Navigating H1-VM1 for Residential Buildings

22.07.25

New Zealand's H1-VM1 energy modeling pathway for residential buildings has long been part of the building code, but it's only recently gained traction. As the stringency within H1 has increased, architects and engineers are discovering its true potential.

This session will explore how H1-VM1 can offer greater design flexibility while also preventing the risk of overheating, a common issue when relying solely on Schedule and Calculation modelling pathways.

Join Darren O'Dea, CEO of Better Building, as he guides you through a streamlined process to integrate H1-VM1 energy modeling into your practice. In just one hour, you'll learn how to leverage this powerful tool to:

• Deliver greater value to your clients.

• Enhance your design capabilities.

• Empower your internal team to foresee and mitigate risks associated with traditional schedule and calculation methods.

By the end of this session, you'll be fully equipped to undertake energy modelling for less than $50 a month using the platform, making cost concerns a thing of the past.
