Men måske er det en mulighed, Jesper," sagde hun opmuntrende.En: "This is a bit off, isn't it? But maybe it's an opportunity, Jesper," she said encouragingly.Da: Jesper trak vejret dybt.En: Jesper took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg må finde på noget," tænkte han højt.En: "I need to come up with something," he thought aloud.Da: Men det var vinter.En: But it was winter.Da: Og koldt.En: And cold.Da: Sandet var stift.En: The sand was stiff.Da: Lars, en erfaren sandborg-by mester, bemærkede den forvirrede Jesper og gik hen til ham.En: Lars, an experienced sandcastle master, noticed the confused Jesper and approached him.Da: "Jeg ser, du har brug for hjælp," sagde Lars venligt.En: "I see you need help," said Lars kindly.Da: Jesper forklarede sin fejl, og Lars lo hjerteligt.En: Jesper explained his mistake, and Lars laughed heartily.Da: "Lad os se, hvad vi kan gøre sammen," foreslog Lars.En: "Let's see what we can do together," suggested Lars.Da: Bevæbnet med simple spader og en spand, gik Jesper og Maja i gang.En: Armed with simple shovels and a bucket, Jesper and Maja got started.Da: Jesper manglede erfaring med sand, men hans kunstneriske sans kom til live.En: Jesper lacked experience with sand, but his artistic sense came alive.Da: "Hvordan får man sand til at stå," spurgte han.En: "How do you get sand to stand?" he asked.Da: Lars svarede: "Fugt er nøglen, men pas på, det fryser let."En: Lars replied, "Moisture is the key, but be careful, it freezes easily."Da: Timerne gik, og Jesper byggede ivrigt.En: Hours passed, and Jesper built eagerly.Da: Til tider lignede hans borg mere en bunke sne end et mesterværk.En: At times, his castle looked more like a pile of snow than a masterpiece.Da: Maja heppede fra sidelinjen, og Lars gav små tips.En: Maja cheered from the sidelines, and Lars offered small tips.Da: Men som solen begyndte at gå ned, skete katastrofen.En: But as the sun began to set, disaster struck.Da: Koldvinden blæste, og Jespers struktur kollapsede.En: The cold wind blew, and Jesper's structure collapsed.Da: Sandet var blevet til is og bøjet forkert.En: The sand had turned to ice and bent incorrectly.Da: Skuffelsen var stor.En: The disappointment was great.Da: "Hvad nu?" spurgte Maja forsigtigt.En: "What now?" Maja asked cautiously.Da: Men Jesper så på ruinen og fik en idé.En: But Jesper looked at the ruin and got an idea.Da: Med kreativitet og desperation formede han de faldne sandstykker til skulpturer.En: With creativity and desperation, he shaped the fallen sand pieces into sculptures.Da: Det blev til en abstrakt, men smuk formation, der sprang frem i det grånende lys.En: It became an abstract but beautiful formation that emerged in the gray light.Da: Da konkurrencen sluttede, havde juryen noteret Jespers anstrengelser.En: When the competition ended, the jury noted Jesper's efforts.Da: Lars, med respekt, nikkede til Jesper.En: Lars, with respect, nodded to Jesper.Da: "Du har fundet skønhed i kaos," sagde han.En: "You've found beauty in chaos," he said.Da: Jesper smilte stolt.En: Jesper smiled proudly.Da: Han havde lært, at kreativitet kunne blomstre, selv når alt gik galt.En: He had learned that creativity could bloom even when everything went wrong.Da: Dagen endte med en varm følelse, trods vinterkulden.En: The day ended with a warm feeling, despite the winter cold.Da: Jesper vandt ingen præmie, men han vandt respekt og en værdifuld lektion.En: Jesper didn't win a prize, but he won respect and a valuable lesson.Da: Opportunisme og fleksibilitet var lige så vigtige som kunstnerisk talent, havde han lært.En: Opportunism and flexibility were just as important as artistic talent, he had learned.Da: Da sneen begyndte at falde igen, sluttede Jesper armene om Maja i en taknemmelig kram.En: As the snow began to fall again, Jesper wrapped his arms around Maja in a grateful hug.Da: "Det var en god dag," sagde han.En: "It was a good day," he said.Da: Nyhavn-skulpturerne bag dem stod som minder om en uventet oplevelse.En: The Nyhavn sculptures behind them stood as reminders of an unexpected experience.Da: Jesper gik tilbage over brostenene med et nyt syn på det at være kunstner.En: Jesper walked back over the cobblestones with a new perspective on being an artist.

