Introduction Indoor air pollution is often overlooked in energy, health, and environmental policy, yet many homes still rely on wood burners, gas stoves, and unflued gas heaters. These appliances produce PM₂.₅ (fine particulate matter) and NO₂ (nitrogen dioxide), both of which have documented negative health impacts. In New Zealand, while the health effects of outdoor emissions have been studied and incorporated into policy, indoor combustion emissions have generally not been…

There are two main ways we can achieve carbon neutrality: minimize CO2 emissions at source (by reducing the movement of people, energy and resource consumption, designing adapted proposals, etc.), and compensate for all the remaining emissions. Since 2014, we have been building our proposals and services, considering these two axes. Thus, we are committed to achieve, for each project: a process of CO2 reduction designed from the start of each…
