Passive House: The smart solution for our changing world – Season 2. Introduction & Programme

Renovation Collaborative

In this podcast season, I talk to Passive House owners and experts all around Australia to find out what Passive House is all about and get to the bottom of all of the misinformation.

Over ten weekly podcast episodes, you'll learn:

• What it's really like to live and work in a passive house building,
• What a passive house is and how it's different to standard residential buildings,
• The key players you need on your project and what they do,
• The differences in Passive House design across each Australian climate zone and finally,
• How to get started.

As you'll find out, Passive House makes complete sense and really is the smart solution for our changing world.

This podcast season creates a comprehensive resource of valuable insights, practical information and solutions to help the industry and the community.

If you want to understand Passive House and have all your questions answered join me every Tuesday for Season 2
