Code for Sustainable Homes

Code for Sustainable Homes

Many Planning Departments are now specifying that Planning Applications should have an Energy Statement as well as a SAP/SBEM Calculation. Often the Energy Statement should demonstrate that a set percentage contribution to the building’s energy requirements should be met by renewable sources.

Ashby Energy Assessors can produce detailed Energy Statements showing which renewable technologies have been considered and what the overall reductions in carbon emissions would be if renewables were utilised within the building. Our report will comply with the latest regulations and will show the predicted energy usage in a user-friendly format which is acceptable to your Planning Officer.

Future Homes Standards

By Kamil Hamela • 10 Apr, 2024
The government have recently closed the Future Homes and Building Standards 2023 consultation on 27 March 2024. There have been two consultations into the Future Homes Standard, both of which proposed a draft of measures for new and existing homes. Most of the key takeaways from the recent consultation are in regard to new homes and non-domestic buildings. A small number of sections are also relevant to existing buildings, such as Material Change of Use buildings. The standards will build upon the recently introduced changes to Approved Document Part L 2021. This consultation provides a glimpse into what we can expect from later consultations, regarding the Future Homes Standards to be implemented in 2025.
