Delighted to be working with @bpublicprefab.com to make beautiful, #SmokeTight, fire resilient homes easy to build in California.
This one is my nod to Gregory Ain - and LA architect whose work and life I have much admired. (More designs coming soon.)
I've been nagging the CEC to improve #SmokeTight buildings & require #blowerdoortesting for quite some time... Will the #LAfires finally make it happen?
Here's my summary of proposals being considered for 2028, plus a bill to help rebuild better buildings: passivehousenetwork.org/featured/are...
And if you want to learn how to design #Smoketight buildings that will also keep you safe, here’s the best training in California to do so: passivehousecal.org/training/
DYK that California’s building & energy code does NOT require blower door testing for new homes? The need for #Smoketight buildings in California is real, and more urgent than ever ( and is why I advocate so actively for #Passivhaus alternate compliance pathways.)
