This week on the Passive House Podcast we welcome Ben Walsham, the founder and director of ARKATA, based in Brunswick, Victoria. Trained in architecture and now a registered NatHERS Accredited Energy Efficiency Assessor, Ben empowers architects—as well as homeowners, builders, and developers—across Australia to create homes that are not only energy‑efficient, but comfortable, healthy, and resilient

With a background in residential architecture and on-site building, Ben witnessed first-hand the pressing need for better performance in homes. This inspired his transition into sustainability consulting and ultimately to launching ARKATA in 2023.

ARKATA’s mission reflects Ben's philosophy: “Uncover the power of sustainability” through a human‑centered lens, where efficiency measures translate into tangible comfort and wellbeing for occupants.
