EP286 Stop Waiting for the World to Change with James Childre (August 2026)

Quotes from the episode:    "The only way that change is going to occur is if I make it happen."    "What makes a high-performance building? It's just good building sense."    "It really is about: how do we get contractors to be confident in the assemblies?"    Eight years ago, James Childre joined Building HVAC Science (Episode 29) with a somewhat resigned view of change in the construction industry: maybe better building practices would have to wait for a new generation of contractors. Today, his perspective is very different. Instead of waiting for the world to change, James is working to create that change himself.     James, founder of RedPoint Montana, spends his days inspecting, testing, and diagnosing buildings. After more than two decades of seeing the same failures recur, he began looking for ways to advance building science knowledge beyond the small group of professionals already committed to high-performance construction.  <p class="Paragraph SCXW1876
