You’re listening to ‘Buildipedia’, the go-to podcast that helps Australians build the home of their dreams. By covering the entire journey, from buying your home through to design, building, selling and everything in between, we will help you fill in the blanks and bring your property visions to life!
In this episode, we are going to introduce the Passive House building standard in the Australian context and why you should consider it for your home build project. We are lucky to have certified Passive House architectural designer Gionata Comacchio and Engineer Elsie Wang, an expert in building physics, join us as we cover the origins of Passive House, the design theory, benefits for buyers and occupants, as well as financial considerations for implementing Passive House design.
KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS
Passive house technology and methodology are available and affordable right now, allowing homeowners to achieve a comfortable and healthy home without waiting for new materials.
Health, comfort, and energy efficiency are interconnected and all three components are essential for an effective high-performing home. Passive house design allows homeowners to achieve all three.
Passive house design encourages homeowners to view their homes as a system, which should be healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient. Therefore, every home should aim to incorporate passive house principles.
