E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is building science, architecture, and female entrepreneurship. Welcome to Season 2: I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Nikki Krueger through BS & Beer and other mutual connections. She is a very impressive woman in the building and construction industry and I learn so much from her every time we chat. I thought it was about time to talk more about a hot button issue - Dehumidification and Ventilation! As an industry we don’t know nearly as much about these issues as we should, so i’ve made it my goal to learn what I can from the building industry leaders. I hope you enjoy this discussion I had with Nikki even a quarter as much as I did! Enjoy ~ Emily
