Passive House Hui 2025
Event details
Pathway to Performance
The recent few years have been tough on the construction industry. Now is the time to plan for the future with Passivhaus.
At the 2025 Hui we will be focusing on how we can prepare for the upturn with small business considerations, developing technical skills, and being part of hands-on practical training sessions.
We’re mindful of costs to businesses at this time and this year’s Hui is keeping things local and low cost. We invite you to be part of this fantastic opportunity to collaborate with our local product and component suppliers, hear from our local experts about implementing Passivhaus in Aotearoa, and network with fellow enthusiasts and professionals.
Our Hui and wrap around events will include the following:
Wednesday, 30th July 2025
- Session 1 (ticketed separately)
Stay Dry: A workshop on preventing moisture-related problems during construction
Presented by: Jason Quinn, Sustainable Engineering Ltd
Time: 1pm – 5pm
This intensive half-day workshop is offered on 30 July 2025, immediately prior to the PHINZ hui
in Christchurch.
It’s designed for architects, Passive House designers and tradespeople and its
practical focus will equip people with the knowledge they need to safely design and build
building envelopes, whether in standard construction or high-performance projects.
Condensation and the mould that often follows are bad for buildings and very bad for human
health. Know your part, whether as a designer or a tradesperson, in preventing these problems
happening in the first place.
The workshop is led by building scientist and Passive House certifier Jason Quinn, principal of
Sustainable Engineering. The information will be taught by way of practical examples, using
construction details and real-life scenarios.
