Dr. Joseph Lstiburek

Spent Thursday afternoon listening to Dr. Joe talk about "Building Envelope – How tight is too tight" & "Ventilating a Tight Home",

Great stuff. Certainly has an interesting presentation style.

I liked his take on the difference between physicists and engineers.

I've read a bunch of his stuff and some of what y'all had to say about his thoughts on building science.

Glad I took the time!

I agree. I attended one of Dr. Joes' classes at a CE seminar several years ago.

A great communicator that makes a complex subject seem simple.

I would encourage anyone that gets a chance to hear him to make the time.

Yea I sat in one one of his seminars at some conference somewhere a year or so ago. He makes sense. It's like Dennis Miller talking about the building envelope.

I kind of like take of Advanced Energy on closed and conditioned crawlspaces better than Dr Joe's. A little different take on it, but more logical for the South and other climates. They have a ton of good information on their site along with several videos. A guy named Bruce Davis was involved in their research for years, he is a professor at Appalachian State University.

As for Dr Joe's unique teaching techniques, he kind of reminds me of a sailor with a PhD teaching trying to teach a class. IMHO, it would be 10X's better if he cleaned up his language.
