Building science made approachable

Building science can be complex, but its impact is felt every day in the homes people live in: comfort, air quality, durability, and energy use all depend on it.

The goal of the E3 podcast is to make these conversations accessible. Guests share real experiences, lessons from projects, and insights that help both professionals and homeowners understand how better buildings happen.
