I hope you will join me and take this class.
This is the real deal. Not green washing,
but the real green, the nitty gritty work
of building healthy, comfortable buildings
with no mold,
no bugs,
no vermin,
and low energy use.
Buildings that work.

The Science of Sustainable Building

How to build an energy efficient, healthy and
comfortable building with a focus on building
energy dynamics, exterior envelope engineering,
building systems operations and building envelope design.

A 5 part class for architects, developers,
weatherization personnel, building auditors,
engineers and climate change advocates
