The Code for Sustainable Homes provides a comprehensive measure of the sustainability of new homes, ensuring that sustainable homes deliver real improvements, in key areas such as carbon dioxide emissions and water use.

This Technical Guide sets out the requirements for the Code and the process for achieving a Code assessment. It aims to make gaining a Code assessment as simple, transparent and rigorous as possible. It also aims to inspire confidence in Code assessors, home builders, product manufacturers and consumers.

This new full-colour November 2010 edition follows a recent wide-ranging Government consultation that sought views on updating and streamlining the Code, to take account of changes to Part L of the Building Regulations, and to resolve some problems that had arisen during its use.
