Homestar Designer Course

An introduction to Building Performance

Director Joe is the co-author of the Homestar Designer Course, which he also teaches for the New Zealand Green Building Council.

The course is 7 sessions across 7 weeks, with homework and group support, and provides an overview of the key principles of building performance, and how to use them successfully.
