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.   Kohta's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kohta-ueno-472a4/ Links mentioned in the episode: Our Current HVAC Mess Experts discuss problems with residential HVAC systems as a first step toward defining solutions https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/our-current-hvac-mess   Proposed Solutions for Residential HVAC Problems Experts suggest ways to improve the quality of residential heating, ventilating, and cooling equipment installations https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/proposed-solutions-for-the-residential-hvac-industry   A presentation on my investigations of multifamily humidity problems: Multifamily Humidity Control Problems: Muggy Mayhem https://buildingscience.com/sites/default/files/presentation-docs/2021-05-06_nesea_be21_muggy_mayhem_ueno_for_pdf_0.pdf   I have done a presentation on the diagnostic tools I use in my buildings forensic work; here's the slide deck: NESEA BE19 Tools of the Trade for Building Diagnostics March 14, 2019 https://www.buildingscience.com/sites/default/files/2019-03-14_nesea_be19_ueno_tools_trade_diagnostics_for_pdf.pdf 2019-03-14_NESEA_BE19_Ueno_Tools_Trade_Diagnostics.pdf   And here's a YouTube video:   Tools of the Trade for Building Diagnostics with Kohta Ueno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCZIJFXDl9Q&t=2978s&ab_channel=TheBSandBeerShow   The complete rundown of Joe Lstiburek's columns:   https://buildingscience.com/document-search?search_title=&search=&field_doc_topics=All&field_doc_document_type=3&items_per_page=10   And some of the research reports we did under Building America:   https://buildingscience.com/document-search?search_title=&search=&field_doc_topics=All&field_doc_document_type=8&items_per_page=10   This episode was recorded in January 2026.

"I went for wave energy just because I saw a field that has huge demand, that has huge potential for positive impact on the world, and that nobody's succeeding in. So, that kind of was for me, I don't know, maybe a feeling of destiny here. I got a second chance in life and maybe I can make something for the first time in the world, so maybe my second chance will be kind of, you know, worthwhile.”  Inna Braverman on Electric Ladies Podcast Harnessing wave power has been a challenge for smart engineers and innovators for years, and now a Ukrainian-born, Israeli woman has found a way that is surprisingly simple. It's early yet, but her technology seems promising and is and earning accolades. Listen to Inna Braverman, Founder/CEO of Eco Wave Power, explain her innovative wave energy technology in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson. She also shares her poignant personal story that resonates with today's geopolitical tensions, as well as with our energy transition. You'll hear about: How wave energy works, and what makes her system unique. How she got a “second chance” at life – and how her life has come full circle. The five challenges that have stumped other wave energy innovators and how Eco Wave overcomes them. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… “I think that she has to kind of have two factors. One is passion and two is persistence. Because if you're truly passionate about something, if you really feel that you have this amazing opportunity to change the world, then you would also persist. Because you won't give up your dream that easily. And, you know, being in wave energy, I always say that passion is the greatest renewable energy source, even stronger than the power of the waves.” Inna Braverman on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here too.

