The project focuses on installing reclaim beams and blueboard to improve air tightness and ventilation in homes.

Blower door tests help identify leaks for energy efficiency, and an ERV system is installed for fresh air circulation. The team is acknowledged for their work, with upcoming tasks including boarding and plastering.
