March 25, 2022 Episode 40: HVAC Talk: Traditional Ducted vs. Ductless Units
Chad Gillespie Senior Manager, Performance Construction at Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US joins matt to take on a very specific topic: a subset of HVAC around ducted and ductless. The two will dive deep into this to tach us exactly what a ducted unit is and exactly what a ductless unit is. (Hint: ductless= an indoor unit that has no ductwork attached and connects to the heat pump system.) The two will address the different applications, benefits and considerations if you find a ductless unit is right for you. Watch full episodes of Matt on Facebook, Instagram and Build Show

March 11, 2022 Episode 38: Building Better Homes
On this episode of The Build Podcast, Matt chats with his colleagues Steve Lesem and Tim Hill to dig into the topic of better home building. While a typical explanation might involve craftsmanship, the level of fit and finish of a house, the sustainable practices or materials that used during the build, or the cost of construction and the value engineering that went into making sure it was a good value, we'll learn that that's not all there is to it.
Today we're talking about how the house performs, specifically in terms of the comfort (the air quality, the noise acoustics, the thermal quality, etc.) the efficiency (the cost to operate or maintain), durability (how long it takes a system of the house to fail), and the systems of the home ( the mechanical, electrical, the plumbing, the structural, building envelope, and hardware and finishes).

October 29, 2021 Episode 31: The Importance of Maintenance in Disaster Preparation
On this episode of The Build Podcast, Matt and Tim Hill discuss all things maintenance: annual maintenance, seasonal maintenance, and all the things you need to think about after you've completed the house to make sure it continues to function in tip top shape. They’ll also introduce some considerations for both pre and during construction that will help to support a “maintenance free” house – but really there is no such thing as a maintenance free house—but a house that will ultimately look, feel, and perform just as well.
