SSP Brings Home Improvement Power Couple’s Touring Tiny House on Wheels to Denver

February 4, 2016 — Jessica Hartbauer

DENVER, Feb. 04, 2016 — Shopping for home improvements or a new home will never be the same, now that the Proof Is Possible Tour is coming to town. Renowned experts Grace and Corbett Lunsford (with their new baby) are on a 20-city U.S. Tour from April 2016-January 2017 in a high performance tiny house on wheels (THOW).  Their mission is simple: to revolutionize the home market by teaching consumers and contractors alike to use scientific testing to prove the work gets done to quality standards.

Each city on the Proof Is Possible Tour is sponsored by a local company who shares the passion for empowering homeowners and changing the game. “Our clients are electric, gas, and water utilities who are huge proponents of energy efficiency. Today’s utilities embrace diagnostic testing to drive home improvements and therefore we see this sponsorship as a way to support this initiative in a very practical manner.

Corbett and Grace demonstrate a real world application of these diagnostics and building methods allowing  homeowners to make improvements that reduce energy consumption while also saving significantly on energy costs, ” said SSP Innovations President Skye Perry, Denver’s sponsor for the tour.

“Diagnostics for measuring ‘home performance’ have been around since the 1970’s, but despite nationwide media campaigns about energy efficiency and ‘going green’, most homeowners have no idea these tests are best used to prove that home improvements worked,” says tour founder Grace Lunsford.  “And if you’re buying a new home, you should ask for the proof that all that money you’re investing is being spent on a quality product. Every builder says they do great work, just like everyone on the highway says they’re great drivers. Now you can scientifically prove whose work is better. This is a win for the contractors too, since they can show up the competition using actual metrics.”

The Proof Is Possible Tour gained a nationwide following months before the schedule was set. The tour is entirely crowdfunded, and in fact reached 119% of its goal on the crowdfund site RocketHub. The Tiny Lab, a tiny house on wheels the couple is building by hand for the tour, is also being collaboratively supported by many manufacturers and suppliers of high performance building products, including PureBond formaldehyde-free plywood, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Broan-NuTone, RAB Lighting, 475 High Performance Building Supply, and the test tool companies Dwyer, FLIR, and Retrotec.

ProofisPossible.com best explains this unique multi-disciplinary project, a culmination of the couple’s work to date and mission to make the world a better place.

The following cities made it onto the tour and represent the diverse interest in measured performance across the home improvement and construction market. A range of home performance testing, HVAC, contracting, advocacy/training, and public housing organizations have sponsored this unique weeklong public event.

Each week, Sunday-Saturday, the couple will pull into town with their Tiny Lab and connect with the community through daily open houses leading up to hands-on workshops for Homeowners and Realtors on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, free of charge. Corbett Lunsford will also teach a full day training for contractors and Home Performance Professionals for a small fee.

Corbett Lunsford says about the tour, “Most of our clients feel lost and frustrated when confronted with problems in their homes. They turn to old-fashioned contractors who give them conflicting opinions based in a myopic view of the house- most HVAC pros only focus on the air conditioner, most roofers recommend a roof fix, plumbers only talk about plumbing. Well, there’s a new type of contractor out there who can rescue us from opinions.

We need to seek out the companies who rely on diagnostics, so we can know exactly what the source of any problem is and exactly how to solve it without flushing lots of money and years of time down the toilet. Our TV show Home Diagnosis will show Americans exactly how to really take ownership of their home- the place where they spend the most time and the most money. The days of disastrous home improvements and brand new ‘money pits’ are over.”

“We believe that this holistic thinking from the top down, Utility Companies, and the bottom up, homeowners, will simply make the world a better place,” added Perry. “We’re honored to give the Denver community this opportunity to learn, embrace, and put into practice these tenets, and all from a super cool Tiny Lab on Wheels!”