What makes you adaptable? The podcast episode is a wonderful compliment to this prompt, so give it a listen before you journal to see what comes out for you. Also, consider what might hinder your adaptability and what might be in your way. Take 5 minutes to journal unfiltered and share your insights in the comments below!Episode Summary: In this insightful episode of DOPEamine, Christian Rivera delves into the concept of adaptability through the evolution of whales, inspired by a PBS Nova documentary. This scientific marvel becomes a metaphor for human adaptability, exploring how we, unlike our animal counterparts, use intelligence and innovation to navigate our environment and challenges.Key Points Discussed:* Discovery of Whale Bones in the Desert: The episode kicks off with a fascinating look at the PBS Nova documentary's findings in the Northern Sahara, challenging our perceptions of evolution and adaptability.* Human Adaptability Versus Genetic Evolution: Christian distinguishes between slow genetic evolution and the rapid adaptability humans achieve through technology, social structures, and personal growth.* Technology as a Tool for Adaptation: The conversation explores how advancements, especially in AI, are extending our ability to adapt, potentially transforming everything from agriculture to space colonization.* Exploring Personal and Societal Adaptability: The episode encourages listeners to reflect on adaptability in their lives, considering how societal pressures and personal challenges impact our ability to adapt and grow.* Journal Prompts for Self-Reflection: Listeners are invited to engage with thought-provoking journal prompts on dopeamine.substack.com, designed to inspire self-reflection on adaptability and change.Call to Action:* Join the DOPEamine Community: Engage with like-minded individuals on dopeamine.substack.com, where you can share insights, stories, and participate in journal prompts focused on adaptability, growth, and personal evolution.* Become an Insight Navigator: Dive deeper into your journey of adaptability by becoming a premium subscriber, gaining access to daily prompts and fostering high-quality discussions on personal and societal transformation.Closing Remarks: Christian concludes the episode with an invitation for listeners to contribute to the conversation through comments, questions, and shared experiences. He emphasizes the role of community in understanding and navigating the complexities of adaptability in today's world.Next Steps: Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own paths of adaptability, join the DOPEamine community on Substack, and anticipate future episodes that will further explore the intricate dance between personal growth, societal challenges, and the vast potential of human innovation.Here's my entry:After I recorded this episode I immediately realized some of my own hubris in thinking about animal intelligence and adaptation. It's not as if humans are the only creatures capable of molding and mapping out environment or being nomadic but it does seem like we put a lot of extra emphasis on it and are quite sensitive to environmental changes, so there's more at stake to not change things so harshly. Though I do think we underestimate our ability to adapt.I don't feel like much in my life is very adaptable at the moment if I'm overfocusing on income and navigating life through financial means. But when I think socially and intellectually, we have a lot of ability to adapt and wealth. We have friends all over the world, both Molly and I are quite intelligent and flexible with humans and mental models. I feel myself personally getting far less triggered by people, so that makes me more adaptable to all kinds of people and circumstances I can adapt to. Social adaptation is a major aspect of being adaptable and I suspect my personal understandings of spiral dynamics, personality types, etc. have been massively helpeful in feeling like I can truly go anywhere and do anything. Yeah, there are limits in that right now my rent isn't being paid by making my landlord laugh and we're not getting food out of the kindness of someone's heart. We have to earn a living and pay for these things, which is why I'm offering these journal prompts on substack to provide you with some value to donate and contribute to my life and work. I feel like I have no shortage of ideas to try in order to make a living without having to push myself physically or burn out as if I've done over and over. This is all a grand experiment. So, I'm grateful when you're able to contribute or provide feedback.Through this writing I'm realizing I have more flexibility than I give myself credit for and if money is truly the only problem right now then that's not so bad because I have lovely people like you contributing to this work to which I'm grateful!What about you? What are your thoughts on adaptability? Does it change how you think about your personal trajectory? Is being adaptable for you meaning that you have to go “backwards” and you find it difficult to make that adjustment?

Women of Color in a traditionally male dominated field is lonely uphill battle. Dr. Talithia Williams joins me today to share her story of a Black Woman in Mathematics. Statistician Talithia Williams is an innovative, award-winning college professor, a host of the PBS NOVA documentary Zero to Infinity, co-host of the PBS NOVA series NOVA Wonders and a speaker whose popular TED Talk, “Own Your Body's Data”, extols the value of statistics in quantifying personal health information. She demystifies the mathematical process in amusing and insightful ways to excite students, parents, educators and the larger community about STEM education and its possibilities. In 2015, she won the Mathematical Association of America's Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching by a Beginning College or University Mathematics Faculty Member, which honors faculty members whose teaching is effective and extraordinary, and extends its influence beyond the classroom. It is this excellence that attracted the attention of online educational company The Great Courses, which selected Williams to produce “Learning Statistics: Concepts and Applications in R,” a series of lectures in which she provides tools to evaluate statistical data and determine if it's used appropriately. She is the author of “Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics”, a full-color book highlighting the influence of women in the mathematical sciences in the last two millennia and has narrated several science documentary films including; Hindenburg: The New Evidence, Our Beautiful Planet, Secrets in our DNA, and the joint BBC and NOVA 5-part series Universe: Revealed. Williams is a proud graduate of Spelman College (B.A., mathematics), Howard University (M.S., mathematics) and Rice University (M.A., Ph.D., statistics). Her research involves developing statistical models that emphasize the spatial and temporal structure of data and applying them to problems in the environment. She's worked at NASA, National Security Agency and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and has partnered with the World Health Organization on research regarding cataract surgical rates in African countries. Faith and family round out a busy life that she shares with her husband and three amazing boys. Through her research and work in the community at large, she is helping change the collective mindset regarding STEM in general and math in particular, rebranding the field of mathematics as anything but dry, technical or male-dominated but, instead, a logical, productive career path that is crucial to the future of the country.

