Description

Hello! This is Episode 235, and this is Part 2 of my conversation with James Cornell from Life Panels.
[For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/235]
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, be sure to head back to Episode 234, where you’ll hear James discuss thermal performance and understanding the airtightness and breathability of your home. 
In this episode, James will continue sharing his wealth of knowledge on how to improve your home’s building envelope and create an energy efficient and thermally comfortable home through your selection of building materials for the floors, walls and roof of your home.
We’re talking about thermal mass, and things such as relative humidity, and decrement delay. And if that sounds bamboozling - never fear - James will help us understand it much more simply. 
Frankly, it’s awesome knowledge to have when discussing your home’s construction with your team, so you can ensure you’re getting the best outcome for your location and climate.
James Cornell has been an industry expert on the topic of construction and sustainability for over 20 years. As a licensed builder and master carpenter, and also as a Passive House Certified Consultant, he has become increasingly interested in sustainable construction and the use of materials in creating a better way to build and, ultimately, live. 
He’s also the founder and owner of Life Panels, a business that supplies sustainable wood fibre insulation and building systems for walls, roofs and floors of any residential projects.
