A House Needs to Breathe...

Or Does It? lays out the basic science of residential buildings. When it comes to how houses perform, professionals and homeowners alike believe many things that just aren't true.

Allison A. Bailes III, PhD, has been called ""a well-known troublemaker and a general pain in the ass"" by his friend Joseph Lstiburek, PhD, PE. He writes the widely read Energy Vanguard Blog, where he has been stirring up trouble since 2010. After earning a doctorate in physics from the University of Florida and doing time in academia, Dr. Bailes found his calling in the field of building science. Since 2001, he has done everything from building a high-performance home to serving as regional manager for the EarthCraft House green building program to spending countless hours in crawl spaces and attics, analyzing and fixing homes. His company, Energy Vanguard, does consulting, training, and HVAC design for residential buildings.
