The least expensive and most climate-friendly energy is that which we don\u2019t use. The first thing we should always do is use energy efficiency techniques and technologies to reduce energy consumption and waste. When we\u2019re constructing a new building or renovating the envelope of an existing building, it\u2019s wise to install sheathing systems that eliminate air and water leaks, improve structural integrity, and increase thermal efficiency.\xa0

Will Contento is a regional sales manager for Huber Engineered Woods. Huber is the creator of the ZIP system \u2013 a revolutionary building envelope technology that is structurally equivalent to plywood sheathing and creates a built-in vapour permeable, water resistant barrier that decreases air and energy leakage by 40% compared to conventional house wraps. By reducing energy waste, the ZIP system can save up to 20% in annual heating and cooling costs on the average American home.

Worst Career Moment: \u201cI guess my worst moment was the first week of my career. I was just a Business Administration degree holder and no experience in the field prior to Huber. The best way to put it would be drinking from a firehose. I\u2019ve never been more worried about something in my life. It was all brand new to me, and I was scared. I really was.\u201d\xa0

\xa0

Aha! Moment: \u201cI reached out to a builder that I have been targeting for a while. I started a conversation- \u2018Hey! I\u2019m Will from Huber. I know you don\u2019t use our stuff a lot, but I\u2019m wondering if there is an opportunity for me to at least show you some of our product. It wound up that he went to the same college. Right then and there, we had a connection where he was confident speaking with me, and he was like, \u2018Hey, I wanna bring you in and talk more about Huber\u2019\u201d.

\xa0

Best Advice He\u2019s Ever Received: \u201cTell the truth. Just be confident and tell the truth. And if you don\u2019t have the answer to something, ask for help.\u201d

\xa0

Personals Habits that Contribute to Success: \u201cEnergy. You can probably tell that I drink a lot of caffeine too. I\u2019ve got the natural energy, but the stimulants also help out a little bit. So...Just the energy and passion that I bring to every day.\u201d
