You'll have to forgive us for being a bit starstruck... but as home inspectors we're construction and building science nerds. And this week we go in studio with a freaking building science LEGEND... IN HIS OWN STUDIO! So, join us as we sit down with the one and only Matt Risinger in The Build Show Podcast Studio for a deep dive into the world of high-performance home building! 💪🏡 From smart moisture management to cutting-edge construction techniques, this conversation is packed with expert insights and real talk about what it really takes to build homes that are healthy, durable, and built to last. We tackle big topics like affordability, future-proofing, and why building science matters more than ever. Whether you're a home inspector, contractor, builder, architect, or just love geeking out on next-level construction, you won't want to miss this one!

The TLDR:
- Water is the number one enemy of the house.
- It's not about keeping water out, but letting water out.
- Healthy homes are built to avoid problems.
- We need mechanical ventilation 24/7.
- Just because something is code compliant doesn't mean it's going to perform well.
- We should be saying, look, there is a minimum standard.
- We can absolutely do that, we just decide not to.
- High performance houses cost too much?
- We need to think about smaller, better-built homes.
- The perfect wall is about keeping the framing dry.
