OUTLIER Podcast Highlights #6 How to design for Australia's most sustainable housing estate Part 2

Outlier + Adapt Podcast

We are kicking the new year off with a super interesting topic: sustainable property developments. We have Jess Cuman on, designer and thermal assessor in his own business Adapt Design Group, who has done a lot of work for The Cape, Australia’s most sustainable development. We talk about his own personal journey that brought him and his family to focus on more sustainable and energy efficient house design, and what design approach he is taking in his projects. Jess also gives his thoughts on the future of housing developments and shares his wishes for improvements in the building code. After our previous Highlights episodes, we thought this chat with Jess about the Cape was the perfect follow-up. In the episode, we discussed What the weakest areas are when doing a thermal assessment, if they perform As Built Verifications during the builds, what the future holds for developments, and everyone's favourite question; what would Jess change in the NCC? As always, these are only the best bits, so if you would like to know more, check out the full episode on your preferred podcast platform, or our Podcast Playlist on YouTube.
