Intriguing, but unable to access the standard without paying for it so not going there. If as you say Tenancy Services have stuffed it up then I cant see how they could come after us, and my tenants are really happy with what they have and say it is warming them adequately (ie it is fit for purpose), so not going to look into this any further. Suggest you raise this to whoever is today's opposition spokesperson on Housing for a parliamentary question (while they are back), I have lost track who that is now

Just got my first assessment. Lounge size, 30-40sqm (house is only 100sqm). Location Wairarapa.
Assessed heating requirement for lounge:
18.3KW
No, I am not joking.
Cheers,
Mike.

Thanks,
Well disaster averted somewhat, my fire guy came back and said that fire is actually 18kw. So the compliance company said they will pass it.
But still totally crazy.
Another interesting point though, also on the report is that it DOESNT need a moisture barrier sheet, as it has good underfloor ventilation.
This is not my understanding of the standard, but I'm not going to complain.
Might be something to look into for others.
Cheers,
Mike

If it has a standard ring foundation (ie enclosed with just the little grill vent every few metres) then it will need it.
A lot of places where the floor is higher off the ground have timber around the underfloor - they often don't need it.
I'd still be asking for their calc sheet - 18kW is a lot of heat requirement unless the lounge opens to a stairway or isn't actually closed off.

I'm struggling with the max 3mm gap for windows and doors. It's crazy and not as easy as just putting in some draft stop as we've found that can prevent windows from closing and the gap ends up being more -Email Sign Up - New Discussions, Monthly Newsletter, About PropertyTalk
