Rating Residential Sustainability Seminar

ebossNOW and Resene are proud to offer video of the speakers from the Rating Residential Sustainability Roadshow.

Ratings are now officially moving into the residential arena with the upcoming launch of a single rating tool to assess the performance and comfort of New Zealand’s new and existing homes.  If this new tool has an impact similar to GreenStar New Zealand for offices and commercial buildings, are we ready?
