Bio

Rochelle is an engineering graduate and has worked on construction projects both in New Zealand and around the world, primarily as a project manager. Rochelle’s interest in Green Building was sparked at the same time as the formation of the New Zealand Green Building Council in 2007. Rochelle took this passion to the Middle East where she was involved with the establishment of the Emirates Green Building Council while head of sustainability for Bovis Lend Lease (BLL).

Rochelle has been engaged with the Green Building movement for over ten years, both in New Zealand and around the world. During that time she has gathered accreditations in LEED, BREEAM, Green Star, Green Star NZ, Passive House and Homestar. Rochelle has a Master’s Degree on the subject of green building, specifically studying if there is any additional cost premium for Green Star certified buildings in Auckland, New Zealand.

Rochelle has worked closely with the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) helping them develop and implement many green building rating tools, including Homestar, NABERS and BASE. Rochelle helped the NZGBC develop and implement the Homestar residential green building rating tool.
