    David I hope you are in your new home now and enjoying the fruits of your labour. As a fellow owner of a passive house with a Zehnder HRV I can vouch we are dust and insect free and enjoying 24/7 of fresh air.

    My one change would be to enforce the building surveyor to provide compliance of each stage to ensure the proper construction of each stage.

    • @OUTLIER.Education
      @OUTLIER.Education Місяць тому

      We believe National standardisation would be a great addition also😃

  • @jpeterstme
    @jpeterstme Місяць тому

    Please include details on how to reach 8+ stars. Examples of homes would be great. Also examples with the Nathers software showing were the gains can be had. As an owner of home with only 7.5 star rating with .8 ach50 , r7 ceiling and r3.5 walls and under 1 u-value triple glazed windows, seems like I have been shortchanged with the star rating. I would like to know more about how these values are influenced and calculated. Now that I have been living in the house for over 1 year what is involved in assessing the house to see if it meets or exceeds this rating?

    • @OUTLIER.Education
      @OUTLIER.Education Місяць тому

      We appreciate the comments and your engagement. We have a 7-star case study in the works which we will share including some options for improvements. There are so many variables as to why your own home has achieved the rating of 7.5 even with the values you mention. You could reach out to a thermal assessor and have an as-built rating completed using a NCC 2022 assessment and request an out of regulatory mode analysis using the blower door results of.8 ACH @50

  • @jpeterstme

    Will water vapour build up in the wall assembly if you don’t have a smart vapour barrier behind the plaster to control water vapour condensation on the cold surfaces of the internal side of the external walls?

    • @OUTLIER.Education
      @OUTLIER.Education Місяць тому

      Thanks for the comment. The short answer is not in our experience. We have sensors in the wall assembly of a project monitoring any occurrence of condensation which there has been none. It is worth noting that the project is sub 1ACH with a centralised HRV system maintaining a stabilised internal humidity level.

    Interesting use of plasterboard as the aircontrol layer. I've been searching for alternatives to Intello for a period home retrofit. The house currently has regency bead boards for internal lining which I'd love to keep however the gaps between tongue and groove aren't doing me any favours with airtightness. Thanks for sharing.

    • @OUTLIER.Education
      @OUTLIER.Education Рік тому

      Thanks for the comment. I can understand the desire to retain the regency bead boards 😀and they could suffice as an air control layer with the right product to 'fill the gaps'. Our product range in Australia is very limited as you have no doubt experienced first hand. As a out of the box approach you could look at Pro Clima Aerosana Visconn or even reach out to Clean Air who have AeroSeal as a product in Aus.
