Ms. Barry is widely recognized for her Passive House advocacy work and her dynamic presentations focused on Passive House-related topics. She is regularly invited to present at local, national and international Passive House gatherings. When Bronwyn is not encouraging architects, planners and builders to aim for high performance building, she can be found cycling around San Francisco, or hanging out on Twitter, connecting with the global Passive House community. Her guilty pleasure is travelling. (She is looking forward to the day that Elon Musk gets around to designing a zero emissions commercial airplane so she can indulge this habit without the carbon guilt). Presentation :: Passive House Design for Warm Climates: Future So Bright :: Bronwyn will review Passive House projects in warm (and warming climates) by looking at her own recent Californian designs, plus others in climates similar to those found in Australia and New Zealand. She'll review their essential features, share a few tips and tricks she's discovered along the way, plus fess up to a few flubs she's made along her own Passive House learning journey.

Jon Davies :: Regional Manager, Pro Clima (NZ) Ltd Jon brings building science to his knowledge of education and building materials, providing a generalist approach toward improving housing performance and longevity. He writes and teaches on moisture and heat transport within construction. It is his view that a designer can meet E2 or E3 easily, but meeting them both at the same time requires some thinking to avoid rebuilding. Jon is a Regional Manager at Pro Clima (NZ) Ltd and holds a Bachelor of Education from Auckland University and a Diploma of Teaching from Auckland College of Education. His role in pro clima is to work with architects, designers and builders to ensure knowledge sharing and offer construction problem solving. Prior to working with pro clima he taught in a leaky school without realizing it, rebuilt leaky homes without understanding internal moisture and procured products for a building merchant without regard to material composition. When he is not opening the windows of his children s heated but unventilated classrooms he can be found riding in the Redwoods. Presentation :: Leaky Building 2.0: All You Need to Know :: What is Leaky Building 2.0? Gain an understanding of what causes it and how to prevent it from occurring in your construction. Jon will present practical steps you can take to control internal moisture build up and avoid this systemic failure that has occurred in so many countries around the world and is still happening in New Zealand today.
