The New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) created Homestar as an independent rating tool for assessing the health, efficiency and sustainability of homes across Aotearoa.
Since launching Homestar in 2010, NZGBC continues to work with experts and organisations across industry and government to ensure it supports New Zealanders in the design, construction and liveability of resilient homes for the long term.
Homestar is a holistic tool that rates a home’s performance and environmental impact. Dependent on location across Aotearoa, a 6 Homestar rating recognises a home that has been built at or above the current standards set by the New Zealand building code.
THE HOMES
Healthy by design. A certified Homestar 6 approach ensures better thermal efficiencies and sustainable building practices.
