The Code uses a 1 to 6 star rating system to communicate the overall sustainability performance of a new home (1 is poor and 6 is excellent). The Code sets minimum standards for energy and water use at each level . We will build to the level 4 standard.
The Code for sustainable homes covers nine categories of sustainable design including:
