Jake began R-Value Homes in 2004, after 10 years at a Michigan based commercial concrete contractor, starting as a laborer, and quickly moving into the position of a poured wall foreman. Building science has been teaching us for years how to do better, but have we been listening? “I now read a whole lot more than just industry updates; now building science and HVAC design have been added to my knowledge base; and I continue to learn. I now know that many builders and architects don’t understand these things as well as they think they do; and cannot be expected to design, specify, and build homes that eliminate thermal bridging, condensation in the walls, and have healthy indoor air.”<a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtOuBSUfZX7qjjTF-19k57qfQPY6CYAGU" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">You can tour another of Jake's GreenStar Zero Energy Capable certified homes here anytime!</a>
