Gary Klein: move wet rooms in an average-size house so they are close together. Save energy, water, materials, AND a week’s worth of plumbing labor. #bscamp

@debralittle @PHIUS1 It was an overview of the PHIUS+2018 standard along with a summary of energy performance of some built projects. Average modeled EUI of projects presented was 16.1, average measured was 17.2.

Lisa White and James Ortega from @PHIUS1 presenting on the PHIUS family of standards at #bscamp.

This pretty much sums up the level of detail required to do good building science. #bscamp

Yesterday @kwhgeek of @BldgScienceATX said building science needs social science. Now Gord Cooke's telling the #bscamp crowd that the @AeroBarrier installer must be able to up a blower door, fix a compressor, and run a computer. Not a dealbreaker, but a new alignment of skills.

All three of University of Arizona's 2019 Solar Decathlon Design Challenge finalist teams used @Aerobarrier. Looking forward to learning more about it from Gord Cooke. #bscamp

@BSD_RBoyer Yup, and that builds trust. Trust benefits everyone in the long run.

[Sustainable Market Transformation @transformarkets]

@BSD_RBoyer Right on! Too many marketers have been trained only to segment existing markets -- not to build new ones. Good marketing builds culture, skills, and helps people imagine a different and better future. That's not too much to expect from the building industry.

@MartinHolladay on why we need people in the building industry who speak marketing, and the other way around. https://t.co/5N8fkJXDTP #thingsnottodo #bscamp

Insight after @MartinHolliday's spirited presentation: "there's an amazing disconnect between the technical people and the marketing people" in companies in the building industry. Arizona's MS Arch. in Sustainable Market Transformation bridges this gap. https://t.co/5N8fkJXDTP

That was @kwhgeek. And this hybrid social scientist/building scientist thinks he's right on.

"We're at a point where #BuildingScience needs to meet social science. We need to culturally accept better building." — a comment from a #bscamp attendee after a presentation on commercial #construction #energyefficiency.

David Baylon @DesignForOff: achieving 70% energy reduction will require outcome-based codes, not today's prescriptive code. (For more on codes, see Steven Moore and Barbara Wilson's book Questioning Architectural Judgment: The Problem of Codes in the US https://t.co/BKT91S6WMi)

[Sustainable Market Transformation @transformarkets]

David Baylon @DesignForOff on categorization problems: now you can't separate grocery and retail, but energy statistics try to do just that. So is energy use in grocery stores declining? Nobody knows. Echoes Bowker and Star's Sorting Things Out. https://t.co/YwMkf3eRCl #bscamp

@NeilRandol Looking forward to this one!

[Sustainable Market Transformation @transformarkets]

Building science summer camp has begun. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. #bscamp

[Sustainable Market Transformation @transformarkets]

@growacity what a great talk this morning! Thanks for moving us all closer to an equitable low carbon future.

[Glumac Engineers @GlumacEngineers]

Big takeaway from @billmckibben keynote address at #LF19: Green building advocates to address climate change to the scale of the problem.

“As designers, we are ambassadors for public health. We are essentially public health workers.” @RachelBeeGee at #LF19
