Timber and Passive House

With environmentally sensitive methods and practice becoming entrenched in the future of building, we are delighted to be joined by Daniel Kress, a local expert on the Passive House standard. We discuss how timber can be used in its many forms to create high performance buildings in Australia and dive into pathways to achieve the passive house standards and discuss the future of high-quality built environments.
