Heating Assessment Tool updated to include the 2022 Building Code updates
27 April 2023
The Building Code sets performance standards for all New Zealand building work including insulation and glazing requirements applicable to rental properties.
The 2022 Building Code updates to the insulation requirements for windows, skylights, doors, walls and roofs are being implemented in 3 phases on:
- 3 November 2022
- 1 May 2023

The heating assessment tool helps you calculate the minimum heating capacity required for heaters in your rental home under the healthy homes standards. As part of these standards, landlords must provide a qualifying fixed heater (or heaters) that has the required heating capacity to heat the main living room.
