the Building Performance Podcast

The Building Performance Podcast is an interview series drawing on the experience and ideas of a wide array of professionals in the high performance building industry. The intersection of advances in building technologies, the energy crisis, green building trends, and the environmental crisis has made it hard to pursue business-as-usual. The general climate is forcing those of us in the building industry to take a more integrated, systematic approach to building.We talk with engineers, policy makers, program managers, contractors, diagnosticians, ESCOs, architects, utilities, and building managers, among others. Hosted by Corbett Lunsford of the Building Performance Workshop, author of Home Performance Diagnostics and creator of an arsenal of resources for understanding and using home performance testing.

Bits and pieces

I am a newbie to the industry so I am looking for a bit more meat, I find that while the show opens up a lot of topics and brings to light building performance ideas, the instruction or what I can walk away with is actually very minimal. I have listened to over 10 podcast now but find maybe a nugget here or there. Dont get me wrong, I am spending time learning on my own as well, buying the book online too, but was kind of hoping for a bit more instruction on these as opposed to a trip down memory lane on how the industry used to be. I still rated it 4-stars because my expectation is instruction which it is light on but the podcast is called building performance, that is what they talk about.

Great Building Performance Podcast!

What Corbett lacks in audio/recording equipment, he makes up for with a good variety of interesting building science topics. I always look forward to his discussion with subject matter experts!

Corbett does a great job

This is a very valuable source of information for anyone in the building performance field. Corbett does a great job finding professionals that have unique knowledge that can really help those of us in this field. He also does an amazing job interviewing and creating a high quality podcast. Thanks Corbett, keep up the good work.

Feel good in your home, wanna feel better?

Then listen to Corbett and his guests as they talk through, and inform you: what problems occur; what real solutions/processes (and not necessarily products) exist; and how you can implement them.

Great podcast!

Good information for those who want to learn about building performance. Technical information, but very easy to listen to and understand.

Great Resource

Each episode has taught me something new. Corbett is a master at presenting complicated building performance concepts in a simple, and compelling, manner. His podcast features the people that are leading the way in implementing and evaluating building performance products and processes.

Thanks, more please.

Less chat and more “I build/install X because Y in region R and that contributes Z in performance of building types B”.

Unparalleled quality!

Corbett's podcasts rock! I'm a devoted listener and know that anyone who is serious about home performance will consider his podcasts time well spent. There is information in his podcasts that literally can't be found elsewhere. Hearing industry experts dig into ideas and issues in their own words and voice deepens everyone's connection to the information covered and makes it more fun, interesting and accessible. His ability to get at the story behind the story and a offer listeners perspective, clear understanding and a sense of the connectedness of topics is a huge benefit for his listeners and for the entire industry. Keep up the good work Corbett!

Necessary listening

Corbett’s podcast is really essential listening, to my mind, if you want to have a picture of what’s happening across the spread of the building health-&-efficiency field’s issues and developments, but you can’t be reading all the time. I’m very grateful for this unique — and surprisingly long-lasting — project of his. Hope he keeps it going for a long time to come.

A monthly revelation.

This is a must hear for anyone looking to build or remodel. Every episode is a great jumping off point for something that I hadn't known. Being the greedy type, I would like more, but I'm just happy that the show is still going on. It's been a life-changer for me.

High-quality information, delivered in a succinct and engaging format

Corbett Lunsford's Building Performance podcasts reflect the direct, engaging and entertaining style of his excellent book (Home Performance Diagnostics). These podcasts provide important and useful information from a wide variety of experts, delivered in neat package that's easy to listen to and absorb. I don't know of any podcasts of even remotely similar technical quality (not to mention entertainment value!) in the Building Science space. If you're interested in buildings, why they behave the way they do, and the tools and techniques used to understand them... you're going to enjoy these podcasts.

Great!

This is what I've been looking for. A no nonsense podcast about building green. There is a lot to learn here. Thank you!

Great podcast!

Green Dream Group really knows their stuff! They bring in experts who have a lot of hands-on experience, and ask great questions. Only way I think they could improve is to bring in people who know a little less, to educate all of us non-experts from the ground up! Looking forward to the next installment...
