| 11/1/19 | Ep50_Offsite Construction and High Performance | So many people are talking about offsite construction as an inevitable next step to solve the myriad housing issues we currently face, and we can't help but envision high-performance as going hand in hand with this movement. We discuss the evolution of these systems from the Sears Kit Homes of the 20's, to the race-to-the-bottom Post-war Mobile Home industry, to the Dwell Prefab dreams of the oughts, to the realities of today - both in the USA and in Europe. We'll discuss how the companies currently innovating in the space (including Phil's own BrightBuilt Home) are faring with their various business models, and what are the challenges and limitations are being faced by the different approaches. | — | ||||||
| 9/10/19 | Ep49_Siding | We know. You want a sustainable siding that is maintenance free and affordable. The problem is that there are just so many options from which to choose and it's difficult to wade through the ocean of literature and opinion to find the perfect siding for your sustainable home. Lucky for you, Chris and Phil have hit the record button on an in-depth conversation about siding (as well as a cocktail for the fleeting summer, the Montenegroni). Be sure to look for an upcoming article with GreenBuildingAdvisor.com and the article Chris authored for Green & Healthy Maine Homes magazine! Pro-tip it contains the chart mentioned in the podcast which can also be found at our lame Facebook page. Cheers. | — | ||||||
| 7/18/19 | Ep48_Embodied Carbon in Buildings | Phil and Chris define and discuss embodied carbon in buildings, and make an impassioned case for understanding why this is absolutely the most urgent issue we face in the design and construction industry today - even ahead of zero energy building - as we work together to combat a fast-approaching climate crisis. | — | ||||||
| 5/19/19 | Ep47_Solar Storage | In this episode, Chris and Phil head over to the Portland Pod to record because they have not one, but two guests (Geoff Sparrow and Fred Greenhalgh of Revision Energy) to talk about Solar Storage!

The whole gang will sip fancy sunny cocktails and talk about the pros and cons of solar storage, when to consider them, and your options for installation. | — | ||||||
| 3/13/19 | Ep46_Living Building Challenge | Phil and Chris talk about Living Building Challenge, a certification program that aims to transform the market place, with all its joys and challenges. Collaborating for the first time, their firms are working on an "LBC" project, The Ecology School in Saco, Maine. They discuss how this process has fundamentally changed how they practice as architects. | — | ||||||
| 2/4/19 |  Ep45_The Multi-zone Heat Pump Issue with guest Dana Fischer | In cold climates, Multi-zone heat pump systems (or multi-split systems) are developing a reputation for greatly under-performing , in terms of energy efficiency. Don't freak out! Chris and Phil have special guest, Dana Fischer of Mitsubishi, over to share a beverage and get to the bottom of this "problem" and how to properly approach the design of multi-zone heat pumps for your energy efficient house (or building). | — | ||||||
