What
is the Code for Sustainable Homes?
|
A
detailed explanation of the code for sustainable
homes is illustrated further down this page.
In basic terms it is the framework of regulation that will revolutionise
the way houses and other buildings are built. Over the course of the
next four years the code will dictate what will, and what will not
be permitted in terms of construction process. The code is based on
6 levels, code 1 to code 6. Code 1 being high carbon emitting property
through to code 6 being a ‘carbon neutral’ meaning no carbon
emissions.

At
time of writing we have just entered code 4
for private builds and code 5 for public money
ventures, and I can tell you, codes 1,2 and
3 were pretty easy to adapt to in comparison
with what lies ahead. The new regulations will
bring radical reform to the whole face of construction
and the way it is approached.
What do we intend to do about it?
Our Objective:
To move with the times and provide the complete Mechanical, Electrical
and Renewable package for new build projects.
The changing nature of the construction industry proves a daunting
experience for many who have become accustom to using the same construction
and installation techniques and technologies for many years, with little
form of change through regulation.
Any kind of change within industry is often met with fierce criticism,
especially when you take into consideration:
There is
unclear definition of what exactly a code level 4, 5 or 6 house is
Ultimately
build cost will dramatically increase
The uncertainty
of whether these cost hikes will be redeemable upon sale of the property
The speed
at which these adaptations to regulation must be taken on board and
implemented
The extra
work in outsourcing new companies to be able to deliver these new
services
Lack of
clear guidance and uncertainty that is created when dealing with
multiple trades
REGARDLESS
OF ANY OF THE ABOVE THESE CHANGES ARE MANDATORY
AND ARE HAPPENING

Let’s
say you’re a builder or a developer
or even simply want to build your own house
but these changes and move to ‘zero
carbon’ are posing you a real headache.
Instead of resent the change, why not embrace it and turn it to your
advantage.
Here
at Efficient Energy Solutions Yorkshire we
can help you:
By
defining what a clear definition of code
level 4, 5, and 6 compliance for your property
will be. We can offer different solutions
through mixing and matching different technologies
to meet regulation, providing different options
and route paths for you to meet your compliance
target.
Your
build cost will almost certainly increase due
to extra materials required. However, through
our in depth knowledge and established contacts
we are able to source the best quality, or
best value components depending on specification
Now
undoubtedly the build cost will increase so
it is only fair that a potential tenant can
expect to pay more for the property. This is
especially so when considering all the extra
whistles and bells they get in the package.
After all these whistles and bells will equate
to energy bills resembling a fraction of those
to be experienced in an older property, effectively
redeeming the initial extra upfront cost. An
investment. Not to mention the USP of a brand
new energy efficient property.
Through
our turn key design consultancy and installation
service we are able to take the stress of the
build and the worry of the compliance with
new regulation away from you the customer.
This frees up your time and enables you concentrate
on other tasks and future projects.
Different
from most contracting companies when entering
into a contract with Eesy ltd we offer three
specialist trades. Electrical, Mechanical and
Renewable. We offer these trades through three
separate companies respectively. These three
companies are all owned and ran by the same
group of directors.
We operate throughout the same offices. This means that because these
three trades are in fact the same body of people and in constant contact
and discussion about your job the result is clockwork! All the benefits
of multiple skilled tradesmen, while still dealing with just one main
contractor Eesy ltd. The two subsequent sub contractors and sister
companies are H & C Electrical and H & C Mechanical & Electrical.
The facts are simple. For a seamless project from design through to
completion and certification incorporating:
Energy
Efficient Technologies

Mechanical contracting works
Get in touch via phone or email. Someone will be happy to assist at
every stage
Code levels will be achieved by scoring points in different
categories. Here are a few facts about the code and how the points
system will operate, alternatively the official guides are available
at the bottom of the page.