Building HVAC Science - Building Performance, Science, Health & Comfort
QUOTES from the episode: "Most building failures aren't mysterious. They're just ignored fundamentals." "If you demand museum-level humidity, you're no longer building a house. You're building a museum." "Moisture meters don't solve problems. They show you patterns. The thinking solves the problem." In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, Eric Kaiser is joined by Kohta Ueno, principal and co-owner of Building Science Corporation, for a wide-ranging discussion on building failures, moisture, HVAC, and the practical realities of diagnosing real-world problems. Kohta shares his unconventional path into building science, from small remodeling jobs and a PBS NOVA episode to decades of forensic investigations alongside Joe Lstiburek, one of the field's most influential voices. The conversation quickly moves from origin stories into what really matters: how buildings fail, why those failures are often predictable, and how much cheaper it is to solve problems on paper than after construction. A major theme is moisture management, especially in high-performance and multifamily buildings. Kohta explains how seemingly small details, like window sill slope, back dams, airflow settings, and interior air seals, routinely separate durable buildings from expensive failures. He also highlights a growing perfect storm in modern construction: oversized HVAC equipment, high ventilation rates, poor commissioning, and limited dehumidification, particularly in smaller units. The result is mold, humidity complaints, and systems that technically run but fail to control moisture. The episode closes with a practical look at diagnostic tools and methods. Kohta emphasizes pattern recognition over single-point measurements, combining moisture meters, thermal imaging, pressure diagnostics, and blower door testing to understand how air, heat, and moisture actually move through buildings. He encourages listeners to use freely available Building Science Corporation research and Joe Lstiburek's Building Science Insights as foundational resources, reminding the audience that most building failures are not mysterious. They are repeatable, understandable, and avoidable if the fundamentals are respected.

But health experts isn't necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when a home buyer goes to book a home inspection prior to buying a home. However, what if they could be? Home inspectors see more homes inside and out than almost any profession in the real estate industry second only to realtors. What if we were trained to not only identify structural and major system issues, but also potential environmental health issues? As building science begins to dominate discussions around real estate and residential construction, the way we think about health intersects directly as we continue to learn to view a home as one major system. Air leaks, poor or improper ventilation, and moisture intrusion can all factor into mold growth. Proper site location can affect a home owner's health long before the home even exists. Illness is often the final symptom of factors that have existed long before the human body even knows there's an issue. We already test for radon... so what if we learned to look out for common sense issues that could allow us to not just advocate for home buyers... but also for their long-term health? Cristina Greenfield, of Conscious Healthy Home, has some ideas as to how we can do just that.

Can ERVs actually dehumidify a home? And does it ever make sense to use a dehumidifier in a vented crawlspace? Two listener questions spark a lively—and slightly ruthless—discussion that leads to one of Steve's classic lines: “Suck it up, buttercup!”The crew digs into how moisture really behaves in dry climates, what ERVs can and cannot do when it comes to latent load management, and why dehumidification strategies that work in one climate can be completely wrong in another. They also unpack the challenges of managing moisture in vented crawlspaces and why adding equipment isn't always the right answer.Along the way, the conversation takes an important turn into floodplain construction, with a great discussion—and a must-read resource—on FEMA breakaway walls and how they intersect with moisture management and durability. Plenty of tough love, plenty of building science, and lots of useful takeaways despite the rough ride.PETE'S RESOURCES: - "Dealing with Moisture of Construction" (GBA)- Do ERVs really manage interior sources of moisture?

Get Goat Wise | Homestead Livestock, Raising Goats, Chickens, Off-grid living
Regenerative agriculture can feel like a buzzword, a badge, or a list of practices you're supposed to follow. But in real life, and especially in a challenging climate, regeneration is a process of learning, comparing ideas against your own environment, testing small changes, observing what your land and animals are telling you, and adjusting as you go. In this episode, I'm sharing the decision-making loop we use on our ranch with both goats and cattle, and why I see multi-species grazing as a long-term benefit—even though it adds complexity in the beginning. I also walk through our big-picture goal of reducing supplemental hay by extending the grazing season, and the real constraints we have to work within, like limited moisture, fragile pasture, frozen ground, predators, and wildlife pressure. You'll hear how we're approaching water infiltration and soil building in a dry climate, why we're testing straw bales to slow runoff first, and what we've already observed from years of intensive rotational grazing, chicken tractors, and summer bale grazing. I also explain why certain popular practices don't translate well to goat management in our conditions—and how we adapt without abandoning the principles. In This Episode, I Cover: Why regenerative agriculture is a process, not a destination The decision-making loop: Learn → Compare Context → Clarify Goals → Test → Observe → Adjust → Repeat How to learn from other producers without copy-pasting their practices Shifting from “this won't work in my climate” to “how do these principles apply here?” Why nature is the best teacher and how to use observation as your guide Our big-picture goal: reducing hay by extending spring and fall grazing The resource bottleneck in dry country: water infiltration and water-holding capacity Why soil cover and organic matter are critical in moisture-limited environments Using straw bales to slow runoff as a low-risk way to test water flow paths What we've observed after 5 years of intensive rotational grazing The forage improvements we've seen from chicken tractors and summer bale grazing Why winter bale grazing is risky/not feasible for us right now (electric netting in frozen ground, elk pressure) A winter feeding strategy that works within predator pressure and management reality A soil-building feeding approach we're preparing to test (and why snow cover matters) Why we're not buying a no-till drill right now—and what we want in place first Why starting with annuals can make sense before investing in expensive perennial seed Key Takeaways: Regenerative practices aren't universal—principles transfer, but application must fit your climate and animals. Nature is the best teacher: observation turns theory into real management decisions. Start with clear goals and real constraints, then break big objectives into small, testable steps. Moisture-limited land requires prioritizing water infiltration, water-holding capacity, and soil cover. Testing small and reversible ideas (like straw bales) can prevent expensive mistakes. Multi-species grazing is a long-term benefit, but it adds complexity—especially in the beginning. “Not yet” is a valid answer on tools and investments; timing matters. Progress comes from repeated cycles of learning, testing, observing, and adjusting—not from perfection.

