BIO:

Murray Durbin is one of the Directors of Enveloped Solutions, based in Auckland. With climate change fuelling more erratic weather events and the potential for more extremes in temperatures moving forward, Enveloped do not believe designing and building to the current Building Code is sufficient. Not only is there a high risk standard homes will be cold and have condensation issues in winter, there is also a high chance of overheating in summer. Enveloped has been involved in supplying products and systems for "high performance" homes and buildings around New Zealand for a number of years, that will exceed current building standards. The company has recently focused its efforts to be specialist importers and distributors of European window and door joinery, and insulation from around the world. In his presentation Murray will showcase the wide range of joinery now available to our market, and explain how importing can be very efficient, and showcase recent and current projects. He will also provide an overview of the range of insulation products now available from PIR, Rockwool, and glasswool.
