Homestar® is a comprehensive, independent national rating tool that measures the health, warmth and efficiency of New Zealand houses.

Using Homestar®, houses are rated on a scale of 6 to 10 where 6 means a house is warmer, drier, healthier and cheaper to run compared to a house built to the New Zealand building code and 10 means you have achieved a world leading house.

Surprisingly, the New Zealand Building Code is below the standards required in most IEA (International Energy Agency) member countries with a comparable climate.

At Craft Homes, we firmly believe that higher quality, more energy efficient homestar homes Auckland are the way of the future. They will be of great benefit to the environment and will improve families' quality life by being healthier, warmer and smarter.

Being Homestar® Practitioners and Assessors allows us to undertake the full Homestar® rating process and go above and beyond the current New Zealand Building Code to deliver a homestar home that functions better all year round.

​WHY CHOOSE TO BUILD USING THE HOMESTAR® RATING SYSTEM?

​

Building using the Homestar® rating system will give you access to an incredible range of benefits including:​
​

• A healthier home for you and your family: High spec insulation will make your house naturally warmer and improved ventilation systems will reduce moisture and condensation issues. Having a drier and warmer home during winter will have a huge impact on your health and mood.
• Saving money on running costs: Opt for energy efficient home lighting, appliances and water efficient products.  You will notice a decrease in your utility bills.
• Reducing the impact on the environment: Facilitate the use of eco-friendly materials and products to reduce the amount of waste during build or renovation.
• ​Get in touch with our team if you have any questions about Homestar® or sustainable building.
