Small Volume Builders Committee Meeting at BATC offices

5/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Date Occurred: 16 1214    As part of the builders discussion on the local shortage of carpenters and the need for training more , I weighed in on the need for increased training levels and higher trade proficiency to bring labor costs down for contractors and home owners while improving home energy efficency. Builders charge a premium for installing materials they are unaccustomed to. Higher trade proficiency in new building science based installation methods will allow builders to cost-effectively increase insulation levels and build tighter buildings while installing new building wrap technologies and higher quality windows and doors. Promoted energy efficiency and Passive House level quality of construction. Attended as a guest at the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC) offices.
Education, advocacy, learning and milestones.

    For my day job, I'm an architect focused on green design. Not a bad gig! Caring for the planet is a theme throughout my life. This page is where I like to talk about how that love for the earth plays out – in architecture and in my life.
