WELL-BEING FOR YOUR HOME

What is an energy-efficient home?

A homes function is to shelter you, keep you warm, and have the right spaces to suit your life.

An energy-efficient home is one that does this exceptionally, without requiring you to use heaps of energy heating and drying it. It’s built to be cooler in summer, and warmer in winter.

A passive home is the next level up and must be certified. It means your home is built to meet several energy-based criteria to achieve the passive house standard.

Both are a more efficient way of living, which makes for a healthier family, and less expensive power bills. In the long run, it also makes for a healthier environment by reducing energy consumption.

Current building standards aren’t up to scratch, leaving New Zealanders living in homes that are still cold and damp even when they’re new.
