Title: Improving Buildings, Cutting Carbon
Author: GRANT LIBBY & VIGGERS HELEN & HOWDEN-CHAPMAN (EDS)

New Zealand has committed to reducing carbon
emissions to net zero by 2050 and must move
urgently to reach this target. The building and
construction sector is responsible for 20% of our
carbon emissions, so will play a critical role in
achieving this goal.
This book presents local and international
examples of best practices to reduce carbon
emissions in the construction and operation of
residential and commercial buildings. It draws on
knowledge from a wide range of experts, including
researchers, economists, scientists, unionists,
engineering consultants, community groups and
policy advisors.
Mobilising the building sector to reduce carbon
emissions will create exciting opportunities. The
workforce must be upskilled. Building sector
policies need to be clear, targeted, monitored and
enforced. This book shows how all stakeholders
can proactively play their part – politicians, policy
advisors, central and local government, Crown
companies, iwi, community trusts, homeowners,
landlords and tenants. New Zealand needs
sector champions willing to step out from doing
‘business-as-usual’. Above all, we need to
ensure our buildings keep contributing to our
health and wellbeing while we urgently cut the
sector’s emissions.
