Code for Sustainable Homes

The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) is a wide ranging form of environmental assessment which is applicable to new build residential developments. The code assesses each building on a number of environmental principles. Points are awarded against each principle with an overall level between 1 and 6 given at the end of the process. Code for Sustainable Homes pre-assessments are often required at planning stage and FES has a track record of producing reports that help our clients gain planning permission.
