About this event

With the 7 star standard coming in nationwide from May 1 and more and more of us demanding well-insulated comfortable homes, balancing budget, design and sustainability realities are more critical than ever.

High-performance window and door systems are perhaps THE big ticket item for architects, builders and renovators to achieve efficiency and comfort needs that feed into a high NatHERS star rating (whether you're going for Passive House certification or not).

Come along to this timely session with leaders in the high performance window space. Our hosts Simone Schenkel , Passive House expert and designer, and Sonja Markovic , CEO and Co-founder of Evitat, will talk with Michael Collins from Thermotek Windows & Doors breaking down the end-to-end requirements of today and tomorrow while delivering affordable mulit-benefit projects using real world case study examples.

Thermotek makes superior, energy-efficient and affordable uPVC windows and doors with advanced German technology, customising world-class innovations and sustainable systems for the Australian climate since 2012. Their Fusion-welded uPVC frames with dual-sealed air chambers create incredible insulation in either a double or triple glazing and are manufactured in their Melbourne-based factory. Their extensive knowledge and industry experience includes manufacturing, project management and field support.

These superior locally manufactured products can be ideal for your sustainable build projects and Thermotek are keen collaborators on decisions around: - Window design: orientation, sizing, placement, shading, climate zone, passive solar design - Meeting the criteria of passive house design - 7+ star NatHERS rated builds and renovations - Affordability - Supply chain emissions chain of custody, circularity, embodied carbon
