There are many issues of interest that face us -- the home-owners, the builders -- contractors, sub-contractors, specialty contractors, designers, consultants, suppliers, vendors, and what have you.

We are going to get the crux of those issues -- we will sort out the significant from the trivial, and we will sort out the good things and the bad things. We will acknowledge what is good, and we will acknowledge what is bad. We will celebrate our successes, and we will learn from our failures.

We will learn from the collective wisdom of those who opinion matters the most -- the people who are intimately involved in the building process.

We will conduct surveys and sort out what the problems are out there in the field -- so we can learn and improve our systems and process of creating energy efficient buildings.
