems tested, due to the fact that the ceiling was uninsulated.This reduced its improvement over the standard black shingle roof in the control cell to a modest 7% savings in roof-related cooling energy. Note also that since this double roof configuration provided significantly cooler attic temperatures than the standard sealed attic tested during the previous two summers, higher total heat gains should be anticipated from standard sealed attics. Of course, it would be possible to combine both technologies—a cool roof and sealed attic construction—to produce even better results than any shown here.This suggests an area for future research.
A major objective of the testing was to evaluate popular unfinished metal roofing systems.We tested an unfinished Galvalume 5-vee metal roof with attic ventilation as well as a galvanized 5-vee metal roof in an identical configuration.The galvanized roof has a high solar reflectance, but a much lower long-wave emittance than the Galvalume roof (0.04 versus 0.28 for the Galvalume), which we expected to hurt its performance.The monitoring bore out this expectation.The Galvalume metal roof ran cooler than the galvanized system and produced less roof-related heat gain.The Galvalume roof provided a 32% reduction in roof and attic-related heat gain over the summer as compared with a 22% reduction for the galvanized roof. Moreover, as galvanized roofs are known to lose their solar reflectance rapidly over time as the zinc surface oxidizes,we expect to see a further decrease in performance in future seasons of testing.Although white metal performs best, the Galvalume metal roofing surface is a good second choice for cooling related climates, and does nearly as well as the IR selective ivory metal shingles.
At an average maximum midattic temperature of 93.3ºF (23.4ºF lower than the black shingle control cell), the high reflectance ivory metal shingle roof (cell 3) provided the coolest peak attic temperature of all the cells without a double roof deck.While its reflectance was somewhat lower than that of the white metal roof, the air space under the metal shingles provides additional effective insulation. Both of these characteristics probably come into play to help the high-reflectance roof achieve lower peak attic temperatures, while the additional insulating effect explains its slightly higher nighttime attic temperatures.
We also estimated the combined impact of ceiling heat flux, duct heat gain, and air being unintentionally drawn from the attic into conditioned space for the various roof systems. These estimates indicate that all of the tested roof systems yield lower heat gains during the summer cooling season than the control roof with black shingles.The rank order is shown in Figure 7, with the percentage reduction of roof/attic related heat gain and the approximate overall building cooling energy savings. It appears that nighttime attic temperature and reverse ceiling heat flux have a significant impact on total daily heat gain, and with greater benefit to constructions that produce lower evening attic temperatures. Since the roof/attic ceiling heat flux, duct heat transfer, and duct leakage probably comprise about one-third of the total home cooling load, the above values can be modified to approximate the overall impact.
The rank order of the reductions is consistent with the whole-house roof testing that we completed for FPL in Fort Myers, which showed that white metal roofing brings about reductions on the order of 20% of space cooling. However, these results represent the first time that popular unfinished metal roofs have been comparatively evaluated.

For six days of the week the staff prepares all your meals.
Breakfast: We pride ourselves on giving you a great breakfast to start your day, with a choice of cereals, fresh fruit and juices, yoghurts, plentiful English tea and good filter coffee, bread freshly baked in our chalets each morning, cold meats, cheeses and preserves, and boiled eggs. This is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. And to cap it all, we also cook a hot dish of the day for you six days per week, such as sausage and bacon or pancakes with fresh fruit, individually served.
On the chalet hosts' day off, they will prepare a Continental style breakfast for you, which will be left for you to help yourselves, and that evening you have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants – our resort team will be happy to provide some suggestions. In our Chalet Hotels, a full buffet breakfast (including hot option) is also served on the staff's day off.
Afternoon Tea: The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. Children's High Tea: In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner. Families staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge at the time of booking only.
Dinner: A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host - or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets - and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.A special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Vegetarian options are always on our 'Culinary Choice' menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance.

