Introducing the H1 Hub one-stop search tool

Further to the H1 presentation at the 2022 New Zealand Certified Builder (NZCB) Conference and Expo, by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employments (MBIE) General Manager of Building System Performance Branch, John Sneyd, the H1 Hub is now live.

Hosted by the Building Research Association of New Zealand (BRANZ), the H1 Hub is a onestop search tool to help builders, designers, and Building Consent Authorities (BCAs) make the transition to the new building design and construction requirements as required under the Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods for New Zealand Building Code clause H1 Energy efficiency.

The H1 Hub provides search results across all partner websites on H1related content, and represents a collaborative initiative between BRANZ, MBIE, Architectural Designers New Zealand (ADNZ), New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA), Window & Glass Association New Zealand (WGANZ), Insulation Association of New Zealand (IAoNZ), New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC), and Frame & Truss Manufacturers Association of New Zealand (FTMA). The H1 Hub is a key initiative to assist the construction sector in the transition to H1 on 1 May 2023, which is an important step in New Zealand’s journey towards a net-zero carbon built environment by 2050.
