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, how air leaks through gaps that no code requires anyone to seal.
This book is about fixing that.
Brian Iverson has spent more than five decades in construction — as a carpenter, designer, energy auditor, and inventor. He has seen what code-minimum buildings become over time. And he wrote this book so that you don’t have to learn what he learned the hard way.
What you’ll walk away with:
∙ A clear understanding of the four control layers that govern every building envelope
∙ The ability to identify where buildings fail — and why
∙ Practical, economically sound strategies for new construction and retrofits
∙ The confidence to build beyond code minimum, in any climate
Whether you’re a builder who listens between job sites, 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.
Narrated by a professional voice actor and paired with the complete ebook for reference at home or in the field. Two formats. One education.
Net Zero isn’t a luxury. It’s what happens when you get the envelope right.
Includes both the full audiobook and complete ebook.
