FHB Summit: The Future of Home Building in 2039

The 2019 Fine Homebuilding Summit began with a keynote presentation from a legend in the building science community who has spent more than 30 years in the industry, Peter Yost. Drawing from his work with NAHB, USGBC, the Department of Energy, the EPA, Building Green, Green Building Advisor, and several universities, Peter shares his predictions for what the world of building will look like 20 years from now, and how to prepare for it.

Did not expect to be thinking about the Drake Equation and extraterrestrials when learning building sci on YouTube. Fun lecture!
