"About 30% of our homes suffer from problems associated with being damp, and most of our houses have mould. Dehumidifiers and ventilation systems are used to fix the symptoms of the problem, but not the source of the problem itself. Dampness makes rooms unhealthy to live in. In a lot of cases though, it is also a problem that is relatively cheap and easy to identify and fix."

"Compared to housing in other OECD countries, New Zealand housing is inadequately heated and unusually cold. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends a minimum indoor temperature of 18 degrees celsius. New Zealand houses are cold. The temperature in almost a third of New Zealand homes is below what the WHO recommend."
