Course details
What is passive house? And what impacts can it have? During this webinar, learn the latest from a leading expert in passive house with an opportunity for live Q and A with the presenter Andy Marlow, an accomplished architect and a Director at Australian Passive House Association.

Key learning areas include:

High Performance Windows :How low-emissivity double or triple glazing with thermally broken or non-metal frames can allow solar radiation to penetrate during the winter months (free heating!) but limit during the summer.

Thermal Insulation :Sufficient insulation is what’s needed within the building’s envelope, providing enough thermal separation between the inside environment and the outdoors.

Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery :How ventilation recovers heat and cool that would otherwise be wasted whilst also filtering the air that’s coming into the building.

Airtightness :Ensuring there are only a very limited amount of gaps and cracks within your envelope, giving you full control over your internal environment

Thermal Bridge Free Construction :using materials that are less conductive to heat (i.e. timber in place of metal) and/or incorporating thermal breaks.
