This episode of The High Performance Edge honors the memory of Dan Wildenhaus, a longtime trainer, former contractor, and one of the most gifted educators in the high performance world. Dan had an extraordinary gift for making complex building science feel clear, practical, and doable, especially for contractors and techs newer to the idea of the high performance approach. His energy, humor, and generosity left a mark on everyone who learned from him.

Before his unexpected recent passing, Energy Circle CEO and Founder Peter Troast recorded a webinar with Dan on new tools for specifying and sizing heat pumps. This tribute features select clips from that session, along with additional audio shared by close friends. Our thanks to Joe Medosch for helping us assemble this episode.

We share this in appreciation of Dan’s clarity, his passion for doing things the right way, and his lasting impact on our industry.
