Episode: Building Performance QA with Sam Myers
Description: Sam Myers of Retrotec joins Bryan and Kaleb on the podcast to discuss building performance. He also answers some of our listeners' questions. Checking airflow is important for building science as well as HVAC. However, "airflow" is vague and can refer to static pressure readings (which isn't actually "airflow" at all), air from whole-home ventilation systems, or CFM per ton.
