Description
Sam Archer from The New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) shares how you can build to a Homestar 6 rating. A 6 Homestar rating or higher means the home will be easier and more cost effective to keep warm, healthy and more environmentally friendly than a typical new house built to building code. This podcast was delivered first as a live webinar to Master Builder members to help them understand how Homestar is designed to be good for people, and to have a lower impact on the environment. Participants asked questions which were answered during the session.
