60121 (2024). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: Has the Minister reviewed the recent research by EBOSS and New Zealand Certified Builders showing that the added costs of insulation under the new standards could be as low as $2,179 for a three-bedroom house and if so, what is his response to these findings?

Hon Chris Penk: Yes, I have seen this research and I expect my officials to factor this in to the work they currently have underway. Costs can vary significantly depending on climate, building orientation and method of establishing compliance with the H1 energy efficiency requirements.
