These issues are some of the most challenging aspects of consistently achieving high performance homes. Learn what to look for in air sealing, duct sealing, and insulation work that is performed correctly.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Find out how to clearly communicate what is expected on the job
2. Explore ways to achieve more effective working relationships and better performance from subs
3. Examine the cost of incorporating quality assurance and the higher cost of not doing it
