EP286 Stop Waiting for the World to Change with James Childre (August 2026)
Q: When did you get the idea to start the Cold Climate Conference, and what sparked it?
The idea grew from early frustration with slow change, seeing that simply informing people wasn't enough, and realizing there was a regional need for education tailored to climate zones 5 through 8. The conference was created to teach, connect professionals, and fund local student programs.

EP279 Curiosity, Heat Pumps, and the Details That Matter – A Conversation with Edward Louie (July 2026)
Q: If you had a choice to buy equipment today, what would you install in your own home?
An inverter-driven heat pump with good modulation and right-sizing, focusing on modulation performance over extreme cold-start specs; data from the NEEP database informs the thinking but overrated minimum modulation can be avoided by proper sizing.
