Built to replace Lancaster Park, Te Kaha (Canterbury Multi-Use Arena) is set to become New Zealand’s largest naturally ventilated building. Its complex design by Populous features a fixed ETFE roof and a façade requiring both cultural expression and high-performance ventilation and acoustic control. In this presentation, we’ll explore how Ventüer delivered over 3000m² of bespoke and proprietary louvre systems. We’ll discuss the performance modelling, design complexities, and innovative engineering that helped overcome challenges like thermal dilation, seismic movement, and long-span blade stability.
Presenter Bio – Simon Hoyle (MD) Ventüer Ltd With a background in aluminium fabrication and a passion for high-performance building envelopes, Simon Hoyle is the co-founder of Ventüer, a company that specialises in engineered ventilation products for commercial and industrial buildings. He brings a practical, detail-focused approach to façade engineering, combining real-world construction experience with a strong understanding of ventilation, acoustic, and smoke louvre systems. Known for his clear communication with architects, engineers, and contractors, Simon is focused on delivering solutions that perform as designed, supported by both science and common sense.
The Ventilation Engineering Group and CIBSE New Zealand invite you to join this webinar to learn about the New Zealand's largest naturally ventilated building.
