He has been the keynote speaker at numerous conferences and most recently at the 2008 Fourth Annual North Carolina ENERGY STAR® Conference and the 2008 Energy Out West conference MY PHILOSOPHY ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY Doing something right the first time trumps everything when it comes to building homes. The simple materials we have used for the last 100 years, when used correctly, will render very efficient homes. Until we abandon the “silver bullet” new product approach to energy efficiency, we will never affect the masses. Better products do not improve the process of building houses, improving processes improves processes.
