13.2. Appendix: Code <strong>for</strong> Sustainable Homes (CSH)<br />
The Code <strong>for</strong> Sustainable Homes became m<strong>and</strong>atory from May 2008 <strong>for</strong> all new self<br />
contained dwellings in Engl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Wales <strong>and</strong> was based on the BREEAM scheme<br />
“EcoHomes”. The Technical Guide has been drafted by the BREEAM Centre at the Building<br />
Research Establishment (BRE) under contract to the Department <strong>for</strong> Communities <strong>and</strong> Local<br />
Government.<br />
The following table illustrates the sub-issues assessed within CSH (Source: Code <strong>for</strong><br />
Sustainable Homes: Technical Guide May 2009, Version 2; ed. Department <strong>for</strong> Communities<br />
<strong>and</strong> Local Government, 2009<br />

In November 2010, the CSH was revised. The in-depth analysis of this study is based on<br />
CSH, Edition 2009.<br />
