Code For Sustainable Homes

Energy Calculations Limited provides Code assessment. We offer a comprehensive service. We guide you through the process from design stage to sign off.

What Code means:-

Code for Sustainable Homes is an environmental assessment rating method for new homes which assesses environmental performance in a two stage process (Design stage and Post Construction) using objective criteria and verification. It has a scale of level 1 to level 6 of achievement, level 6 being the highest.

The Code sets minimum standards for energy and water at each level. The rating a home receives depends on how it measures up in the nine categories.

  • Energy and CO2
  • Water
  • Materials
  • Surface Water Run–off
  • Waste
  • Pollution
  • Health and Well-being
  • Management
  • Ecology

As a supplement to carrying out the Code assessment we can also provide the “low / zero carbon” report for addition credits.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require advice or assistance.
