    Accessible yet highly interesting
    As a professional in this field, I find this podcast to somehow very elegantly skirt the line between providing both accessibility and depth. It tends to be pretty single-family oriented, so sometimes I wish it ventured into multi family building more often, but I won’t dock any points for this given that this isn’t necessarily the podcast’s aim. Great resource to keep you relevant!
  • SonRise HVAC
    Grateful for guys like Bill and resources like this!
    If you want the “mysteries” unfolded, check this podcast out. I’ll keep tuning in to get the best practices from this legend!

    A Bunch of GREAT BS!
    Bill Spohn is one of the truly good guys in the HVAC and building performance industry and this podcast brings the BS from BS himself! Building science, measurement, building diagnosis as well as building and mechanical design training are sorely needed in our industry and this is just what the metaphorical doctor ordered. Great job Bill!
