They are about the outcomes for the people inside.\u201d &amp;nbsp; \u201cThe gap is not in technology. It is in execution and understanding.\u201d &amp;nbsp; \u201cThe contractors who win are the ones who connect building science to real human experience.\u201d &amp;nbsp; Recorded live at the 2026 National Home Performance Conference in Columbus, this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast brings together Bill Spohn, Eric Kaiser, and guest Brynn Cooksey for a conversation at the intersection of buildings, HVAC systems, and the people who live in them.  This is PART 1, PART 2 will drop next week! &amp;nbsp; The discussion opens with a reminder that high-performance homes are not just about equipment or design. They are about outcomes for occupants. Comfort, health, and real-world performance depend on how well systems are installed, commissioned, and understood. The group explores how contractors and practitioners can move beyond simply delivering equipment to truly delivering results. &amp;nbsp; From the conference floor, the conversation highlights a broader industry shift toward accountability, better data, and a more holistic approach to home performance. The takeaway is clear: the future belongs to professionals who can connect building science, HVAC expertise, and occupant experience into one cohesive offering. &amp;nbsp; This is a special one with interaction from the participants in the room who asked questions and shared experiences. &amp;nbsp; Brynn\u2019s LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/theairdoctor\/ HVAC-U website: https:\/\/www.hvactrain.com\/ Amply Energy: https:\/\/www.amply.energy\/Conuit Tech: https:\/\/getconduit.com\/ Kwik Model: https:\/\/kwikmodel.com\/ CoolCalc: https:\/\/www.coolcalc.com\/ Grit Foundation: https:\/\/www.thegritfoundation.com\/ The Socratic Method: https:\/\/tilt.colostate.edu\/the-socratic-method\/ CEDA Internships: https:\/\/www.weareceda.org\/en\/internships    This episode was recorded in April 2026.
