About the author

With a background in physics and nearly twenty years of experience in many facets of the residential buildings industry, Allison Bailes has a good handle on what’s wrong with residential buildings and how to fix them. In 2001, he built a high-performance home and launched himself into a new career in the world of building science. Since that time, he has worked as an HVAC designer, home performance contractor, regional manager for a green-building program, and building science trainer. For most of this new career, Dr. Bailes has run his own companies. Energy Vanguard, which he started in 2008, is his current firm.

At heart, though, Dr. Bailes is a teacher. He taught high school science for three years prior to earning a PhD in physics from the University of Florida and then taught physics for six years at the college level after his graduate education. Since leaving academia, he has focused his teaching on the principles of building science. Through short presentations, workshops, and extended classes, he has helped thousands of people understand how buildings work.

What Dr. Bailes is most known for is writing the Energy Vanguard Blog, which gets ten thousand page views per day. He also writes regularly for Green Building Advisor and has had articles published in Fine Homebuilding, The Journal of Light Construction, Home Energy Magazine, and other publications. Dr. Bailes is also popular speaker at conferences, presenting keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and extended workshops. In addition, he is a runner, a juggler, and a skier as well as having the honor of being perhaps the only man included in Who’s Who of American Women.

Update #1 - Eight days in... March 25, 2020

Good evening, friends.  I wanted to give you a little update about the status of the crowdfunding campaign for my book, A House Needs to Breathe...Or Does It?  Thanks to all of you who have already pre-ordered one or more copies, we hit the big 500 today!  Thank you!

That's good news because 500 is the threshold for Publishizer to pitch the book to traditional publishers.  My next goal is to get to 1,000 pre-orders.  The more copies of a book are pre-ordered, the more publishers take notice.  And 1,000 not only has an extra digit but it's just a nice number.

Will you help me get there?  I'm not asking you to order more copies yourself (although I'm not asking you not to, either), but you can help by sharing the link for the campaign page with social media networks and with friends, family, and coworkers you think might benefit from the book.  Here's the link:

https://publishizer.com/a-house-needs-to-breatheor-does-it

I'm excited to have hit the first threshold and I have you to thank for that.  So thank you!

All the best,

~ Allison

PS  I've written a couple of articles on the coronavirus crisis in the Energy Vanguard Blog since I started this campaign last week.  If you haven't seen them yet, you can find them here:
