Simplifying H1 Reports: Your Path to H1 Compliance Made Easy with Reshape Consulting

When it comes to building or renovating properties, energy efficiency is a crucial aspect to consider. Not only does it contribute to a greener environment, but it also helps save costs in the long run.

 

In New Zealand, the Building Code clause H1 sets the standards for energy efficiency, with H1 Reports playing a key role in ensuring compliance.

 

H1 Reports, specifically related to energy efficiency, outline the requirements and guidelines for building owners, architects, and developers to achieve the building code compliance in their projects. There are 3 main H1 compliance pathways: the H1 Modelling Method, Calculation Method, and Schedule Method.

 

Understanding and implementing these methods can be complex, especially for those unfamiliar with the intricacies of the new energy efficiency regulations which have recently come into effect.

 

This is where Reshape Consulting comes in as your trusted partner and advisor. Reshape Consulting is an engineering company that specialises in providing expert guidance to help you navigate the requirements of the new H1 clauses to achieve compliance.

 

With Reshape Consulting by your side, you can rest assured that you will receive comprehensive guidance to achieve compliance at every step of the way.
