Dan Curl speaking at ASHI National Conference
Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Happy Eco-Enviro-Green day to everyone,

The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) national conference has chosen me to be one of their presenters at their Inspection World conference in Orlando.

My presentation kicks off their “Green Energy Technology Track” and is aptly titled “Eco-Inspector:  Understanding the Basics of Building Science”.

I choose the trope Eco, a meaningless, overused cliché, for a reason.  Enviro, Eco, Green and the like describe everything and nothing.  What is important to understand here is that underlying these marketing adjectives there is a scientific, practical and common sense foundation. 

My seminar will discuss how this layman has come to understand how the easiest and cheapest way the average homeowner can help move our country away from energy dependency is an understanding of building science.

In a larger sense I want to do my small part to help save common sense and science from the marketing and political Bullshit our culture wishes to impose upon it

Now if I can just get the conference sponsors to rename
 “Green Energy Technology Track”