"Great blinds"

I bought these to replace the exact same brand/style of blinds we've had for 18 years. We lucked out, and the old ones popped out and the new ones popped in without having to change any of the hardware. I love the top down/bottom up feature, and the blackout features works great. They are not as well made as the originals, however - plastic has replaced metal so they are not as heavy or sturdy - but if they last HALF as long as the first set, they will be worth it.View this product

This was such an easy process. I found the cost to be almost half of what was quoted when I contacted someone to have these installed!View this product

Series: From the Dust (13 entries)
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust".

A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.

This story was updated at 11:30 a.m., Friday, Oct. 11.
Montgomery County police have a suspect in custody who they believe committed a street robbery earlier this morning.
According to Angela Cruz, a police spokeswoman, police received a report of an armed robbery at around 7:30 a.m. in Wheaton.
The robbery took place near Carey Foley streets. The robber, a man, fled into a home on Atherton Drive at around 7:45 a.m., Cruz said.
Police denied access to part of Atherton Drive and warned residents to stay inside, during the arrest.
"There were a lot of police on my back porch," said Sarah Dow, who lives just a few houses down from the home the robber entered."Police told us not to go out."
She said she saw police escorting some women and children past her house, but wasn't sure if they came out of the home the robber entered.
"There were a lot of men, squad cars, but everything's safe now," she said.
A Montgomery County Police Emergency Response Team (SWAT) responded to the scene along with other units. Police arrested one person just before 9 a.m., about an hour after he entered the home, Cruz said.
At 10:15 a.m. police were beginning to clear the scene.
No additional information was immediately available.

Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon
Geologist Keith Miller examines the "Cambrian Explosion", a period of rapid evolutionary diversification approximately 575 million years ago, and whether it poses a challenge to evolutionary theory. From the June 2014 issue of Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith from the American Scientific Affiliation.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
In this paper, theologian John Wesley Wright reviews Connor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea, a work that deeply explores the integration of Darwinian evolutionary theory and Christian faith.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
The literary conventions employed in Genesis chapter 1 mark it out, not as a scientific document describing material origins, but as a theological polemic against surrounding ancient Near Eastern pagan religions. Creation language here and elsewhere in Scripture is not about establishing scientific origins of material substance and structure but about covenantal establishment and worldview.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
Harrell presents an accessible, thought-provoking exploration of evolution's witness to the God of creation.
Beyond the Firmament challenges all creationist camps to step outside of traditional paradigms and recognize how our modern scientific worldview actually blinds us from seeing the simple truth of Creation as it was originally intended.
Witham digs into the evolution-creation debate in contemporary America in this balanced and well-documented work of investigative journalism.
Anderson offers a rich, balanced look at how creation has been understood in both Judaism and Christianity.
Species of Origins counters the notion that there are only two positions at play in America's origins controversy: atheistic evolution and biblical creationism.
Lucidly and eloquently written, it is a work of the heart that helps us not only to understand deeply God's Word in its context, but also to consider how it applies to us today. -Amazon
Worlds Apart is the only book on the hotly-debated topic of evolution published by the denominational press of the conservative Church of the Nazarene.

