Nine Teams selected for SHAC Challenge
Teams from nine of the country’s leading tertiary institutions have signed up to the challenge of providing a more
sustainable way of life for New Zealand home owners.
SHAC 09 is a nationwide competition, which has teams of tertiary staff and students, industry professionals and local government representatives joining forces to design, and build or renovate to create a sustainable home.
SHAC 09 National Coordinator Tim Bishop says the challenge is aimed at “producing real homes, generating new knowledge and building partnerships between people with the skills and resources to make sustainable living a reality.”
