The following table provides guidance on Building Code values for New Zealand buildings. These values can be used as a Baseline in the Plugin.
Please see below the table for the New Zealand Climate Zone Map.

The following map lays out the Climate Zones for New Zealand.
Hi, would it be possible for you guys to update this page to reflect the latest changes to the New Zealand standards?
