Embracing Sustainable Construction Practices

When German Efficiency Meets Kiwi Can-Do Attitude: A Day of Innovation and Collaboration

Last week, we hosted an incredible full-day workshop where we didn't just talk about energy-efficient retrofitting – we walked the talk! The event, showcasing the innovative technology of the ECOVOLUTION Alliance, was a tremendous success thanks to the active participation and enthusiasm of everyone involved.

We explored the principles of energy-efficient retrofitting and presented cutting-edge solutions from Germany's building industry. A special shoutout to our expert speaker, Florian Antretter, for sharing invaluable insights, and to the ECOVOLUTION Alliance team and panel discussion experts for their engaging demonstrations and thought-provoking discussions. It's always a good sign when the conversation flows so well that we can't answer all the questions!

Thank you to everyone who made this workshop a success. A special thanks to our host, Pro Clima NZ Ltd, for your exceptional hospitality.
Here's to more events that blend the best of German efficiency and Kiwi ingenuity!
