CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets

Introduced in 2006, The Code for Sustainable Homes is part of the growing body of legislation aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Using a rating system of one to six stars to depict the overall sustainable performance of a house, with one star being above the standard of the current Building Regulations.

With the majority of our clients being from the construction or new build industry, the recognition and adherence to the code for sustainable homes is an essential part of our "best practice".
