Building a home in 2026 is no longer about building bigger. It is about building smarter.

With construction costs rising, land becoming more expensive and energy prices continuing to climb, the old assumptions around home building no longer stack up.

In this practical, no nonsense presentation, Daniel Kress, Founder and Head Trainer of Passivhaus Hub, will show you how to build a high quality, comfortable and future ready home in today’s Perth market without overspending.

Daniel is one of Australia’s leading Passive House educators and has trained the majority of the country’s certified Passive House professionals. His approach cuts through myths, marketing fluff and outdated thinking to focus on what actually delivers better homes.

In this session, you will learn

• Why size is not a measure of quality
• How smart design and compactness can save tens of thousands
• Where money is commonly wasted in residential builds
• Why windows are often the weakest part of the building envelope
• How Passive House principles improve comfort, health and long term value
• Why modelling a home before it is built leads to better outcomes
