Code for Sustainable Homes

The Code for Sustainable Homes gives an indication of the overall sustainability of a dwelling. The CSHs differs from SAP calculations by taking into account the type and sustainability across various elements, such as:

- Materials used to build the dwelling
- Water consumption
- Refuse waste
- Recycling
- Builders waste
- Construction management and the site ecology

Plans and proposals are assessed at the design stage to give you an indiction of the code level you can achieve and adjustments you can make. This is followed up by a post construction review and the issue of a Code Completion Certificate by the BRE.

Benefits of Applying the Code

If you are a house builder or developer the CSH assessment may be required at the design stage of your project. The benefits of applying the CSH on your build could include:

- Helps to meet the specific planning or client requirements for the sustainability of a development
- Increased saleability (most Housing Associations require a CSH level 3 assessment)
- Good PR for your build project (environmentally friendly, seen as 'going green')
- Closer auditing of the build process (high levels of documentation and audit trails for inspection purposes)

Code Levels

Planning Authorities are increasingly applying conditions for new dwellings to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes standards - the standards take a stepped approach and work on a level basis:

Level 1 - 10% improvements against a standard dwelling
Level 2 - 18% improvements against a standard dwelling
Level 3 - 25% improvements against a standard dwelling
Level 4 - 44% improvements against a standard dwelling
Level 5 - 100% improvement against a standard dwelling
Level 6 - True zero carbon homes, including cooking and electrical appliances.

Most Planning Authorities and Housing Associations require a minimum standard of Code level 3
