Learn more about the critical impacts of building products, the basics of LCAs & EPDs (including how to read an EPD!), and the simple steps you can take to catalyze the market place.

July 11 -- Energy Efficiency Day, Orlando, Fla.
In partnership with the Florida Home Builders Association, the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) will host an entire day dedicated to energy efficiency on July 11, 2013, at the Orange County Convention Center.

Claudette Hanks Reichel, Ed.D. will be the speaker at this 11 a.m.-noon event, where SPFA will be rolling out another DICE webinar in its series for sprayfoam professionals. The B.S. in the title stands for Building Science... Claudette has a good sense of humor, and so do we. But she also knows her stuff and will offer an exceptionally informative session on the critical interactions of sprayfoam, moisture and HVAC's role. Claudette's information is relevant to every professional in this industry, but especially so in hot, humid climates where sprayfoam must be installed properly, the correct type of sprayfoam should be used and, to avoid serious building science issues, moisture must be properly controlled.
