Quality Requires System Thinking

Change is accelerating on every front. Communication, computing, and consumption are evolving at unprecedented speed, while economic pressures and climate realities demand smarter, more integrated solutions. The way we work, live, and build is transforming - and quality cannot be addressed in isolation. Einstein famously said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” That idea is especially relevant now. As an industry, we’ve long embraced the principle that a house is a system. That same systems-based mindset must guide how we approach quality - across people, processes, and performance.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify the core focus of effective management
  • Apply proven approaches that drive continuous improvement within organizations
  • Recognize how organizational culture shapes quality outcomes more than any single process or policy

As heat pumps take center stage in electrification and decarbonization, building science professionals are on the front lines of ensuring these systems actually perform in real homes. Yet too many retrofits still fall short due to incomplete assessments, duct limitations, and equipment choices that don’t match real-world conditions.

In this practical webinar, Brynn will walk through a building-science framework for successful heat pump retrofits - from assessment to verification. You’ll learn how to connect load calculations, airflow and duct diagnostics, electrical capacity, and climate considerations into a clear, actionable decision-making process.

By the end of the session, you’ll be better equipped to reduce performance risk, improve comfort and durability outcomes, and strengthen your credibility as a trusted technical advisor for high-quality heat pump projects.
 
Learning Objectives:
  1. Evaluate heat pump retrofit suitability in existing homes using a building-science-first approach aligned with BPI best practices
  2. Identify and mitigate common causes of heat pump underperformance by integrating load calculations, duct diagnostics, airflow, and electrical considerations into system selection and commissioning
  3. Interpret manufacturer performance data and clearly document and communicate performance-based findings to support quality installation and program compliance

The best time to plan your exit is the day you start your business - not the day you’re ready to leave it. Too often, business owners wait until they’re ready to move on, only to realize their company isn’t prepared for a smooth transition.

This session focuses on the practical realities of succession planning and what it takes to successfully transfer ownership, whether to the next generation, key employees, or an outside buyer. You’ll explore timing, team readiness, and common pitfalls that can derail even well planned transfers  - so you can position your company for continuity, stability, and long-term value when the time comes to move on.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Explain why proactive succession planning is essential to protecting business value and continuity
  2. Assess organizational readiness for transition, including leadership capacity, team preparation, and structural stability
  3. Map realistic timelines, key milestones, and common challenges in the succession process to support smoother ownership transitions
