This week, Matt is joined by building performance expert, Randy Williams. Their discussion centers on building science and energy efficiency in home construction, emphasizing the importance of blower door tests to identify air leaks and improve insulation.

Matt and Randy highlight practical advice for homeowners and builders, including conducting energy audits and mid-build tests to enhance building performance. They also touch on the costs and training required for energy auditing, with recommendations to use resources like BPI for certification.
