Home Diagnosis TV - Bringing Building Science To The Mainstream

Greetings building science enthusiasts! 

We're excited to share and help promote a brand new show that will air on PBS in 2019 called Home Diagnosis TV. Our friend and colleague, Corbett Lunsford, and his wife Grace have been working tirelessly the last few years to make this project a reality and we are so proud of the result. You may have seen Corbett & Grace before on their Proof Is Possible U.S. tour. You'll be seeing a lot more from us about this show as it launches. 

Here's the description from the Home Diagnosis TV website:

Home Performance Experts Grace and Corbett Lunsford created this 6-episode 30-minute series coming to your television in 2019! Shot in cities across the U.S. as part of the Proof Is Possible Tour, the show follows Corbett and Grace as they solve mystery problems of all types in homes new and old. Presented by Georgia Public Broadcasting with post-production by ECG Productions.

Check out the sizzle reel and feel free to share this with folks you think would like a show like this. Education and advocacy is incredibly important to making a "new normal" in our industry. When homeowners demand better performance, architects, builders, installers, and real estate agents will change their value systems to provide the kind of homes that benefit us all. 

Home Diagnosis is a 30-minute series coming to your television in 2016! Shot in 16 cities across the U.S. as part of the Proof Is Possible Tour, the show follows Corbett and Grace as they solve mystery problems of all types in homes new and old.

We've also got a great episode of The Building Science Podcast coming up in a few weeks with an awesome interview between Kristof and Corbett on the HOMEChem experiments that were being conducted alongside the filming of this new show, so be on the lookout for that. Of course, we're really excited about the potential of Indoor Air Quality education coming to the masses. It's the future fulcrum point of housing and health care. 

A brief description of HOMEChem:

The HOMEChem experiment (House Observations of Microbial and Environmental Chemistry) will take place in the month of June 2018, incorporating measurements from over 15 research groups from 9 universities to identify the most important aspects of the chemistry that controls the indoor environment. The HOMEChem field study is expected to kick-start and energize the Chemistry of Indoor Environments community of scientists, while also answering interesting preliminary science questions on the chemistry of indoor environments in a real-world experimental setting. This brings an excellent opportunity for outreach to the broader scientific community and other stakeholders, such as other funding agencies, the local and national media, and the public.
Meet some of the heroes of HOMEChem (House Observations of Microbial and Environmental Chemistry) and the University of Texas-Austin's Test House! Subscribe and stay tuned for more about this first-ever groundbreaking experiment that will change how all of us see our homes.

And of course, a big shout out to the sponsors for Home Diagnosis TV - this wouldn't be possible without your generous support for industry change. 

Until next time!
