Please join us for an essential seminar on carbon counting; the changes coming in 2025 will significantly impact you, are you ready?

Date & Time
May 1-2, 2024 NZST
Location
3pm @ VMAX 2, Event Cinemas Westfield Newmarket
Level 4, 309 Broadway

MBIE is introducing two programmes including houses, commercial, industrial and government buildings:

  1. Whole-of-life embodied carbon: Reporting on embodied carbon for new buildings will be mandatory in 2025. From 2026-2030, new building embodied carbon emissions caps will be reduced.
  2. Transforming operational efficiency: Like the reductions above, this programme limits energy and water usage from 2025-2030.

The specialists will take you through a practical how to on: 

  • Changes to building consents 2025 and how to achieve practical compliance with embodied carbon and operational efficiencies
  • New technologies and cheats to get a compliant, but cost-effective building consent
  • Case studies on concrete alternatives and their implications

At the end of the seminar, you'll be well placed to lead your clients through these upcoming mandatory changes. The seminar will be useful and worthwhile as we freely share our IP and extensive award-winning experience in this field – from the high-level to the nitty-gritty.

Comments From Past Attendees:

“Great presentation...Interactive, informative and fun with many useful project applications.” Sam Prebble | Cequent Projects

"This presentation was engaging, informative and great to see some real data. Thoroughly recommended." Jeremy Dunlop | Ignite Architects

"It was one of the best presentations I have been to." Nathan Taylor | Taylored Spaces Limited

"Mike’s presentation was very insightful, well researched and engaging. He imparted a wealth of knowledge on the majority of heating systems and thermal envelope elements available on the market today. I would highly recommend this event to anyone involved in the construction industry whether in a design, consulting, installation or sales role." Josh Greer | Project360

"Very helpful, for the business, but also a few things to think about for my up-and-coming renovations!" Kymberley Kennedy | Rubix

"I found the seminar very informative, your timing was perfect. I am in the process of buying some land and designing/ building a house which will include a lot of you suggestions especially around windows, heating, solar gain etc." John Russell | Rawlinsons

"I was wondering if this might be the most boring seminar I would attend this year before I went – how wrong could I be!

I would put this up as one of the most informative I have been to in a long while!" Alison Carey Architectural Design

"We had a great turn-out and members enjoyed the presentation, they have all gone away with some very useful information." Faye Pearson-Green Regional Chairperson | Architectural Designers NZ Inc

"It will now also make us question the types of heating that our future clients may decide to use, and we can now suggest potentially better alternatives." Jeff Long | Trinity Developments

"I was persuaded by the work of TM Co as Mechanical Heating and Ventilation Engineers when Mike Baker, at a Presentation of their approach to their methods of analysis and design generated solutions which were contrary to the “known truths” and design solutions for the Heating, Ventilation and Construction of Buildings as I had understood them, and had been presented to us by “design and build” Contractors.

Their approach applies proper analysis of the proposed planning and design of a building, its site, its orientation and it’s proposed construction and insulation requirements as a first step.

From this analysis, the most appropriate Heating, Cooling and Insulation solutions and, perhaps, the window design, unfold to provide the most appropriate solution having regard for both capital cost and operating cost.

This is a Service which is normally confined to larger Buildings. TM Co have the interest to provide the Service for Houses and Small – as well as, Large – Buildings.

We are now working with them on five Projects each with a cost of less than $2 million." Ashley Muir | Director Mason and Wales
