Joseph Lstiburek, Ph.D., discusses why "going Green" has never made more sense. In fact, from now on any home that isn't Green may be obsolete. Air flow is a critical element of any Green Home - and so is tight construction. A leaky house is just another word for poor workmanship.

    You have serious issues dude. I didn't see anything in this video that wasn't true, or warranted 4 ridiculous comments. I am also willing to bet that the one dislike was yours. If you don't like solid construction then don't buy it...

  • My grandparents are comfortable from 62 in the winter to 86 in the summer, they have tiny tiny bills, you are no help to 99.;999% of homeowners out there, you might know homes and how they work, but this dipshit doesn't know a thing about American occupants. I burn fire in the winter, how can I save energy????hmmmm This guy is all about the fame, needs to shut the fuck up.

  • I have a 3200sqft home doc, I have .30 ACH, (PASSIVE FRESH AIR VENTILATION) with no sealants, no foam, NOTHING. Every square inch of my home gets ventilated. It cost me an average of 28$/month to heat and cool my home in a fairly extreme central KS climate. Now tell me, with a 5% mortagage, what can you do for my home that will pay itself back in savings????NOTHING YOU IDIOT. I guess when your selling garbage information to idiots, you don't worry about money. Outside UNFILTERED air is my best.

  • Tell me doc, if every house in this country was super tight, how many mechanical fresh air systems would be working perfect? 1/100? 1/10? Are you looking to kill americans with your idiotic designs? From the smarter customer

    1: not to smell a fart for 2 hours

    2: Fresh air system requiring ZERO maintanence (passive, you idiot)

    3: Cheap homes, you worry about your VOC free materials and pay 10 times price

    4: We like windows

    5: We use more energy powering our toys, than heating and cooling

  • This guy is a HACK. Only Candada masters of the mobile home would give this guy any Phd.
