Thinking about joining but not sure what to expect?
Here’s some info to get you started.
-
This 6-part live series explores the future of building and living well, with a focus on sustainable construction, healthy materials, high-performance design, and better housing outcomes.
It’s offered in two tracks: one for architects, builders, and designers, with a more in-depth, industry-focused approach, and one for the building-curious—homeowners, renters, and buyers—focused on clear, practical takeaways for everyday decision-making.
Each session is live, monthly, and interactive, designed to turn complex ideas into meaningful conversations and real-world applications.
-
Both. It’s a structured, interactive conversation. Lindsey presents a topic with slides, offering key insights, and then opens the floor for questions, discussion, and shared experiences. There are also informal moments for participants to connect, exchange ideas, and use each other as a resource.
-
This series is for anyone shaping the built environment—architects, builders, designers, and professionals exploring sustainable, high-performance approaches—as well as for the building-curious: homeowners, renters, buyers, or anyone simply eager to learn more. It’s designed for both professionals and non-professionals alike.
-
We’ll focus on real-world applications of sustainable design, including natural materials, high-performance envelopes, certification systems, and collaboration between design and construction teams.

Not at all. The series is designed to be accessible while still offering depth for those with more experience. With two distinct session groups, each track is tailored to its audience, meeting you where you are—whether you’re a seasoned professional or simply building-curious.

You’re welcome to do either. The sessions are structured to encourage participation, but there’s no pressure to contribute.
-
What makes this series different is its practical, grounded approach—it’s not just theory. You’ll explore what works, what doesn’t, and how to apply it to real projects, with insights you can use immediately.
It also fosters community, giving participants space to learn from one another, share experiences, and build connections. Other key differences include:
Tailored content: Each track is designed for its audience, whether professional or building-curious.
Interactive format: Sessions combine presentations, discussion, and informal conversation.
Ongoing engagement: Opportunities to ask questions, exchange resources, and continue the conversation beyond the session.
-
You can join any session you like—each one stands on its own but also adds to the bigger conversation.
-
Miss one? No problem! All sessions are recorded, so you can watch or rewatch them anytime.
-
The sessions are primarily focused on residential projects, but the concepts and insights are applicable to all types of building and design.
-
Yes! After each session, we compile all the resources discussed into a single, living resource book. It’s available for everyone to keep, add to, and continue learning from long after the session ends.

Nope! All you need is a computer with a webcam and microphone, and you’re all set to join.
