Every builder knows the building code. Few talk about what happens when you build above it. Gord Cooke of Construction Instruction joins Episode 02 of Building Performance, Unlocked: "Code Is the Floor, Not the Ceiling". This episode gets into the real gap between what code requires and what building science actually supports: why “three air changes per hour” is a floor and not a finish line, why walls needing to “breathe” isn’t quite accurate, and how balancing the systems of a home while controlling the envelope delivers better comfort, air quality, and resilience, from wildfire smoke to power outages.

Building codes set the minimum standard. The real opportunity is what happens when we build beyond them. Excited to share Episode 02 of Building Performance, Unlocked, featuring Gord Cooke of Construction Instruction. We dive into the gap between code requirements and building science best practices—and why air sealing, balanced systems, and envelope performance have an outsized impact on comfort, health, resilience, and energy efficiency. One of my favorite takeaways: Code may be the floor, but it should never be the ceiling. 🎧 Give it a listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://lnkd.in/ez9Sip9Y 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/er3vVnRc 🎙️ Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/eXzPi8rw #BuildingPerformance #BuildingScience #HomeBuilding #EnergyEfficiency #BuildingPerformanceUnlocked #Aeroseal

Check out Ci's Gord Cooke on Aeroseal's "Building Performance, Unlocked" podcast where they discuss the gaps between code requirements and what building science tells us.

What are we really designing for? In our latest episode of The Smart Community Podcast, Felicity Furey invites us to look beyond technical outcomes and consider the human experience of engineering. How will people feel when they use the spaces, systems and infrastructure we create? Will the design reduce stress or add to it? Will it leave people and places better than we found them? It is a thoughtful conversation about designing with care, building with purpose and putting people at the centre of engineering decisions. 💚 Listen to wherever you get your podcasts! What questions do you think we are missing? 🧐

A Shadow Board Isn't About Tool Storage It's about communication. Steve Riley explains that visual organization isn't simply keeping a workspace tidy—it's making information instantly visible. A shadow board tells you where tools belong, but more importantly, it tells you when something isn't right. A missing tool becomes an immediate signal that the process has changed or needs attention. That's the real power of visual management: making abnormal conditions obvious so they can be addressed quickly. ▶️ Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/gkXYX5zx 🎧 Listen to the full podcast: https://lnkd.in/gzCSP4V8 This clip is from the Being an Engineer podcast. #beinganengineer #engineeringpodcast #LeanManufacturing #VisualManagement #ContinuousImprovement

The Industrial Wi-Fi Shop podcast episode 27 has gone live! Jeremy, Trae Rushing and Scott explore the "invisible design" decisions that separate projects that remain easy to manage for years from those that become frustrating mysteries. From documentation standards and network diagrams to naming conventions, photos, and everyday engineering habits, they share practical lessons learned from real-world industrial deployments that can save countless hours, reduce downtime, and make every wireless project more maintainable long after the installation is complete. Check Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or your favorite podcast platform. Link to the IWS mothership in the comments! #engineeringsocially #industrialwireless #otnetworking

Name another podcast where you could find the Building Safety Act, robo dogs, and Taylor Swift in the same episode? This week’s Construction Disrupted sees Peter Sumpton and I pull stories from across the sector for what must surely be our most diverse episode yet. There’s a few familiar themes (AI, anyone?), but I think the breadth of topics give a flavour for just how diverse the sector is. I managed to get on my high horse about building safety and the (lack of) action in certain quarters, but overall I think this was one of the more fun episodes that we’ve recorded. The perfect accompaniment to this sunny day, and the chance to listen to something work-related before you inevitably stick Three Lions on repeat...

Early in my career, I gave a client a technically correct answer. It still wasn't the answer they needed. Most conversations carry two layers: what's being said, and what's actually driving it. Answer only the words, and you can miss the real concern sitting underneath the question. That's the idea behind Episode 2 of The Architecture of the In-Between: learning to hear what isn't being said, and why that skill matters whether you're leading a project, serving a client, or navigating a decision of your own. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 🔗 Link in the comments. #ChangeYourLens #NewPerspective #DecisionMaking #ArchitectureOfTheInbetween

When an owner says, “Make it more secure,” what does that actually mean? In this episode of Buildable{ish}, Brian welcomes physical security consultant Herb Ubbens to explore the difference between real security and what security professionals call security theater—design features that create the illusion of safety without actually reducing risk.

Had a great convo with James E. Turner - product availability, how do we scale, and more - check it out and let me know your thoughts -
Lordy, lordy, look who's joined me on Episode 40 of Marketing Passivhaus: It's Michael Ingui, of Ingui Architecture, Passive House Accelerator, and Source 2050! We talk about the next big hurdle that Passive House needs to get over (hint: it's marketing :), the critical importance of product availability if you don't want your contractor to use something other than what you specified, and the 3 things that will either let us scale Passive House the way we truly need to, or not. (And much more, obviously.) Listen to the full episode, check out the show notes and links, and access the transcript here: https://lnkd.in/g5vXRQCu Also available wherever you get your podcasts... except on YouTube, so far.
