Setting Objectives: Homestar rating
Homestar is the comprehensive, national, independent system that rates the health, comfort and efficiency of New Zealand homes, on a scale of 1-10,(1 being very poor and 10 being world excellence) at both the Design and Built phase.
Homestar ratings are assessed by qualified professionals and certified by the New Zealand Green Building Council. They take into account energy, water, waste, ventilation, health and comfort, and other environmental factors.
New Zealand Green Building Council
The New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) is a not-for-profit, industry organisation dedicated to accelerating the development and adoption of market-based green building practices assessed by the Homestar rating system.
Early adopters are building homes achieving high Homestar ratings.
