How Many CFM Does My Home Need? Ventilation Advice from HVAC Researcher Jeff Siegel

Spoiler alert: Corbett's wearing a retainer. Yes. You don't have to comment about it. Video forthcoming, as a matter of fact. Jeff Siegel is a superstar of HVAC research, and you can learn more from him in his original interview with me and at his research site. We're in the University of Toronto's rooftop climate chamber, shooting the bull about how many air cleanings per hour (aka air changes per hour, which is confusing to blower door folk) we should aim for in our living spaces.

Home Disasters & Resilience: SciPub Q&A on 'Home Diagnosis' Season 3

Join Grace and Corbett Lunsford, creators of 'Home Diagnosis' on PBS, at a SciPub live audience discussion led by Nancy Scales-Coddington about disasters and resilience in homes at Cornell University. Season 3 of the series is called 'Accidents Happen', and explores disasters both natural and human-made (like adding ozone generators, skipping air sealing, putting plastic vapor barriers in the wrong places), and dives into the science behind them in physics, chemistry, and microbiology.

How to Choose the RIGHT Windows for Your Home with Energy Modeling

FROM ‘HOME DIAGNOSIS’ SEASON 2 EP5: To avoid the extreme sales and marketing tactics we all see every day, we need science and measurement. Here's a quick tour through the evolution of homes (how homes work and why), the basics of energy modeling to compare how different home improvements will perform in the long run, and how the windows should install and function.

Every place is different, every home is different, every family is different- one size never fits all. To watch this entire episode about the science of doors and windows: https://homediagnosis.tv/episode-205-this-little-light-of-mine

When HGTV Starts Copying 'Home Diagnosis'...

Children Building Homes for No Pay on National Television: Science of Homes for Cable Networks

We shot a pilot episode for the Shark Week version of our show on PBS, and we think this could win awards. Not for science though. For slapstick. Are there awards for that?

Our children ‘design’ and ‘build’ a ‘high performance home’ that we then ‘test’ with ‘scientific diagnostics’ so that we can ‘educate the public’. Including ‘HVAC diagnostics’, ‘comfort analysis’, ‘pressure balancing’, infrared thermal photography, and a ‘blower door test’ that does not bode well.

Basic Building Science for Homes: Testing is the Cornerstone (from Home Diagnosis)

In our practice of diagnostics, inspections, computer modeling, load calculations, and verifying that healthy home targets have been achieved, we use a very simple approach, and here it is. From season 2 of Home Diagnosis: https://HomeDiagnosis.tv

How Hard is our ERV Working? Testing the Chemical Exhaust, Dust Samples, Rugs, and Formaldehyde

Corbett is testing his family's new high performance home for chemicals- in the dust of the floor, in potential allergens in the (very nice) used rugs they're getting, and even in the exhaust of their energy recovery ventilator (ERV). Thanks to Prism Analytical (http://pati-air.com) for being ready to give us the full rundown of what the results mean next month- don't forget that ANYONE can do these tests in any scenario- it's not rocket science.

Preview Screening: 'Home Diagnosis' TV Series Season 2 (National Home Performance Conference 2021)

Watch excerpts and Q&A with Grace and Corbett Lunsford, creators of the first-ever television series about the science of homes (or building science, or high performance, or diagnostic analysis, whatever you may like to call it).

For participants at the National Home Performance Conference in April 2021, 35 minutes of scenes from the upcoming 13-epidode season were aired and explained in the greater context of this very exciting milestone for the high performance building industry.
