quick question.
0:34:31
It's great to see the passive house elements being used here, and I I love that it's being used more.
0:34:37
But on on the post construction side when people are moving in.
0:34:41
In in my community, I've noticed a lot of problems with mold water leaks.
0:34:48
People not understanding that these when these types of windows are hard to get.
0:34:54
And so just wondering if you're planning on doing any education about what this type of unit means for tenants lack of screens, just what you know, that they have to change the filters often because I think a lot of a lot of people are very unfamiliar with this and don't realize just how much maintenance they need to do annually to make sure that the the unit itself is healthy.
0:35:21
Mhmm.
0:35:21
And so I guess not really a question, but just a a comment that I've I've we've been seeing this in the post construction period, and it would be good to just let people know and build in a plan for regularly changing the filters and making sure those things don't become an issue.

Counselor, that's a great point, and our intent too is to provide that training.
0:35:43
It's good for the 10 to also great for the longevity of each unit.
0:35:47
So duly noted, and we'll definitely be incorporating that.
