OVERVIEW:
Following Passive Solar principles, but with an acknowledgement of a need for a continuous thermal envelope, designs developed to improve indoor comfort and thermal stability. With a desire to find better modelling solutions, the application of thermo dynamics to every element of the building envelope and gaining control over indoor air quality to get a complete picture of the building’s performance embodied in the Passivhaus Standard seemed irresistible.
Following training in NZ in 2012 the basic simplicity of the concept combined with rigorous attention to detail is beguiling and once known, there is no Unknowing!
Creating high performance building envelopes involves:
- Moisture management
- Drainage planes
- Vapor control
- Airtightness
- Condensation
- Thermal bridging and
- Constant ventilation (with heat recovery)
Roger will give an overview of the concepts, some practicalities and key timeline points that make it easier and more economical approaches to achieving far better outcomes
SPEAKER:
ROGER JOYNER - BUILDING DESIGNER (Passivhaus Designer 2013)
PASSIVHAUS PERTH
Roger’s career has spanned decades in the UK architectural & design industries covering commercial, retail, housing, industrial & property development sectors within professional practice, major multiple retail & restaurant operators & running his own design practice for 12 years prior to emigrating to Australia in 1996.
Design awards for his first home in Perth drew a steady flow of private clients for solar passive designed homes culminating in the 2010 ‘South Perth House’ which won most of the Western Australian Housing Industry Association GreenSmart awards in 2013 as well as their national award for Energy Efficiency and the WA Building Designers Association award for best Sustainable Residential Building in 2014.
Feeling passionate about the GHG emissions from wasted energy and seeing that there were still further improvements to be made to energy efficiency through improvements to the thermal envelope, Roger undertook training in New Zealand to become a Passivhaus Consultant and now specialises in the design of ultra-low energy homes in Western Australia.
