[GSBN] Congratulations, John Straube

[Derek Roff]

And my guess would be that John is a lot more fun to have around than most major award winners.  Heck, he's more fun that most of us, and we are a pretty charming bunch.  But he's way above average.  Thanks for all you do, from deep in the unpainted deserts of New Mexico.

Straube received the award as part of the Energy Value in Housing Awards event at the International Builders Show in Orlando on February 8, 2012. Cornell Professor Joseph Laquatra, NCHRC Chair, said of Straube when he presented him with the award, "John has been deeply involved in the areas of building enclosure design, moisture physics, and whole building performance as a researcher, educator, and consultant. Dr. Straube is co-author of the 2005 book, Building Science for Building Enclosures. His work in teaching building science is exemplary and is preparing a generation of engineers to produce buildings that are energy efficient, healthy, comfortable, and durable."