Montgomery County Public Schools has cut three positions and part-time staff funding to make room for a new high-level administrator who will earn $165,875 a year.
Andrew Zuckerman became Superintendent Joshua P. Starr's chief of staff on Monday .
Brian Edwards, who served simultaneously as chief of staff and chief of communications, now will serve as chief of communications. Edwards' salary — $159,265, according to schools spokesperson Dana Tofig — will stay the same.
The positions cut to pay for the changes were central office jobs, said Chief Operating Officer Larry Bowers.
A position in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, held by an employee who retired, will not be filled, he said. A communications specialist position, which is currently listed as an open position, will not be filled. Similarly, a secretarial position in the long-range planning division will not be filled.
About $68,000 in funding for part-time staff also will be cut. Bowers said those funds are used to hire people, usually former or retired counselors, who help schools with scheduling.
Edwards, who was chief of staff under former superintendent Jerry Weast, adopted the communications position in 2010, when former Chief Communications Officer Aggie Alvez left the school system, Edwards said.
"Due to budget constraints, as well as the fact that Dr. Weast was in the last couple years of his contract, we just decided to merge that position under me," he said.
But with Starr's plans to ramp up communications efforts, the dual position had to be split back into the chief of staff and chief of communications roles.
"We need to have a robust communication effort," Edwards said, explaining that one person could not sustainably handle both jobs. "It made sense at this point to split those two roles."
Edwards will continue to report to Starr as the chief communications officer. Though he served as chief of staff before the two positions were merged, Edwards emphasized that he does not see his communications position as a step down in any way.
Zuckerman is the former associate superintendent for Prince George's County Schools, where he led a region of the county's schools. He has worked in administrative roles for that county since 2008, The Gazette previously reported.
Zuckerman said he and Starr had "a series of conversations" over a few months about the chief of staff position.
"We're working on similar goals and similar initiatives," Zuckerman said, including the implementation of Common Core State Standards and new evaluation processes for teachers and principals.
He applied for the position in May. Starr announced on May 14 that Zuckerman had been selected for the job.
Zuckerman expects "a fairly seamless transition" into MCPS, though he has not yet decided whether he will move into the county.

Lloyd Mats offer mats for every kind of car use, mats that fit luxury limousines, mats for utility trucks, and for any use falling inbetween these extremes. The Berber Mat is an excellent choice for the multipurpose family car that at 4 a.m. is hauling your kids from a lacrosse game, kids who climb in with soiled shoes and snack on chips and peanuts on the way home, then is used at 7 p.m. to pick up your boss for an important business meeting at the Hilton. The Berber Mat gives a genuine comfort feeling, yet withstands dirt and moisture. The ingenious pattern and structure has an uncanny ability to make dirt and spills invisible. This is a true multi-purpose car mat, equally suitable for interiors and cargo areas.

A quarter-century after he first began his mission to bring a high-speed, light rail transit line to Charles County, former county commissioner Gary V. Hodge held a public briefing on the project last week at the Waldorf West library.
Hodge, who now advises the county as president of his own consulting firm, began the meeting with a slideshow on light rail systems he had visited in the Phoenix and Tempe areas in Arizona, in Norfolk, Va., and Charlotte, N.C.
He pointed out recurring themes among the three systems, notably that surrounding private investment far outstripped each systems' cost, and that ridership tended to be double what was projected.
Hodge first began pushing for a light rail line in the region — the only one in the state west of the Chesapeake Bay without any passenger rail service — in 1988, when he was executive director of the Tri-County Council for Southern Maryland. Since then, he said, the "refrain" has been that Charles County needed denser development and higher potential ridership in order to support light rail transit.
"But then I visit these cities, and the character of these cities that have already accomplished this great achievement look very much like ours," Hodge said.
One advantage the county has, Hodge said, is its existing CSX freight rail line, which the proposed light rail line will follow from White Plains to Waldorf, where it will break off at Substation Road and divert along Route 5, with stops at Brandywine Crossing, the Southern Maryland Hospital Center in Clinton and Joint Base Andrews before ending at the Branch Avenue Metro station in Marlow Heights.
"Light rail is something that we can feasibly bring here," he added, recalling statements during the mid-1990s from then-Gov. Parris N. Glendening that the state was going to consider extending Metro service south along Route 5 to Waldorf, a prohibitively expensive project.
Hodge said the next "immediate goal" is to acquire $27 million to plan the project and get it in line for federal funding within the next five to seven years. Beyond that, construction depends on federal and state funding, "two huge ifs" given Congress' seeming inability to pass a long-term transporation plan and the state's backlog of unfunded transit projects.
Even if the funding is there, the project would take another five to eight years to build, Hodge said, "but I think everyone understands, I hope they do, the economic impact this could have.
"I've said that this project, were it successful, could have as big an impact on Charles County as the consolidation of [the Patuxent River Naval Air Station and the Naval Air Systems Command] had in the 90s or the building of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear [Power] Plant had in Calvert County in the 70s. This is a very, very big, important project."
Hodge said the goal is to break ground on the line by the end of the decade and "[see] the first train roll into Waldorf probably in the middle of the next decade, 2025."
Some have suggested a bus rapid transit system as a cheaper — and therefore more viable — alternative to light rail, but Hodge said that bus transit costs 75 percent as much as light rail to construct while carrying higher operating costs and generating less private investment.
Hodge said a current study nearing completion will address the best ways to encourage transit-oriented development in the designated 300-acre "Waldorf Urban Design Area," which includes development along U.S. 301 between just south of Leonardtown Road and north of Acton Lane, between now and when the rail line is completed.
"This new urban center, this walkable, mixed-used, transit-oriented development, it will have to grow and thrive in an environment which is not yet served by transit," he said. "So, part of that is infrastructure. Part of that is investing in the sewage treatment and an urban street grid, [and] public facilities and services that would be attractive to a developer."
La Plata resident Walt Roscello, a member of the Oxon Hill Bicycle and Trail Club, asked Hodge whether it was possible to quickly put in bike paths to help generate pedestrian traffic in the Waldorf Urban Design Area.
Hodge and Jason Groth, chief of resource and infrastructure management at the Charles County Department of Planning and Growth Management, both called Roscello's suggestion a "great idea" and one they hadn't considered previously but would look into incorporating.
Charles County Democratic Central Committee member Gene Davies asked Hodge whether there was any way to expedite the project using existing tax revenue.
"There's a perception that this is not a 12-year, but a two-year or a three-year [project] in the general public, and that is unfortunate" because it has led to the deprioritization of any improvements to the U.S. 301-Route 5 interchange in Brandywine, Davies said.
Hodge reiterated his belief that the light rail project could be funded solely through the gas taxes paid by county residents. He has been told that the state does not track how much it receives in gas tax revenue from each county, but Hodge estimates it's "$40 or $50 million a year, at least" from Charles.
Because the project needs $5 million annually for the next five years for planning purposes, "my argument is that ought to be available to us."

