A Dunedin pilot project will provide housing for a person whose home became unhabitable after repeated floods. This case study in collaborative action is an example of what’s needed as climate change encroaches on our lives.
Life cycle assessment is being applied to building materials as part of a major BRANZ study into the resilience of flooring and insulation materials to floods and exposure to water.
Research on flood management funding shows a need for a more coordinated approach between regional councils, particularly with more storms and sea-level rise on the horizon.
It is common for major storms to be accompanied by flooding that can result in significant damage to houses. When the waters recede, the repairs must begin, but what is involved?
BRANZ has been busy building one-room huts at its site in Judgeford. These small-scale buildings are being used to study the effects of flooding on building materials, with the goal of improving building resilience.
Surface water flooding is increasingly affecting millions of homes in the UK and Europe. Property level protection has been advocated and a six-step process developed. Could this be an option for New Zealand?
