Key Learning Outcomes:
- Why do we build and what is the point of building a home? Understanding the most fundamental aspects of a home.
- Sustainability - water kills buildings, and with everyone on a quest to make sure our buildings are sustainable, what is the point if they are not constructed to deal with water.
- Advanced construction technology - everyone wants control of their building. The reality is many homes fail to be controlled by their occupants and are at the mercy of outdoor conditions. This home has been designed and built to take back control using advanced construction methods.
- Cost to build a Passive House - everyone is concerned about what it costs to build a home, but does building a passive house cost more, and if so, how much?
- Windows - how we detail and install windows to last. Big holes are cut into our building structure for windows so we want to make sure they are installed correctly.
- Detailing external cladding - how to ensure cladding installation promotes durability.
