Approved Ultra-Low Emission Burners (ULEBs)
If you live in Airshed B2 (Stoke) or C (Nelson North), and are either building a new home or do not have an existing enclosed wood burner, you can apply for a building consent to install an ultra-low emission wood burner (ULEB).
ULEBs (Ultra-Low Emission Biomass burners) produce significantly fewer emissions compared to older burners. These ULEBs meet stringent environmental standards for particle emissions, making them a cleaner and more sustainable option for heating.
ULEBs are authorised to be installed under proposed rule AQr.26A of Nelson City Council’s Air Quality Plan.
NOTE: There is a limit to the amount of new ULEB that can be consented in Airshed B2 (999) and Airshed C (599), in order to manage the cumulative impact on air quality. Also, ULEBs are required to be installed within 12 months of a building consent being issued for the appliance.

Notes and conditions
Emissions = this must be no more than 38 milligrams per megajoule.
P.E.F. = Particulate Emission Factor. This requirement is measured differently for ultra-low emission burners. To qualify for this list emissions are measured under strict real-life operating conditions and must be no more than 0.5 grams of total suspended particulate per kilogram of fuel burned.
S.H.E. = Space Heating Efficiency. This is a measure of how much of the available energy in the fuel source is generated as heat, and must be 65% or greater.
IB = In-built
FS = Freestanding
