Let's Demystify the Passive House (Simone Schenkel)

September 08, 2021

Building sustainable housing is a movement that is growing in momentum in Australia and a topic that we are so passionate about. We understand it can be difficult to know where to begin or how to research all of the design elements that go into a passive house, so we are here to help!

 

Today Kribashini is chatting with Simone Schenkel from Grun Eco Design. Simone is incredibly passionate about the environment and sustainability and is dedicated to creating homes that are safe, resilient, and unique to the owner’s requirements. We are so grateful to have Simone on the show to share all of her amazing and useful tips to consider when designing a passive home.


In this episode, Simone and Kribashini debunk some of the myths associated with passive housing. We talk about energy efficiency, ventilation, passive house principles, and how sustainable homes can still be pretty.


Simone shares how she has worked with over 300 clients in their mission to achieve sustainability within any budget. It’s not as expensive as you may think!

 

Come and join Kribashini and Simone in their conversation about all things sustainability and then check out the Grun Eco Design for ideas and inspiration.
