Calling all builders, architects and those looking to build their dream home...
Are you sick of paying high power bills?
Are you looking to build a climate resilient home?
Are you a builder or architect looking for the next big thing to offer your clients?
Passive House is a way of building that is energy efficient, comfortable year-round, affordable and sustainable, all at the same time.
With over 60,000 Passive House buildings worldwide, the concept is rapidly growing in popularity.
Passive House is not a brand name, but a construction standard that can be applied by anyone. It’s a proven model, with energy savings that beat other 'low energy' houses by up to 75% .
Come to this session to hear from the Australian Passive House Association about:
Five principles of Passive House to achieve above-and-beyond thermal and energy performance.
How high-performance buildings compare to contemporary building techniques in Australia.
Passive House examples – strawbale in Austria, brick in Adelaide, and the world’s biggest in China.
What’s involved – what components and materials you need, who to contact, and how to find out more.
You'll have the chance to inspect locally-available Passive House components and materials 'in the flesh', access information, and talk direct to an accredited Passive House builder. Come with an open mind and lots of questions!
