#15 - When You Know Better, You Build Better with Spencer Rosen

In this episode, I sit down with Spencer Rosen, the founder of Home Energy Academy, to talk about building science, electrification, and homeowner engagement. Spencer shares his journey into home energy education and why he’s so passionate about helping both homeowners and professionals better understand energy efficiency and sustainable living.

We chat about the challenges of upgrading existing homes, the need for a stronger baseline of knowledge among homeowners, and the exciting potential of bringing these ideas into schools. Spencer also told me all about his software development work focused on improving home energy solutions, and we chat through some smart marketing strategies that actually help energy upgrades gain traction.

We wrap up by imagining what ideal energy communities could look like and how to design homes that are truly energy-efficient offering a hopeful look at what's possible for a more sustainable future.
