Unbuild It | Episode 153: Wall Details with Nick Sabol, Huber Product Engineer
Episode 153
UBIP loves tech folks like Nick Sabol of the Huber Product Engineering team. Pete, Jake, and Nick dive into exterior wall details to manage water and air. Big focus on bottom-of-wall-to-foundation details and rainscreen details at windows. Pretty cool to learn about RAINA as well (see Resources). And for better or worse--no Dad joke!

Episode 152
Whoa--the boys go super technical and wonky on structural loading of rigid insulation, thermal bridging with concrete and wood, and innovative framing systems, EcoSmart and Tolko. This leads to an interesting discussion of how often in residential buildings we unknowingly way over-engineer. Steve closes out with a design issue for certain beehives...
Unbuild It | Episode 151: Where Matters: Climate (I)
Episode 151
Pete kicks off a three-part series on how Climate, Site, and Extreme Events influence building design. This episode focuses on climate and why building strategies must change depending on location—just like packing differently for Minneapolis, Honolulu, or New Orleans. Drawing on research from the Building America Solution Center and Joe Lstiburek’s “Perfect Wall,” the discussion highlights the importance of climate-driven building science.

Episode 149
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... PETE'S RESOURCES:
