EP38 Personalized Home Performance - Bill Spohn's new home construction Part 1

Today we turn the tables and your host becomes the guest!



As you may or may not know Marilyn and I are building a new high-performance home this year (2019).

 

Even though I have been involved in home performance for 30 years, it was in the narrow field of test and measurement, not in construction detail and aspects.

 

And because it is our home and our money, everything about it is personal and I have a real hunger for the details which tends to complicate decisions!

 

So, I asked my thoughtful pal, Nate Adams to pitch some questions at me to get me to talk about the subject and share our journey up to this point.

 

We were calling it a high-performance house, but recently I've changed that to a new concept (in my mind): personalized performance – it's what we want our home to be.

 

I hope you enjoy the listen.

Ever wonder why some buildings feel just right-healthy, comfortable, and surprisingly efficient-while others seem to work against you? That’s the territory explored in Building HVAC Science, a podcast hosted by seasoned experts Eric Kaiser and Bill Spohn. This isn't just about thermostats and ductwork; it's a deep, practical dive into the physics and principles that make indoor environments work. You’ll hear conversations that dissect real-world diagnostics, question common practices, and explain the often-overlooked science behind temperature, airflow, and moisture. The discussions naturally progress from foundational concepts to the latest tools and technologies used for measurement and verification, always linking theory to tangible results in building performance. By focusing on the interplay between proper HVAC design, installation, and human well-being, this podcast provides actionable knowledge for professionals and curious minds alike. Tune in for a clear-eyed look at how understanding the built environment leads to spaces that are better for both people and the planet.
