Though often treated as separate industries, HVAC and Home Performance aren’t just overlapping—they’re inseparable. From energy efficiency to indoor air quality, the systems HVAC contractors install and service are shaped by the buildings they serve.

That’s why forward-thinking contractors must embrace a performance-first mindset, using tools like blower doors, load calculations, and duct diagnostics to get to the root of comfort and efficiency issues.

In this session, you’ll hear how top HVAC pros are integrating building science into their businesses—improving installs, reducing callbacks, and standing out in a crowded market.

You'll also get some insights on how to integrate HVAC into a Home Performance business.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:
  • Gain a better understanding of the interactions between a home or building and the mechanical systems to help ensure the optimum balance of safety, health, comfort and energy efficiency
  • Better understand what HVAC Contractors are faced trades are faced with in designing and installing systems on poorly built homes, and vice-versa, what Home Performance professionals are faced with when engaging with a sub-par HVAC system
  • Be able to make better decision on implementing both HVAC system and home improvements
