Matt takes The Build Show on the road to visit a consulting project outside of Dallas with builder and building science expert Richie. While the home is being built by another contractor, the team walks the site to offer guidance and highlight important construction details that can improve the home's performance, durability, and comfort. As they tour the project, Matt and Richie discuss common issues seen in residential construction - such as air barrier continuity, proper flashing details, insulation strategies, duct placement, and moisture control. They also dive into solutions like closed-cell spray foam, ventilation strategies, dehumidification, and fresh air systems to create a healthier, tighter, and more energy-efficient home. Along the way, Richie shares insights from his journey into building science and his passion for building better homes in the Dallas area.
