CPD - Low Energy / High Performance Homes

Have you been a bit cold lately?

Had the heater running most of the day and night to keep warm?

This is the case for most Australians in winter and that indoor heated air is often loaded with mould causing moisture and, in the case of wood or gas fires – other carcinogenic pollutants.  With energy costs spiking, our homes are making us sicker and poorer. 

Accepting the climate crisis and the snail like pace the NCC addresses this, it’s time to delve deeper into the requirements that architects and builders must design and build healthy, low energy homes, lasting homes.

But what does this look like and how is it done safely, in a manner that doesn’t have unintended consequences. It’s time to take out the guess work and delve into the science of how it works.

Join us to hear from experts in this field who have been on this journey for decades and have the data and the details, to back up their work.

Speakers:

• Jessica Allen // Climasure
• Matthew Carland // Carland Constructions & The Mindful Builder Construction Podcast
• Marc Bernstein // Melbourne Design Studios

Learning Outcomes

• The methods achieving low energy healthy homes without going full Passive House
• Moisture management within high performance building structures
• What does a well performing thermal envelope look like
• What are some of the standard design tips and construction that we should be making part of our standard approach

AACA 2021 NSCA Performance Criteria:

Practice Management and Professional Conduct

This unit of competency encompasses a holistic understanding of the organisation of the profession, practice and business of architecture, with the objective of providing value through sustainable, timely and effective professional services in accordance with the ethical and legal obligations of an architect to clients, colleagues, employees and to broader communities.

Project Initiation and Conceptual Design

This unit of competency encompasses the intelligent, creative, iterative and culturally responsive processes of initiating a project and the early stages of design. This involves research, analysis and the exploration of approaches, design ideas and alternative solutions. It leads to a design concept that meets the client’s brief, respects Country and is capable of compliance with planning controls and construction codes.

Detailed Design and Construction Documentation  

This unit of competency encompasses the process of developing the design through research, detailed assessment of options and the integration of technical solutions, value and cost control processes to maintain or enhance the design intent. The final design proposal is cohesive, fully described and resolved to achieve value and cost objectives, and compliance with planning controls and construction codes.

Design Delivery and Construction Phase Services

This unit of competency encompasses the provision of services to support the process of project execution through construction. This may occur through a variety of building procurement methods and construction contracts. The form of construction contract may establish different expectations and obligations upon the architect and may include contract administration services. Typically, all contract types include the timely and cost-effective management of design delivery, review and inspection processes.

Units of Competency: PC12, PC28, PC45, PC46, PC48
