New Zealand has numerous geothermal systems, particularly in the central part of the North Island. Geothermal emissions with sulphur-containing gas species, such as hydrogen sulphide and sulphur dioxide, can be...
This research aimed to better understand how materials perform in different environmental conditions according to construction location and position. Since building materials are estimated to make up around 30% of...

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) have become increasingly popular internationally, driven by the demand for fast, affordable and energy-efficient building solutions. SIPs construction is increasing in New Zealand, but there is...
BRANZ, with industry and research partners, has developed the New Zealand whole-building whole-of-life framework, which aims to provide resources to facilitate more consistent use of life cycle assessment (LCA) applied...
Many New Zealand buildings are standing on a suspended timber floor, and consequently, there are concerns when it comes to dealing with moisture in this space and the effect on...
This study investigated the formation and characteristics of exposed and sheltered positions on seven residential buildings located within representative corrosivity and climate zones across New Zealand.
The BRANZ Industry Needs Survey has consistently identified materials performance as a high priority area and an extensive list of materials performance related topics appear in the sector Research Strategy....
