We have been walking alongside Raukawa since 2020 helping to define where Raukawa is best placed to take future action to support the enhancement and wellbeing of Ngā Uri o Te Poari Matua o Raukawa and the strengthening of Raukawa kaitiakitanga o Te Taiao.

As part of this work we helped launched the Raukawa Energy Innovation Project.

In the largest project to its kind, we sought to install 840 temperature sensors in 420 homes to monitor cold exposure during the winter months. For the first time, we secured real world data demonstrating what is required to lift these homes to World Health Organisation standards. Our goal is to prototype different energy intervention models for residential power use, exploring and identifying which model is the most effective in creating positive outcomes for whānau.
