Description

MBIE is removing the Schedule Method as a way to demonstrate compliance with the Building Code H1 insulation requirements as this method does not consider what insulation levels are most appropriate and cost-effective for a particular building.  

Removing the Schedule Method from the H1 acceptable solutions is the first in a number of simple changes aimed at optimising H1 to better balance upfront building costs and longer-term benefits, and to improve consistency and certainty of compliance and consenting.

The Schedule Method will be removed from the Building Code acceptable solutions and verification methods for Energy Efficiency by the end of 2025. Designers will then have 12 months to adjust to the changes.
