Introduction To The Code For Sustainable Homes (CSH)
The Code for Sustainable Homes replaces the Ecohomes Scheme (within England) developed by Building Research Establishment (BRE). It was officially launched on 13th December 2006 after introduction as a voluntary standard in England during April 2007. Consequently all new social housing projects are required to meet level 3 code requirements, however the code does not apply within Scotland and level 3 rated homes are required for public sector buildings within Northern Ireland.
