Matt and Steve sit down to talk about the newest installment in the Build Science™ series, Build Science™ 201 . The conversation covers the importance of both Build Science™ 101 & 201 as educational tools for builders, architects, and contractors, emphasizing how these can help improve the understanding and application of advanced building techniques.

They reflect on their experience in the field, sharing how they've learned over the years by educating themselves and seeking guidance from mentors, such as Joe Lstiburek, a building science expert. Steve, for instance, worked closely with Joe at Building Science Corporation, where he gained deep insight into construction techniques, especially concerning water mitigation, flashing, and the control of building layers.

Matt and Steve discuss how Build Science series provides quizzes and certificates to validate knowledge, making it a valuable tool for training teams. 

Overall, they stress lifelong learning in the building profession, the importance of understanding building science, and the value of sharing knowledge within the construction community.
