Burkhard Hansen
Burkhard Hansen is passionate about energy efficiency and living comfort.
To Burkhard, Passive House standards are the foundation of a healthy living environment.
Through modern engineering and considerations of building physics, Burkhard aims for Passive House to be a mainstream, affordable and readily available option. He has been involved in successfully executed airtight and energy efficient prefab construction methods in Europe and is keen to be part of the driving force of this change in Australia. To sustain and support this change, he believes it is vital to teach the awareness, knowledge, skills and understanding of building performance, both theoretical and practical.
Burkhard has over 13 years of experience working in various countries around the world implementing Passive House standards.
Since being in Australia, Burkhard has founded Carbonlite Enterprises and has successfully delivered the first prefabricated certified Passive House in Australia. Through this business, he has continued to deliver precision fabricated projects performing to Passive House standards. Although there have been challenges due to the lack of experience and knowledge of airtight buildings, teaching the awareness to designers, engineers and trades has shown these challenges can be overcome.
