2023 Climate Action Summit

Sporting matching band tour inspired t-shirts, the team was easy to spot among the 600 attendees. The front of the shirt read "Fat Kala walls you make the burnin' world cool down." An ode to the late 70s anthem. The back of the shirt lists out the homes Kala has built and plans to build from 2012-2024.

The afternoon reached its peak when a Kala homeowner took part in a panel discussion.

Jeremy Knoll from BNIM moderated the discussion, joined by Ashley Eusey from Hoefer Welker, Danny Roberson from Arnold Development Group, and Sush Govindan, a proud Kala homeowner.



While such events typically feature insights from industry professionals, gaining firsthand wisdom from someone who has lived in a high-performance home provided a truly enlightening perspective.

Kala participated in the lunch Expo, where we setup a table and two sample walls. The walls were used as a visual to explain the core differences in a Kala home compared to a traditional new home. One wall sample was built to code standard and the other was a Kala high performance wall. Below Joe Nickels is shown explaining the differences in the "fat Kala wall" to an attendee.
