Significant Building Code update to H1 Energy Efficiency

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) released the biggest energy efficiency changes to the acceptable solutions and verification methods in more than a decade.

 

This year’s Building Code update means significant changes for all parts of the sector – manufacturers, suppliers, builders and homeowners. These changes to the construction, design and practices help create better quality homes and buildings for New Zealand, with less impact on the environment. With a focus on energy efficiency, these changes will help to ensure that new homes are more comfortable and healthier to live and work in.
