Sustainable Homes
The Code for Sustainable Homes (the Code) is an environmental assessment method for rating and certifying the performance of new homes. It is a national standard for use in the design and construction of new homes with a view to encouraging continuous improvement in sustainable home building.  It was launched by the Government in December 2006, became operational in April 2007 and replaces EcoHomes as the National standard to be used in the design and construction of new-build residential properties in England and Wales.

The Code for Sustainable Homes covers nine categories of sustainable design:

  1. Energy & CO2 emissions
  2. Water
  3. Materials
  4. Surface water run-off
  5. Waste
  6. Pollution
  7. Health & well-being
  8. Management
  9. Ecology

Each category includes a number of environmental issues and each issue is a source of environmental impact which can be assessed against a performance target and awarded one or more credits. Performance targets are more demanding than the minimum standard needed to satisfy Building Regulations.

The code uses a rating system from Level 1 to 6, Level 6 being the highest level of Sustainability and translates to a Zero Carbon Home. The results of the Code Assessment are recorded on a certificate which is assigned to the dwelling. The assessment contains two stages; a Design Stage Assessment leading to an Interim Certificate and a Post Construction Assessment leading to a Final Certificate
