About this event

Did you know up to 35% of heat is lost or gained through your ceiling, and another 25% through the walls? If you are thinking about installing or improving your insulation but are not sure where to start, or simply want to know more about natural, untreated wood fibre insulation, then this session is for you!

Join us in our next online event, a conversation with James Cornell, Managing Director of Life Panels and passive building design expert and discover the fundamental principles required to build in a better way. James demonstrates why Thermal Performance, Moisture Control and Overheating Control must be used in conjunction and not in isolation, therefore demonstrating why Woodfibre is the ideal solution. High performing, termite and fire resistant and a breathable material choice that won’t allow to trap moisture, hence avoids mould build up. You will leave the session with the information, theory and resources you need to make the right insulation decisions for your home. Hosted as always by Simone Schenkel, Passive House expert and designer, and Sonja Markovic, CEO and Co-founder of Evitat. 

Life Panels care about honest, genuine products. There are many insulation options out there, and life panels believe that wood fibre offers the best and most versatile solution for many applications without compromise. 10 years of hard work has gone into getting this product to the Australian market and the company is proudly Australian Owned and operated.

James uses his 20+ years of experience in the construction and sustainability industries to educate on the behaviour of moisture, heat/cold, and demonstrate how each is affected by the choice of materials used in construction. In addition to that, James is a master carpenter, licensed builder and certified passive house designer.

As a keynote speaker, James breaks down the basic principles of passive house building and demystifies the science behind sustainable solutions, making it easy to understand to professionals and newcomers alike.
