"That is pretty awesome! Thanks for the pics and video very interesting."
Silvie Votrubova replied to Graeme Nix's discussion Training Materials and Resources in the group Trainers and Mentors"Hi Matt,
The info on WAPTAC is a good start but perhaps incomplete for many trainers. We surveyed our database of trainers and asked them what, if anything, is missing from the free training material out there. The top 3 things…"
Graeme Nix commented on Jennifer Luitwieler's group ACI NATIONAL ATTENDEES"True, no point streaming hands-on training time. But if you do manage to get any live output, a simple Twitter hashtag would be enough to pose some questions, if someone in the room is able to monitor it."

However, I would suggest in your example that the number of fans can still be reduced to a…"
Graeme Nix replied to Norm Bourassa's discussion Low-rise Residential - Favored retrofit strategies & stories in the group Multifamily Buildings"Two fans is all you really need, even if you want specific numbers. But you will have to move one around quite a bit, especially when you start talking about multi-level buildings.
For a townhouse, you equalize adjacent units to the outdoors. To…"
Graeme Nix replied to Evan Mills's discussion What kind of experience have folks had using blower doors in multifamily buildings?"Blower door testing multifamily buildings is just as useful as testing single family homes. The energy savings is usually correspondingly less, since there's typically less exterior exposure. The big difference, of course, is in learning how to…"
