E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is building science, architecture, and female entrepreneurship. Welcome to Season 2: In the effort to continue to encourage women to join the trades, I’m very excited to have another amazing woman jump on the podcast. Mariana with Emu Building Science and I talk about perception, training, and what it’s like to be women in the architecture/construction industry. She’s smart, fun, entertaining, and I enjoyed every minute of it! At a time when it has become apparent how important training for builders is, I couldn’t be happier to highlight what Emu Building Science is doing! Enjoy ~ Emily

Starting with just a couple of projects in Cavriago, Italy in 2009, we have invested a lot of time and heart into our company. We are constantly challenging ourselves to learn about new building science, design + construction methods, and innovative products.
We believe in the widely used maxim, ‘think globally, act locally’ an idea which we hope to bring to our practice through the study of international and local environmental and architectural conditions.
As such, we have been able to grow our client base, our platform of knowledge, and our international experience. We opened an office in Denver, CO, USA, in 2016, and we are constantly growing and changing with this complicated and exciting industry.
Emu Systems
Vision: Research based Passive design/build as the industry standard for mainstream construction.
Mission: To close the gap between mainstream construction practices and advanced, proven building science, and to empower our industry to build for the future and for resiliency through builder training and simple, standard, Passive systems.
We are experts in virtual prototyping for the construction industry, building science nerds, and Passive House enthusiasts with company origins in Australia, experience in Europe, and new roots in Colorado.
