Join Ben Bogie for a compelling opening keynote that traces the evolution of building science—from early rule-of-thumb construction methods to today’s high-performance, data-driven homes. Drawing on more than two decades of hands-on experience and a family legacy rooted in the first generation of super-insulated buildings, Bogie connects the lessons of the past with the innovations shaping the future.
This session will explore how our understanding of air, water, heat, and materials has transformed the way we design and build, highlighting key turning points that have redefined durability, comfort, and energy efficiency. Attendees will gain a deeper appreciation for why buildings fail, how best practices have evolved, and what it takes to deliver resilient, high-performance homes in today’s rapidly changing environment. Equal parts history lesson and forward-looking perspective, this keynote sets the stage for BuildRight by grounding modern building practices in the “why” behind the science.
