See the Unseen
Hi everyone. Welcome to See the Unseen, hosted by Shin Sano, a Building Scientist and DOE Home Energy Score Assessor in the San Francisco Bay Area. We decode your home as a system to create a more comfortable, efficient life. From navigating Berkeley’s BESO and local East Bay (Alameda County) regulations to breaking down utility bills, we reveal the hidden science of your house. Having migrated from Japan, I also share unique cultural perspectives on homeownership. Let’s make the "unseen" work for your home’s value and comfort. Music Credits: Theme song "The Woods" — Composed by Iris Sano
