Building Science for the Rest of Us

摘要

For more than 30 years, I've worked with dozens of weatheriza-tion agencies and hundreds of weatherization workers. Among other things, my firm performs quality-control audits following utility-sponsored weatherization work. The work is meant to lower utility costs for those who can't afford their utility bills. Once the weatherization work is done, the agency or utility that contracted the work hires me to make sure everything was done correctly. I also train weatherization workers and their supervisors in building science, air-sealing, and safe operation of combustion appliances. Both parts of my job give me the opportunity to work with all kinds of people and in all kinds of residential buildings.
