#43 - Sustainable & Passivhaus Design Explained with Gionata Comacchio

In this episode of Buildipedia, Mat talks with building designer and sustainability specialist Gionata Comacchio about his journey from the Dolomites in Italy to launching NININ Studio in Australia. Gionata shares the story behind his practice, his passion for Passivhaus design, and the principles that make homes healthier, more comfortable, and more efficient. He unpacks the differences between BASIX, NatHERS, and Passivhaus, offering practical insights for anyone considering a new build or renovation.

Gionata would like to thank the Australian Passivhaus Association for their work in promoting better building standards in Australia, for sharing knowledge and guidance, and for fostering a generous and welcoming community from which he has learned, and continues to learn, a great deal.
