Code for Sustainable Homes
On the 27th February 2008 the government confirmed a mandatory rating against the Code will be implemented for new homes from the 1st May 2008.
The Code measures the sustainability of a new home against categories of sustainable design, rating the ‘whole home' as a complete package. The code uses a 1 to 6 star rating system to communicate the overall sustainability performance of a new home. The Code sets minimum standards for energy and water use at each level and, within England, replaces the ecohomes scheme, developed by the Building Research Establishment (BRE).
Smith Smalley are proud to announce that we are now fully accredited to provide Code for Sustainable Homes assessments for its residential clients, helping to achieve government targets in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and increasing the sustainability of new homes.