Despite several delays during the remodeling process, restaurateur Matt Largent hopes to have his new Kentlands restaurant up and running on Feb. 1.
The Germantown resident signed a 10-year lease in March on the building at 654 Center Point Way in Gaithersburg.
His plan has been to completely renovate the space and create a neighborhood eatery called Largent's Restaurant and Bar. The restaurant was originally scheduled to open last August, but a couple of unexpected delays pushed back the opening.
"Mainly the delays have just been trying to remodel," he said. "There were a lot of things that were not up to current code. Now, we're just trying to get inspections completed."
While some residents believe the space is "cursed" — the space has seen four tenants come and go in the past dozen years — Largent said he thinks the other establishments did not have the right business models for the Kentlands community.
The restaurant will not be a sports bar, but it will welcome fans with plenty of televisions for big games, according to Largent. The first floor will be more family oriented, and the main bar will be relocated to the second floor.
Largent specifically chose the Kentlands location because its small community feeling reminded him of his upbringing in Damascus. He wants the restaurant to be geared toward both children and adults.
"The Kentlands is a very family oriented neighborhood and that's where we want to be," he said. "The atmosphere is going to be more of a neighborhood restaurant."
One previous problem with the eatery's structure was a lack of sufficient bathroom space. Largent said adding bathrooms was already part of his plan, but the city of Gaithersburg offered to help pay for them.
"The city has long considered this design flaw to be both an inconvenience for patrons as well as a detriment for the space's marketability," Economic Development Director Tom Lonergan said in March.
Since then, Largent applied for one of the city's toolbox grants, which are designed to provide economic development incentives to businesses that exhibit growth potential, and provide stable, well-paying jobs.
While the location of Largent's eatery typically does not qualify for retail support, Lonergan said the city decided to award the $10,000 grant because of Largent's substantial investment in the stucture and the space's large size.
A grand opening celebration will be planned once the restaurant officially opens, Largent said.
