The Hidden Building Science to Add Healthy Years to Your Life

from The Intelligent Builder · host Owen Gagne

Ric Wendlandt, Operations Director at Dan Webb Builders and founder of Stomata, breaks down what it really means to build a healthy, high-performance custom home. We cover his path from field chemist to running multi-million dollar residential projects in North Lake Tahoe, his "home as host" philosophy, and the invisible details that matter most, tight envelopes, air quality, off-gassing, and biophilic design. Ric shares his vision for measuring how many healthy years a home can add to your life and how he's building systems so his companies can run without him.