According to Dr Yasemin Didem Aktas, deputy academic director of the UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB), “Mould is everywhere, all the time,” this is because the UK is a pretty wet country and so some level of mould, particularly in damp places like bathrooms or windows is to be expected. However it is how we manage the mould and prevent it building up into dangerous levels that is important. If you notice patches of mould on walls or ceilings then it's time to do something to stop spores spreading in the air. When is there too much? Why is mould bad for your health? How can I treat mould? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : What is a faecal transplant? What is BookTok? What is the romance gap?

Temporary Storage – Is Your System Ready?Temporary storage plays a critical role in grain operations—but it comes with unique challenges, risks, and costs that must be carefully managed. In this episode, 40-year industry veteran Bob Marlow shares hard-earned lessons, success strategies, technologies improving temporary storage, and a practical framework for evaluating whether this year's plan is truly ready.From grain quality protection and site design to cost tracking and operational safety, Bob provides real-world examples every grain facility can learn from—plus one cautionary tale you won't forget.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhen and why facilities rely on temporary storage—and how to distinguish emergency vs. true temporary storageThe biggest advantages vs. drawbacks compared to permanent storageEssential steps to ensure your temporary storage system is ready before harvestHow pad design, tarps, aeration, and fan management impact safety and grain qualityWhy grain quality issues escalate faster in piles and how to prevent lossThe most commonly overlooked or “hidden” costs—and how to track themNew tech and evolving best practices (CO₂ monitoring, wind-based fan control, improved tarps, cover-on-first systems)A practical readiness checklist based on Purdue's SLAM method (Sanitize, Level, Aerate, Monitor)Key TakeawaysTemporary storage is not “cheap storage.” It has recurring costs and higher risk that demand intentional planning.Grain quality is the make-or-break factor. Moisture, temperature swings, and tarp failures can quickly turn #1 grain into sample grade.Don't “set it and forget it.” Fan mismanagement can cause re-wetting, heating, mold, and insects.Track true costs annually. Labor, tarps, repairs, pest control, fuel/electricity, and reclaim losses add up.Technology is changing the game. CO₂ monitoring, wind-based fan controls, and cover-on-first designs are improving outcomes.Bob's Readiness Checklist (SLAM Method)Before harvest, confirm:S – Sanitize: Clean pad, remove old grain, treat for pests L – Load Level/Core: Build and core the pile properly A – Aerate: Have a plan to cool grain and manage fans correctly M – Monitor/Maintain: Monitor CO₂, temp, tarp condition, equipment & safetyRed Flags That Require Immediate ActionOff-odors around fans (sour, musty, fermented)CO₂ or temperature spikesTarp loosening or wind-flappingWater pooling around the pad or under tarpsCrusting or heating at surface or sidewalls Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

In this episode of the Fire Science Show we invite dr. Antonela Čolić from the OFR Consultants, to break down the performance of adhesives used in CLT in fire, what differences between the glues are observable at the microscale and how they show up in real structure fires.We compare common polyurethane adhesives: one that softens near 200–220 C and one that resists softening, crosslinks, and ultimately chars. Through thermogravimetric and calorimetric testing, we map pivotal transitions like glass transition and softening. Then we scale up. With small shear-lap coupons and meter-long cantilevers under controlled heat flux, we see how mechanical load amplifies normal strains at the bond line—especially in cross-laminated elements where grain orientation concentrates stress. The result is a clear picture of when heat-induced delamination begins, how it differs from char fall-off, and why heat flux often dominates the story.Moisture emerges as a powerful, often overlooked driver. Using neutron imaging, we visualize vapor moving toward and across the bond line, slowing as it crosses the interface. That temporary moisture retention can make an adhesive appear to “fail at a lower temperature,” not from chemistry alone but from local pore pressure and hydration dynamics. We translate these findings into actionable guidance: specify adhesives that char rather than soften, control lamella thickness, consider parallel lamellas to preserve capacity after a ply loss, and model realistic heat flux and shear demands instead of relying on a single critical temperature.If you design or review mass timber, this conversation gives you the tools to ask better questions: Which adhesive? What heat flux history? How much shear at the bond line? And how will moisture in use and during fire shift the thresholds you're counting on? Interested in further reading?

