. What is the Code?
The Code measures the sustainability of a home against design categories, rating the 'whole home' as a complete package. The design categories included within the Code are:
- energy/CO2 emissions
- water
- materials
- surface water run-off
- waste
- pollution
- health and well-being
- management
- ecology
We offer a Code for Sustainable Homes Assessment service. We complete one assessment at Design Stage and a further assessment at Post Construction; both are necessary in order to achieve a Code Certificate issued by BRE.
It is important that the 5 mandatory standards in CO2 emissions - taken from the SAP*, Potable Water Consumption, Embodied impacts of Construction Materials, Surface Water Run Off, Household Waste, and Construction Site Waste Management are achieved first before any other credits can be awarded. If aiming for a code level six then Lifetime Homes standards are also mandatory.
* We can provide your SAP calcs for you, please see our SAP page for more details.
