Code for Sustainable Homes
The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) is a form of environmental assessment and applies to new build residential developments. The Code assesses each building on a number of environmental principles (including energy efficiency, water efficiency and waste management) and awards points against each of these. At the end of the process an overall rating level of between 1 and 6 is awarded. Each level represents an increasing reduction of carbon emissions, for example, the emission rates required to reach CSH Level 3 requires a 25% reduction from the AD L1A 2010 TER (target emission rate) and Level 6 requires zero net carbon emissions.
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)
BREEAM is the most widely recognised method of assessing the environmental quality of building design for non residential developments. A BREEAM assessment reviews buildings against a number of environmental principles (including energy, land use and pollution) and awards points against each principle. These points then convert to give an overall rating at the end of the process (ranging from Pass to Outstanding). BREEAM has a series of schemes including public buildings, commercial buildings and multi-residential.
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure)
SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) is a government-defined process in accordance with the Part L Building Regulations (Section 6 in Scotland). It is a calculation of the energy performance for all new dwelling/s. Since April 2006, SAP calculations have been a requirement for all new-build structures for residential purposes.
SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model)
Since April 2006, all new-build structures for commercial purposes, and some commercial extensions, have required an SBEM calculation, in order to comply with Building Regulations.
Energy Performance Certificates
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a certificate which demonstrates the energy rating of a building. It derives from the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) which applies throughout the UK. Since 4th January 2009 all existing commercial buildings require a Commercial EPC when the building is sold or rented. For new build houses an EPC has been a requirement since April 2008.
