Most buildings are already failing before anyone moves in

Not because of bad materials. Not because of lazy workers. Because nobody taught the people who built them what actually happens inside a wall: how heat moves through every stud, how moisture collects in places no inspector ever looks, and how air leaks through gaps no code requires anyone to seal.

This book is about fixing that. I have spent more than five decades in construction as a carpenter, designer, energy auditor and inventor. I have seen what code-minimum buildings become over time, and I wrote this so you do not have to learn it the hard way.

What you will walk away with

• A clear understanding of the four control layers that govern every building envelope
• The ability to spot where buildings fail, and why
• Practical, affordable strategies for new construction and retrofits
• The confidence to build beyond code minimum, in any climate

Two formats, one education

Narrated by a professional voice actor, and paired with the complete ebook for reference at home or on the job. Listen in the truck between job sites, then look it up when you need it.

Whether you are a builder, a homeowner trying to understand why your house costs so much to heat and cool, or an architect designing your first high-performance assembly, this is the science explained straight, without the jargon.
