Comfortech
As building performance requirements continue to evolve, innovation is playing an increasingly important role in how we design, specify, and construct homes. This workshop explores the latest developments from Pink® Batts® across H1 compliance, insulation technology, sustainability, and high-performance building solutions.
Attendees will gain insights into recent H1 updates, practical compliance pathways, and new tools and products designed to simplify specification and installation while improving building performance. The session will also highlight advancements in acoustic insulation, roof perimeter solutions, warm roof technology, embodied carbon reduction, and sustainability initiatives that are shaping the future of the New Zealand construction industry.

Pro Clima
Join technical experts Jon and Richard from Pro Clima, along with their ½ scale construction models, in a interactive Q & A session looking at weather tightness and airtightness detailing for retrofit and new build projects in New Zealand.
Prolam
From Model to Reality: Designing, Building and Living in a Passive House with Potius and Prolam
This workshop explores the design, construction and performance of a real New Zealand Passive House designed, built and occupied by the architect. Through project lessons and practical insights, we’ll discuss reducing thermal bridging, achieving airtightness, the benefits of prefabrication, and how engineered timber solutions such as Potius panels, Prolam glulam and PLX structural systems can support high-performance building outcomes.

STÄRKE
Join Ambiance by STÄRKE for a demonstration on how uPVC windows are installed in a recessed position within the wall, and why this detail is critical for Passive House performance.
You’ll see the recessed flashing kit in action and learn how correct installation eliminates thermal bridging at the junction, one of the most common weak points in an otherwise well-built envelope.
Whether you’re an architect or a builder, this is your chance to see the detail up close and ask Ambiance by STÄRKE any uPVC window questions.
