20-City Proof is Possible Tour Coming to a City Near You!
posted at 2016-03-31
Do you want proof that your home could perform more efficiently and comfortably for your family? A tour with all the proof you'll need is coming to a city near you!
In the fall of 2015, Grace and Corbett Lunsford presented the idea of doing a not-for-profit Proof is Possible U.S. Tour to showcase measured home performance through a series of open house tours and workshops in 20 cities across the nation. The couple (and their new, one-month old baby) will travel the nation in an energy efficient tiny house, affectionately known as the Tiny Lab, to demonstrate how homes work as a system and how improvements to a home's performance can increase homeowner comfort, health and safety and cut wasteful spending on energy costs.
As a background, Corbett Lunsford established the Building Performance Workshop in 2009 with the goal of packaging up building performance so it can easily be understood and used by both professionals and consumers alike to create better buildings. Corbett has performed hundreds of home energy audits, hosted over 100 YouTube videos and 60 interviews and wrote the book Home Performance Diagnostics: the Guide to Advanced Testing. By his side is his wife, Grace Lunsford, who founded the Sterling Rock Productions media firm. Grace has served on the Boards of Directors for the Screen Actors Guild Midwest as well as the Illinois Production Alliance.
Together, Grace and Corbett aim to revolutionize the home performance market on their 20-city tour by filming episodes of the Home Diagnosis TV show, giving educational tours of their highly efficient Tiny Lab to teach about building science and also providing homeowners with an in-depth crash course on home performance and how you can solve mysterious problems in your own home.
