As part of the OFFSITE26 CPD workshop, Daniel Jakobs, Technical Systems and Solutions Lead for Pro Clima Australia, shared his insights on the difference between achieving a performance rating on paper and delivering that performance in practice.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in high-performance and ecological building, Daniel explored how a simple wall system can deliver real-world performance beyond what a rating alone may suggest.

His presentation highlighted the importance of practical construction, weatherproofing and airtightness in achieving high-performance outcomes.

Thank you, Daniel, for sharing your expertise and practical insights with the OFFSITE26 community.

As part of the OFFSITE26 CPD workshop, Charles Boyce, Passive Fire and Compliance Manager at Jensen Hughes, and Steve Huxham M.AIRAH, National Facade BDM at FIREFLY AU, shared their expertise on two important considerations for modular construction: passive fire compliance and BAL ratings.

Drawing on decades of experience across passive fire protection, modular construction, insulation, fireproofing and waterproofing, Charles and Steve explored the practical considerations around fire compliance and BAL ratings in modular construction.

Thank you, Charles and Steve, for sharing your knowledge and contributing valuable insights to the OFFSITE2026 program.

Would you trust a building material you couldn't test for a hundred years? Off-Earth architects don't have a choice.

That's the challenge at the centre of "The Next Architectural Revolution Won't Happen on Earth," this month's feature in The Link by Dr Giuseppe Calabrese — architect, researcher, and space architecture specialist.

This isn't a piece about science fiction. It's about what happens when architects are forced to solve the same problems we already face here — material scarcity, extreme environments, long-term resilience — with none of the safety nets.

🎓 Read it and you'll come away understanding:

→ How in-situ resource construction (building with what's already there) is reshaping ideas about sustainable design on Earth
→ What ancient earthen architecture — think Petra, Matera, Coober Pedy — has in common with lunar and Martian habitat Design Institute of Australia
→ Why robotic fabrication is becoming central to how the next generation of buildings gets made, on this planet or off it

Whether you're an architect, engineer, builder, or certifier, this is a genuinely different lens on resilience and material efficiency. 💻

Happening tomorrow: A Guide to Achieving 7 Stars & Beyond

Join certified BASIX & NATHERS consultant Mark Zangari tomorrow for a practical workshop that shows you how to embed thermal performance strategies into your initial design phase to confidently meet BASIX (NSW) and NATHERS (Australia-wide) requirements.

Through real building modelling, Mark will demonstrate how glazing, insulation, zoning, shading, colours and floor finishes directly impact your star rating — helping you design smarter, faster and with greater certainty.

You will learn how to:
- Understand how insulation placement drives your star rating
- Choose glazing that fast-tracks compliance
- Apply smart zoning for improved BASIX and NATHERS outcomes
- Use roof and wall colour strategically
- Maximise shading strategies across all climate zones
