EP 25 The Future of Housing: Reflections on the 2018 HabitatX Conference

What will housing look like in the future? Who are some of the leaders? What are some the topics driving this industry?   Bill Spohn welcomes back Chris Dorsi, contractor, educator, author and founder of HabitatX.com to give an overview of all the great discussions held at the 2018 HabitatX conference.   We discuss the human aspect of housing which ties in intimately with the nature of this conference; it’s about the people. We take a walk through the 3 days of the conference* discussing how the structure of the agenda has evolved, who the participants are, including the 3 HabitatX Fellows that were sponsored this year. (Learn more about the fellowship application process by contacting [email protected].)   * follow the agenda at www.habitatx.com/2018-summer-national-conference/agenda/   We touch upon the timely topics of passive house construction, healthy homes, building material content disclosures and generating consumer demand for high performing homes.
