Building Energy End-use Study (BEES)

The Building Energy End-use Study (BEES) was a 6-year project monitoring and analysing the energy and water consumption of non-residential buildings around New Zealand. This research started in 2007 and was the first of its kind to be done in New Zealand.

  • About BEES

    BEES research provided new understanding of resource use and indoor environments in non-residential buildings. This pinpointed where energy and water efficiency improvements can make the biggest impact.
