Corbett Lunsford explores the science of homes so it can easily be understood and used by professionals and consumers alike, for better buildings worldwide. He has consulted on homes of all types since 2008 through the Building Performance Workshop and hosted over 600 videos on YouTube's 'Home Performance' channel, along with 90 interviews for the Building Performance Podcast. Corbett wrote the book Home Performance Diagnostics: The Guide to Advanced Testing and developed the APT Reports software tool. In 2016 he and his bride Grace designed and built the world's highest performance tiny house on wheels and toured the US before settling down in Atlanta. Along the way, they created the first TV series about the science of homes, 'Home Diagnosis', which airs on PBS stations across the country and is currently filming season 3.
