ABSA professionals can make your home more comfortable, save you money and the environment.
The Association of Building Sustainability Assessors (ABSA) is a not for profit Organisation
that represents building and design professionals who specialise in performing home
energy rating assessments throughout New Zealand.
ABSA Assessors use sophisticated computer programs to analyse your home and determine
its home energy rating. Assessors are specifically trained to evaluate the thermal
performance of your home, as well as rating the efficiency of your space heating and
hot water appliances. More importantly, they offer practical advice on cost-effective
ways to improve its performance and create a home that's warmer, healthier, saves
you money and is better for the environment.
