provide a solution for housing that is cost
effective and energy efficient, we are also
required to use building materials that

to highlight how we are currently using

investigate and explore new systems
and materials for the Unitec sustainable
house in response to current housing and
building needs. The project’s research
conclusions will be made available
to industry sponsors, students, local
government and the wider community.
