The Intersection of Building Science and Data Science

In this week’s podcast, Matt is joined by Craig Stevenson, President & Co-Founder of Auros Group, to talk about the intersection of building science and data science for the purpose of decarbonizing buildings. Auros mainly focuses on MUSH (Municipal, University, School, Hospital) commercial buildings, but he shares incredible insights on how the decarbonization of commercial buildings can translate to residential building.  They discuss the benefits of a building a Passive House and focusing on decarbonization to their clients, including lower utility bills, health, and comfort. Craig shares, “you can have a great home that still uses very, very little energy…without paying a premium.”Matt and Craig agree that before any project, builders should ask themselves “what’s the most efficient building I can build?”Listen to how we can measure building performance and why carbon is the only metric we can’t “game.”ResourcesThe Power of Existing Buildings by Robert Sroufe, Craig Stevenson, and Beth Eckenrode: https://islandpress.org/books/power-existing-buildingsFind Auros Group on the WebYouTube: @aurosgroup7289Blog: https://www.aurosgroup.com/blogWebsite:  https://www.aurosgroup.com/Find Matt and The Build Show on the web:Build Show Videos: https://buildshownetwork.com/go/mattrisingerInstagram: @risingerbuild and @thebuildshowTikTok: @thebuildshowYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@buildshowWebsite: https://risingerbuild.com/ and https://buildshownetwork.com/ Watch full episodes of Matt on Facebook, Instagram and Build Show Network. https://www.facebook.com/buildshownetworkhttps://www.instagram.com/risingerbuild/https://buildshownetwork.com/go/mattrisinger Don't miss a single episode of Build Show content.
