The building and construction sector plays a vital role in terms of New Zealand’s sustainable development. Where New Zealand stands as a nation in terms of new-build residential sustainability is unknown. This report addresses that by:
- advancing previous foundational work carried out in New Zealand, mainly by Beacon Pathway
- concentrating on existing reporting of environmental, economic and social-related information where possible
- accounting for the last 10+ years of development in terms of international building indicator work
- providing actual results for a set of core indicators, effectively providing a Year Zero benchmark to which future results can be compared.
