  16. I have both of Marion's "Residential Retrofit" books, so already knew this would be a good episode, even then it blew me away. Myth busting that low energy buildings require the occupant to "manage" their environment, and the "rebound effect" is a non-issue as once energy demand has been reduced by 80%, even doubling that still works out to be less energy.

  20. Radon levels vary significantly depending on a building’s construction year 🏠
    The Canada Cross-Radon Survey includes a detailed Alberta case study (p.51) showing how radon behaviour changes across construction periods.

  28. Fellow #BuildingScience nerds: any recommendations for a Kill-a-Watt or Emporia-Vue-like power meters? Assume I know nothing. Are electric box meters better? Point-of-use? Would love any insights you want to share. Main goal is understanding how much power different devices use / adjusting behavior.

  34. Okay, I recently learned how bricks work, and WHAT THE HELL MAN.

    So, the brick acts like a sponge, soaking up water when it rains. The reason the water doesn't just end up inside is that the brick...just kinds of holds onto it.

    In other words, old brick buildings are like giant sponges, and you basically hope they sponge longer than it rains, or else you get wet. If you live somewhere rainy, you just add (you guessed it) MORE BRICK.

  35. At the Northeast Building Science Symposium in Stratford, CT. In the very very unlikely event that any of you are here, lemme know! #BuildingScience #BS_and_Beer

  36. If exposed timber studs show signs of mould growth during construction, the mould must be remediated before it is enclosed in the wall. If not, mould will continue to grow inside the wall #healthyBuildings #ArchitecturalScience #BuildingScience

  37. Some contemporary architectural design elements can let water penetrate the envelope:
    - Boxy designs with articulated walls that jut in and out have gutters that are not straight.
    - Ledges where wall materials change
    - Box gutters without sumps
    - Sky lights
    - Flat roof
    - Balconies
    If buildings have these elements, be extra mindful of thoughtful detailing! #healthyBuildings #ArchitecturalScience #BuildingScience

  38. Water damage in buildings cause mould growth. Some people develop Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) where their bodies can't clear the biotoxins found in fungi. #healthyBuildings #ArchitecturalScience #BuildingScience
