SR473 Roadmap for evaluating building performance for low-carbon houses (2022)

This BRANZ stakeholder engagement project investigated the possibility of developing a tool that evaluates a range of interrelated variables such as embodied and operational carbon, thermal performance, energy efficiency, moisture risk and indoor environment quality for new building design and construction. This project brought together the primary building industry stakeholders to co-design a collective roadmap for evaluating building performance. The preferred option is to have a single tool that assesses multiple building performance metrics.
