SEON – the sustainable energy outreach network’s most recent newsletter: Building Science: Volume 1, Issue 3
SEON (Sustainable Energy Outreach Network) is excited to announce the addition of Jason Van Nest to our Board. Jason Van Nest is an architect, a professor and architectural instructor at NY Institute of Technology, and a technology consultant.
We are pushing against the tide in our building industry. For example, “Why should I be certified or spend money to take additional courses?” is a statement by far too many builders. They’ve lost the essence of what it means to be part of a tradition of this “noble profession” that in other countries value the contributions and ongoing learning within the trades. These overseas training traditions live by the root word of profession – “profess” – the expression of a code, a code of ethics that embodies lifelong learning, mastery, and mentorship.
As a high-performance builder, you know that creating buildings that are energy-efficient, sustainable, and comfortable for occupants is key to staying at the forefront of the house building industry. But have you ever stopped to think about the surprising connection between your work and a fashion trend from the past?
