Evolving Auckland
Author: John La RochePublisher:
ISBN: 9781927167038
Category : Auckland (N.Z.)
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
It is easy to understand why Auckland has the largest population of any region in the country. It is blessed with two very sheltered harbours and probably the mildest climate in New Zealand. Auckland has become the commercial capital of New Zealand, but this hasn't happened without the innovation and initiatives provided by the engineering profession. Engineers have been charged with making things,building our infrastructure and keeping it going in the face of rapidly increasing population growth. The basics like water supply, drainage and power supplies are essential, as are the harbour facilities, telecommunications, roads, railways, bridges and airports. The development of these facilities since 1840, the difficulties, political controversies and heartbreaks are described in this book by engineers who have been responsible for building our many and varied facilities.

Author: Passive House for New Zealand
Author: Jason Quinn (Building scientist)Publisher:
ISBN: 9780473469030
Category : Architecture and energy conservation
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
"Our homes should be a safe haven. In this succinct, fiercely argued book, building scientist and Passive House designer Jason Quinn reminds us of all the ways New Zealand housing fails. He takes aim at the Building Code and the high cost of building average (or worse) homes. Most of all, this is a book concerned with how to do better. It makes an impassioned argument for much wider use in New Zealand of the Passive House building performance standard. Jason Quinn demolishes myths about Passive House concepts and demonstrates its relevance for New Zealand conditions. The theory is backed up with concrete examples of New Zealand’s first 24 Certified Passive Houses and concludes with the more diverse projects - apartment buildings, offices and tourist accommodation - that are being planned. Of interest to architects and architectural designers - and those among their clients who are interested in how their new home will work and feel, not just how it will look - Passive House for New Zealand is also an important read for anyone involved in the building industry and in making policy on health and housing"--Back cover.
