> I might get a better answer on GBA, but any building performance folks you'd recommend connecting with in the SF Bay Area?

I'm halfway down that road, having completed a high performance remodel in the Bay Area, and contemplated a career shift into some adjacent field.

High performance building is not as organized a movement here, but instead a patchwork of architects, contractors and consultants that I had to assemble for my project. Assembling a team that was willing to work in a high performance modality was probably the hardest part. It's still unfamiliar to many customers and professionals.

I also did a good amount of the high performance work on my house, so I got to know the principles and practicals pretty well. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed the process and the learnings (and living in the result).

Would you be open to sharing some details about your project(s)? Things like costs, who you worked with, guiding principles, etc. would be amazing. I feel like maybe finding the kind of people that will do high performance work is just outside of my budget, so I'm curious what you did and with what resources.
Sure, I've temporarily put my linked in URL on my profile. Reach out to me there.
