Our Sensitive Choice approved partners at Pro Clima New Zealand have produced an insightful video series outlining the key to building healthier homes for Kiwis.

In Episode 1 of “How to Build a Better Tomorrow,” Francis Mountjoy explores the secrets of a nearly 100-year-old wooden villa. Joined by Jon Davies, Education Manager at Pro Clima, they dive into the durability of these classic homes, uncovering why they’re still standing today. From draughty designs to endless firewood chopping, they highlight how these homes were built to last but often fail in comfort, energy efficiency, and health. Discover why simply insulating old houses isn’t enough and what it takes to create modern, efficient homes.

Pro Clima New Zealand marks 20 years of INTELLO®, the leading Intelligent Air Barrier for healthier, energy-efficient, and durable homes. To celebrate, Pro Clima has released a short documentary series comparing early 1900s villas with modern builds, exploring why many new homes still face issues with moisture, cold, and long-term structural problems.
