Code for sustainable homes
What is the Code for Sustainable Homes?
The Code for Sustainable Homes is a single national standard, offering a guide to key elements of the design and construction of sustainable homes.
More than a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions come from the energy used to heat, light and run a home. The Government’s ambition is that the Code for Sustainable Homes should drive a change in homebuilding practice, ensuring that future housing stock meets Britain’s needs and protects the environment.
Our guide to the Code for Sustainable Homes – downloadable from the link below - takes a look at the Code, how it works and what the benefits of it are.
