Code for Sustainable Homes has been Abolished

Code for Sustainable Homes was abolished by the Government on 25 March 2015.

Elements of the code will now be incorporated into building regulations, which will be retitled as “the new national technical standards” and set at the equivalent of Code level 4. BRE will continue to certify schemes under the code and the body launched a new national quality mark for consumers to help them understand the code at the Ecobuild conference in earlier this year.
