Food is brought in, beer is consumed, a blackboard is present and a topic is brought up for discussion.\u00a0 (topics  like, high performance windows, venting cathedral ceilings, moisture migration in wall assemblies, slab on grade details, etc.) Since we are all peers, and colleagues (with egos, attitude, and a good sense of humor) the conversation is usually lively, informal and frankly all over the place.\u00a0 There\u2019s usually a moderator to keep everyone reined in and on topic.  Every once in a while I have the pleasure of being that moderator, but that is only when builder, Dan Kolbert can\u2019t attend.  Dan while on a rant once, expressed frustration with the status quo, and even more frustration with the various rating systems that had him jumping through many hoops to prove that his work was in fact \u201cgreen\u201d and energy efficient.\u00a0 As many can attest, these systems can be very costly in time and money, and in the case of many green projects, they aren\u2019t doing anything to advance the project.  Rather they are simply certifying them.  So Dan simply stated, \u201cI just want to build a pretty good house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class>&#8211; Chris Briley<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prettygoodhouse.org\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Luz Motsinger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the name\u2026.\u00a0In southern Maine, there\u2019s a small group of building professionals that get together monthly to discuss building science.\u00a0 It sounds boring, I know, but truly it isn\u2019t.
