ACI 2014 -- Bridging the Gap

Shawna HendersonJune 03, 2014

Reflecting on last month’s adventure to Detroit and the ACI national conference... Biggest takeaway: I love building science wonks and home performance fanatics. They know how to discuss, argue, collaborate and host a wicked party (talking ‘bout you Mike Rogers and zymurgy accomplices). We kicked off our collaboration with Bill Spohn and TruTech Tools at ACI. And standing at the booth, surrounded by all the testing equipment, I certainly had a yearning to get back into fieldwork full time! (I tried to be discreet about fondling air flow meters and such.) I’m very happy Blue House Energy is associated with TruTech. Bill and his crew are knowledgeable, likeable guys, with a great reputation in the industry. So many good sessions to hit, not one person could take them all in. I’m happy to read recaps of the Great Ventilation Debate on the Energy Vanguard and OMStout blogs. I have to turn some focus back onto the state of ventilation standards in Canada to grock how the ASHRAE changes will impact F-326, or not (will post what I find out sometime). I got a lot out of the speed dating session on on-line tools and resources. I took in the sessions around bridging industry gaps, because that’s what I’m all about right now. Identifying the places where understanding energy efficiency and building science are blocked, or are blocking, uptake by any segment of the value chain.

Motown is full of building science wonks and home performance fanatics. I'm loving it. X

Motor City here I come!!!

So after a whole lotta juggling, I'm booked to go to ACI National Conference in Detroit. The agenda makes this building science wonk swoon. Three days of hard core building science, business development and industry visioning, I counted 10 tracks that I want to dive into and conflicting break out...
