lived in a house at lincoln canterbury when at uni. No insulation , no heating., no double glazing. People who built it must have mistook NZ for Fiji.

No problem for those who went against mainstream and designed and built their house for the conditions rather than wishful thinking of eternal summer.

You are correct in building the home correctly with living areas facing north and large glass areas taking natural heat from the sun and a heat pump or fire to keep the home above due point all night. Double glazing is not required just good thermal drapes. We don't even know how long double glazing will last with our UV.
We are seeing very sick homes due to being sealed up with double glazing and no natural ventilation.
Don't ever buy a home with living areas facing south

Thermal drapes are never a substitute for double glazing and no the UV will not break the double glazing and the UV in New Zealand is NOT unique, there are many places around the world in which double glazing is standard for decades.
Would you wear a fur coat with holes like sieve? Why would want this single glazing nonsense???? Sadly a shocking number of people have a totally deluded view of New Zealand thinking physics, thermodynamic and such facts are not applicable here, wind and weather and UV is different here than elsewhere. Thermal drapes instead of double glazing??? Just deluded and ridiculous.....

It's actually climate change, and please learn the difference between climate and weather.

Yes, when it stopped warming they had to keep the gravy train rolling with a new name. Climate change is somehow new and man made because it never used to happen....

Yup. Its only to be referred to as "weather" when it gets really cold. Warm spells are "Climate change". You must get the catechism right!

Transpower operate the grid from the location of power generation to one of 174 grid exit points; the local lines company are then responsible for connecting from the exit points to to each customer.