Byron Hurt wears a lot of hats: filmmaker, journalist, activist, mentor and more. He's also brave, if his 2022 film Hazing is any indication. Hazing takes on the subculture of humiliation and often violence that people endure when they wish to join certain organizations, including college fraternities and sororities. It's taboo to talk about hazing if you've taken part in it, but Byron, a fraternity member who's seen it from both sides, does just that. We talk about the challenges he encountered in making Hazing, including something that could have scuttled the film's release two days before it premiered on the PBS Independent Lens series. We also talk about Byron's evolving philosophy as to how he treats the participants in his films, as well as his influences as inspirations in the documentary business. Byron's other films include 2023's Lee & Liza's Family Tree, for the PBS NOVA series, as well as Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes and Soul Food Junkies.

On this episode, host Michael Azevedo welcomes back filmmaker Paula Apsell to discuss her new documentary, "Resistance: They Fought Back".   Paula's film is a vivid refutation of the inaccurate idea that during the Holocaust, the Jews of Europe meekly submitted to Nazi atrocities, like so-called lambs to the slaughter.    Told by survivors, their children, and scholars from the U.S. Israel, and Europe, the film reveals how the Jews fought back, uncovering evidence of non-violent methods which served as crucial tools of resistance and evolved into Jewish armed revolts in ghettos, forests and death camps.    Today, almost eighty years after the Holocaust, this story remains largely unknown to the general public. Without it, Paula believes, our understanding of this genocide, which wiped out two-thirds of European Jewry, remains incomplete, giving rise to renewed antisemitism, hatred, and denial of the Holocaust itself.   Paula Apsell spent 35 years as the Senior Executive Producer of the PBS NOVA science series responsible for more than 650 documentaries about the sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine and which won every major broadcasting award including the Emmy; the Peabody; and an Academy Award nomination for Special Effects. She has been recognized with numerous individual awards including the 2018 Lifetime Achievement Emmy of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Currently she is CEO of Leading Edge Productions.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

Executive Producer Paula S. Apsell talks about her new documentary “Resistance - They Fought Back” with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™. The film is having its World Premiere at the Boston Jewish Film Festival November 2nd and  9th. “Resistance - They Fought Back” explores the misinformation that Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter during the Holocaust. Actually Jews fought back in more than sixty armed rebellions including six in death camps and thousands of Jewish partisans in forests of Europe. Through interviews with historians, survivors and their families the film belies a long-held myth and shines a new light on a lost chapter of history. Apsell co-directed this relevant and timely film with Kirk Wolfinger after a documentary they made for the PBS NOVA series in 2016 which she helmed for 35 years. Told by survivors, their children and expert witnesses from the U.S, Israel and Europe “Resistance - They Fought Back” is a revelation based on extensive research of how the Jews of Europe fought back. It uncovers evidence of non-violent methods which served as crucial tools of resistance and evolved into Jewish armed revolts in ghettos, forests and death camps even as the odds of success were alarmingly small. Today almost eighty years after the Holocaust this story remains largely unknown to the general public. It is important to understand this genocide that wiped out two-thirds of European Jews especially with the global rise of antisemitism, hatred and denial of the Holocaust itself. We talked to Paula about what she hopes to accomplish with “Resistance - They Fought Back” and as a fierce ally her spin on our LGBTQ issues.  Paula S. Apsell spent 35 years as the Senior Executive Producer of the PBS NOVA science series responsible for more than 650 documentaries in the sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine which won every major broadcasting award including the Emmy; the Peabody; the duPont-Columbia University Gold and Silver Batons and an Academy Award nomination for Special Effects.

Marcia Franklin talks with Liza Long, the Boise author of "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother," a blog post that was eventually read by millions of people around the world. Long wrote the piece hours after the mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., on December 14, 2012. In it, she expressed her fears about her teenage son "Michael," who has a mental illness and has physically threatened her. The essay was a plea for help for him and for Long, who had struggled to get him services. Originally titled "Thinking the Unthinkable," the post was picked up by The Blue Review, a journal published by the College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs at Boise State University, and renamed "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother," a phrase Long used in her piece. The Huffington Post then re-published it. Thousands of people have now commented on the piece - some identifying with Long's fear of her son and her frustrations seeking treatment for him, and others berating her for discussing his personal life so openly. Franklin talks with Long about the reaction to the piece and about the past year, during which she testified before a Congressional committee, appeared on numerous television programs (including a PBS NOVA documentary), gave a TedX talk in San Antonio and wrote a book. Originally aired: 12/13/13

