In the final episode of this series, host Darla Simpson interviews Richard Hall of the Nuxalk Nation about a guide he developed: the Residential Construction Specification Guide for the Wet West Coast. We’ll discuss his whole home approach to address not only persistent moisture issues on the central coast, but to design homes that include spaces for cultural practices, support community development and keep energy costs low.
For more on a related project, check out this video developed by the Industry Training Association. It tells the story of an apprenticeship program Richard was also involved in, training members of the Nuxalk Nation to build affordable and energy efficient homes using the Residential Construction Specification Guide.
