Passivhaus and Prefab in Australian Learning Environments
prefabAUS together with the Australian Passivhaus Association, ArchiTeam Cooperative Ltd and Learning Environments Australasia present this in-person event in Sydney with Knut Menden.
Knut will showcase a leading-edge case study about the German International School Sydney where each mass timber classroom was preassembled offsite and then craned into place in less than 90 minutes per building — all while being designed to the Passivhaus standard!
This case study will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:
Damien Crough - Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at Prefab Australia Daniel Smith - Managing Director at Leaf Architecture | Executive Director at Learning Environments Australasia
Knut Menden - APA Member | Co-Founder at betti&knut architects
Alexia Lidas - CEO at Australian Passivhaus Association