In this short podcast, Bryan talks about the hidden cost of killing radiant load, especially when it comes to installing radiant barriers in attics. We sometimes get service calls about ducts sweating when they never used to sweat. If there are no problems with the system (i.e., the refrigerant charge, static pressure, airflow, supply air temperature, and blower speeds are all good), this type of situation can be a head-scratcher. Ask a customer if they've made any changes to the attic or equipment since the last service call, and there's a great chance they'll say something about adding a radiant barrier to keep the attic cooler. Ducts pick up heat from the surfaces in the attic. Radiant heat can come from the sun, but visible light isn't required for radiation to happen, and it can occur between objects. A radiant barrier prevents solar heat absorbed by the roof decking from radiating onto attic surfaces, but it doesn't change the dew point. When attic surfaces are cooler and the cool air passes through, the surface temperature drops below the dew point. Condensation happens on the surface; when moisture accumulates, it can lead to other problems, like the dirty M word. Moisture issues happen with low sensible load and high latent load, especially in times like hurricane season in Florida. Adding heat to a space also makes it drier because it acts as a reheat source and drops the relative humidity. It also adds to the sensible load, leading to longer runtimes (better for comfort but more expensive in terms of energy). When we remove that radiant heat, we increase the risk of condensation and short runtimes. If moisture problems are caused by a radiant barrier, then the barrier will need to come out or the attic will need to be encapsulated and dehumidified.

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. The strongest muscle in your body might be quietly screaming crucial information about your health—and you're probably missing it. Your tongue, that little muscular organ you use every day without much thought, serves as one of the most revealing mirrors of your overall wellbeing.As homeopaths, we treasure objective signs—those physical manifestations that don't rely on subjective reporting—and the tongue ranks among our most valuable diagnostic tools. Its color alone speaks volumes: a pale tongue suggests low vitality or anemia, bright red indicates inflammation or heat, while bluish or purple coloration points to poor circulation. The coating provides another layer of insight, with white suggesting sluggish digestion or candida, yellow indicating liver stress, and even the absence of coating potentially signaling exhaustion or chronic illness. Moisture, shape, texture—each characteristic adds another piece to the puzzle of your health status.This episode explores how specific tongue appearances correlate with homeopathic remedies: Belladonna for the red, dry, inflamed tongue with fever; China for the pale tongue after fluid loss; Antimonium Crudum for thick white coatings after overindulgence. We share real case studies demonstrating how these tongue observations confirmed remedy selections and facilitated healing. Beyond acute conditions, we delve into how the tongue reveals deeper miasmatic patterns—those inherited tendencies toward certain disease expressions that manifest in characteristic tongue appearances across generations. While tongue scrapers might temporarily improve breath freshness, they merely address surface symptoms rather than root causes—a perfect illustration of homeopathy's deeper approach to healing.Understanding your tongue's messages requires consistent observation. Check it in the morning before eating or brushing, notice changes during illness or stress, and integrate these observations with your other symptoms. Ready to discover what your tongue is trying to tell you? Subscribe to our podcast for more insights into using homeopathy at home, and visit our website for resources to deepen your understanding of this powerful healing system.FIND ME!
In this short podcast episode, Bryan explains how leaky ducts can lead to sweaty, uncomfortable houses. Moisture issues are common all across humid and "green-grass" climates in the United States. Hot, unconditioned attics and crawl spaces also often have high dew points, which can cause moisture problems in those spaces. Plants also release moisture, so agricultural communities also have those special considerations. There are several HVAC and building design factors that can prevent or worsen growth from moisture problems. Duct leakage is one of those factors. Return and supply leaks can cause moisture to enter the ductwork. Return leaks suck in air from around the leak. Supply leaks create a pressure differential that can cause mechanically-driven infiltration (MAD-AIR); when a supply duct leak puts the attic under positive pressure, somewhere else has to go under negative pressure. There are lots of gaps and cracks around boots and can lights, which provides pathways for hot, moist air to seep into the envelope. Longer runtimes and keeping the fan on will worsen these conditions. We need to control the source of moisture and then seal the ducts and boots before we focus on the equipment. Visual inspections at the connections and boots will go a long way, but there are also plenty of tools for testing duct leakage, especially by Retrotec and TEC. You can also measure house pressure to the outdoors with the air handler running and all the doors closed, but that's a qualitative measurement that has a lot of other variables to consider.