Sometimes finding hope requires shifting our gaze from humanity. In this episode of Book Dreams, we take an up-close and uplifting look at the four-eyed spook fish, the great gray owl, the star-nosed mole, and even the bloodthirsty vampire bat. Our guest, Jackie Higgins–author of Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses–shares riveting details about the sensory capabilities of these animals: the great gray owl's soundlessness and uncanny hearing, for instance; the spook fish's ability to see in the lightless depths of the ocean; the star-nosed mole's lightning-fast touch. Jackie explains, too, how a consideration of the sensory capabilities of these creatures helps us, in turn, better understand similar talents that often lie dormant within us. Finally, we talk with Jackie about how an in-depth knowledge of the sensory capacities of other animals is helping scientists who are grappling with issues like noise pollution and sustainable development. Jackie Higgins is a science writer whose first book, Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses, was deemed a “masterpiece of science and nature writing” by The Washington Post. A graduate of Oxford University with an MA in zoology, Jackie has worked for Oxford Scientific Films for over a decade, as well as for National Geographic, PBS Nova, and the Discovery Channel. She has also written, directed, and produced films at the BBC Science Department. Find us on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email us at contact@bookdreamspodcast.com.

Do you think you have what it takes to climb Mount Everest? Did you ever think about what it might be like,  and if you did it, would you kill a bunch of brain cells and come home…..different? Or, maybe not at all….?  Fact is, today's guest feels that a person of moderate physical capacity could take on The Big E given the right conditions, with the use of bottled oxygen.... He also says to climb Everest it really helps to have been born with what he calls The Stupid Gene...the quality of being able to suffer for long periods of time, even willingly, in order to achieve a goal.Today's guest on The Happiness Quotient is Dr. Peter Hackett….he LITERALLY wrote the book on altitude sickness….it's called Mountain Sickness: Prevention, Recognition and Treatment (American Alpine Club Climber's Guide).Peter is no ordinary doctor...he's a mountaineer. He climbed Everest in 1981 as a member and doctor on the American Medical Expedition...when he summited he was the 111th person ever to summit….it was well before the first guided expedition changed the game on the Mother Goddess of Mountains. It was also before more than one team was allowed on the same route….I first met Peter in 2000, we were working on a documentary for PBS Nova called Deadly Ascent, a film endeavoring  to solve the mystery of high-altitude deaths on one of the most dangerous mountains on Earth: Denali.   I was the high altitude cinematographer and Peter was the doctor, the main character. We were there to chronicle the season, ready to capture on film daring mountain rescues and emergency medical evacuations….In 2007 Peter found the Institute for Altitude Medicine in conjunction with the Telluride Medical Center and the University of Colorado to provide clinical care and consultation, conduct research and develop educational programs to optimize health as well treat medical issues affecting people who either live at, or travel to, high altitudes. Fast forward to 2019….I was on Mount Everest, filming Lost on Everest for National Geographic and Disney….while at 21,000 feet, the evening before leaving for our tam's final summit bid….I began to show some signs of an altitude induced TIA….a trans ischemic attack, or a minor stroke. The symptoms were minor, numbing of the face.... More than 7,000 miles away Dr. Peter Hackett was summoned via Mark Synnott's text messages. Peter was at a medical conference at the time...and he consulted with other physicians about my condition...many texts went back and forth. Basically he said this: 50-percent chance it's really nothing, a migraine thing that will disappear and have no impact on me at altitude. The flip side is that if it IS a TIA and it re-appears on my summit bid….I die. He and the doctors suggested I remove myself from the summit team. That afternoon I was in Base Camp. Maybe I don't have as much of that Stupid Gene as I used to….So, do you have what it takes to climb Everest? What happens up there when someone climbs into the DEath Zone?  A few facts:Let's take the 2019 season, the season I was there on the Chinese side, as an example There were 11 deaths….eight of those deaths are basically unexplained, the cause of death listed as either altitude sickness (3 of the climbers) or exhaustion during descent,...listed for six of them….and of those 11 deaths, six of those were climbers in their 50's or 60's, where the possibility of dying at altitude increases. What is going on at altitude and how is the body responding to the extremes of the death zone?Here's my conversation with Peter Hackett, Doctor of the Death Zone… We spoke in May of 2021, at Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thehappinessquotient)

A former Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Walker is currently a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and the founder & director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. Dr. Walker's research examines the impact of sleep on human health and disease.

His numerous presentations include radio features on the BBC and NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross, City Arts & Lectures, Hidden Brain, Science Friday, and Forum: NPR. In this week's episode, Dr. Walker discusses the importance and impact of sleep. In a time where we struggle to detach ourselves from our daily responsibilities, our recommended amount of sleep suffers. With a lack of rest, our ability to be high-functioning throughout the day is limited. Dr. Walker will highlight how prioritizing your sleep can be the ultimate factor that increases your energy level, productivity, and general wellbeing, and answer the question: What can you do with more sleep?
