  • Form vs. Function
    E1
    Form vs. FunctionEvery home starts out as an idea. Join the Lunsfords as they conceptualize and plan to build a dream home for their family using cutting edge computer software and their profound knowledge base that emphasizes process before product.
  • Big Picture
    E2
    Big PictureOne way the Lunsfords aim to change your relationship with your home is by giving you new language you may use to describe what you want from your home. Whether you are building, buying, or improving a home, you can ask for performance.
  • Destruction
    E3
    DestructionExplore the subtle science behind how water, in all its forms, interacts with every home in both healthy and unhealthy ways, and learn how new and current homeowners can mitigate such challenges with conscientious, educated preparation.
  • The Truth About Home Building
    E4
    The Truth About Home BuildingA certain level of distrust exists in the home building business between the homeowners and general contractors, a distrust that swings both ways. Take a step back and look at the culture of the home improvement and construction industry.
  • This Little Light of Mine
    E5
    This Little Light of MineWhen designing a new home, the placement and type of windows you choose will have significant impact on the amount of natural light that enters your home, and the overall state of your home's ambient comfort level. Choose wisely.
  • Windbreakers
    E6
    WindbreakersThe quality of a home's enclosure plays a major role in a home's overall performance. Factor in proper air sealant measures and insulation, and Grace and Corbett will tell you that as the builder of a new home, you are on the right path.
  • Slow Burn
    E7
    Slow BurnFire and chemicals are wild, elemental variables that require careful consideration within our home environments. The myriad systems, appliances, and products we use add to our home's indoor chemistry in ways we need to pay attention to.
  • Keeping the Cold at Bay
    E8
    Keeping the Cold at BayHeat can circulate within our homes in three ways: conductively, convectively, and radiationally. Using this rationale, Grace and Corbett reveal the ways we all can fine-tune our home heating systems to provide the cozy comfort we seek.
  • Opening the Ice Box
    E9
    Opening the Ice BoxMoisture affects virtually every aspect of our home's environment, particularly the air quality. Grace and Corbett explore the complexities of regulating the moisture in our homes to help prevent unwanted variables from gaining a foothold.
  • The Headaches of HOMEchem
    E10
    The Headaches of HOMEchemA vast number of molecules inhabit our homes that affect the makeup of our home's chemistry. Indoor chemistry is fundamentally different than outdoor chemistry, and the actions we perform within our homes all have measurable side effects.
  • Healing Your HOMEchem
    E11
    Healing Your HOMEchemControlled ventilation is of paramount importance in regulating our home's chemical and microbiological makeup. Grace and Corbett enlighten us as to the unique ways we can identify, prevent, and cure the HOMEchem headaches that can exist.
  • Universes Battery
    E12
    Universes BatteryLight affects our homes in a variety of ways, including its tendency to cause spontaneous photochemical reactions to take place. Therefore, the Lunsfords believe that factoring light into the calculus of building a home is a top priority.
  • Proof
    E13
    ProofTo maintain control of your home, the Lunsfords firmly believe in the value of testing the unique interactions between heat bleed, air flow and pressure, moisture, and air quality in your home to maximize your family's health and comfort.
