American Society of Home Inspectors, Inc.With InspectionWorld 2022 coming back in person, we are more than excited to be back in conference mode again.

Over the past few months, you may have noticed a shift in the content being posted on ASHI’s social media. Instead of posting content directly related to home inspection, ASHI has created content discussing the larger real estate market topics.

Every year I try to share an experience with other veterans. I usually show some old 126 Instamatic photo I took while in service with a little caption.

Energy efficiency is a term to describe how a home reduces unnecessary or excessive energy consumption, cuts down on harmful greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces dependency on nonrenewable resources. While modern construction standards require newer homes to be built with greater energy efficiency, even older homes can implement upgrades to improve their energy efficiency.
As I approach the end of my term as your ASHI President, I find myself thinking about what I have learned. I hope that future leaders, whether in ASHI or in home inspection businesses, find these thoughts helpful. I don’t claim that these thoughts are original, which leads to the first thought: be humble.
