Chief Exec update February 2023

Listen back to Andrew Eagles for an update from the Green Building Council, looking ahead to the key issues heading down the slipway. This update Andrew was sharing the latest advocacy wins, look ahead of the 2023 budget, provided a progress update on Green Star for Buildings and talked about our industry leading work on embodied carbon.

This month, he was joined by Matthew Cutler-Welsh, NZGBC's Senior Manager - Residential, who provided an update how Homestar v5 will help you get ahead of building code changes and the Building for Climate Change framework. From 1 February 2023, all general Homestar registrations will be for v5 only and there are some things you need to know about the updated standards – what’s included, what’s not included and how Homestar can help. We’ll focus on the A B C of building performance: Adequate air, breaking bridges and counting carbon.
