I'm trying to read everything I can that comes from Joseph Lstiburek, PhD, PEng. If you haven't heard of him, you're probably not putting your buildings together right. If you have heard of him, you probably still aren't doing it right. Joseph's making the case far and wide that Building Science is an unknown and undeveloped discipline. Schools don't teach it, practitioners barely register it. We're in an age with incredibly high-tech materials and systems and the sophisticated modeling software to understand how our buildings are actually performing, but we might as well be draped in a tarp. We do not understand how our buildings work. Listen to Joe. There's a lot to learn.
Follow the link for an interview with Dr Lstiburek, and then start to track down his own writings.
