Education is an important part of what we do. There are many conferences and training sessions throughout the country on building science and green building some of which we will be participating in.  There is a vast amount of information about how to get building energy efficiency right and the more you are able to learn the more you are able to teach and implement in your daily life.  "When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
