    Hello and happy new year! Let's kick off 2026 by teaching new dogs old tricks! 

    Ill be giving the first presentation of the year for the Chicago Building Enclosure Council on thermal resilience and passive survivability. I promise it will be fun.

    You can read a longer abstract of the presentation and find a link to register at the link below. Our local AIA Chapter will be submitting it for CEU credits as well.
