The building team (5 gears): Designers, Builders, Manufacturers, Consultants, Building Owners/Users. Is anyone more important than the others? CAN they work together? MUST they work together? Steve breaks this down for us by cutting to the chase — how he really feels about consultants (that would be Pete) and, in particular, energy modelers. Long and short of it: You get the best building when all the gears mesh...

Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, Diamond Kote.
