In collaboration with 3C-REN, we were delighted to be invited to present again at the annual Girls Build Summer Academy here in San Luis Obispo. Organized by Cal Poly Construction Management, and funded in part by local industry members, the five-day camp hosts young women from all over southern California.
The week’s activities run the gamut from “Tool training” to plumbing and electrical projects to planning, designing and building playhouses that will be donated to local families through Habitat for Humanity.
In Balance was offered a chance to speak about energy efficiency and the role of different insulation types in achieving a project’s goals. We know…. exciting stuff! Luckily, the camp organizers were up for a hands-on approach to the material, so after a couple of slides (ok thirteen), the campers got to dig into loose-fill cellulose, cut denim batts and try their hands at applying house wrap around pesky penetrations.
A big shout-out to Mike Horgan of Cairn Collaborative Design Build for providing supplies and construction wisdom, both in abundance!
