Research and reports

This report outlines research conducted by the University of Otago which looks at the heating and cooling potential of moving roof space air into a home's living areas, as the most common type of home ventilation system does.

The report recommends that this type of ventilation system - known as a "positive pressure" or "roof cavity" system - is not promoted or installed based on potential heating or cooling benefits.

EECA was a part-funder of this Otago University research report.

Fonterra has centralised its storage and packing for its Waikato plants on a large dry and cool store facility at Crawford St in Hamilton. This has enabled it to rationalise the storage and transport of its products in the Waikato, and enabed greater use of rail transport.
