BU655 Building blocks for new-build-net-zero carbon houses

Greenhouse gas emissions from new building work must be reduced for New Zealand to meet its commitment to a net-zero carbon economy. 

This bulletin gives an overview of the decisions that designers, builders and clients can take to reduce the carbon footprints of new houses.

This is the second of two bulletins on net-zero carbon building. It follows Bulletin 651 Climate change, net-zero carbon and the building industry.
