the BS* + Beer Show
Building Science is better with friends!
*Building Science
For years people have been getting together locally to talk building science. And now we are bringing it to the whole country with an online discussion group format.
The BS + Beer Show is an online talk show focusing on hot topics in building science. Our mission is:
"To spread BS far and wide, and to have fun doing it."
We hope you enjoy all the building science content!

Kohta, Beer, and BS* – Don’t Miss Tomorrow’s Show
THURSDAY July 10, 2025
6pm ET • 5pm CT • 4pm MT • 3pm PT
How do you go about diagnosing a sick, leaky, dripping, humid, dry or uncomfortable building? Kohta Ueno, Principal at Building Science Corp., joins us to discuss the tools and methods he uses to diagnose building enclosures and mechanical systems that are not performing as expected. Kohta is not only a consummate building science geek but a highly engaging presenter, so even if you don’t plan to do building diagnostics yourself, tune in to learn, ask questions or just be entertained!
