Code For Sustainable Homes Courses

We run public and inhouse Code courses around the UK

The public courses are ideal for one delegate or a small number of delegates from a company - there is great value in the interactive sessions, learning from each others questions and examples, as well as the networking.

The inhouse courses are most suitable if you have more than say 8 delegates or if you would like to base the course on a live project you are working on. It can be very effective to arrange an inhouse course and invite e.g. your associates, members of a project team, sub-contractors and even open it up to friendly external companies you work with. 

Examples of our courses include:

Code Overview Courses

We cover all the key aspects of the Code for sustainable homes in a one day course. Full of practical examples, jokes about what went wrong and clear guidance on how you can avoid making the common mistakes!

Code Overview Briefings

We run 1 hour, 2 hour and 3 hour general briefings which enable you to have a basic level of understanding of the Code. These can be run as a breakfast or lunch time briefing or at anytime during the day or evening.

Code Category workshops

These are 1 hour, 2 hour and 3 hour workshops, designed to cover specific Code categories. We run workshops on all 9 categories of the Code

1. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Energy Workshop
2. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Water Workshop
3. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Materials Workshop
4. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Surface Water Runoff Workshop
5. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Waste Workshop
6. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Pollution Workshop
7. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Health and Wellbeing Workshop
8. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Management Workshop
9. Code for Sustainable Homes Course - Ecology Workshop 

Some of our clients have chosen to run 2 or 3 of these workshops in a session to cover the areas of most interest.

Our aim is to always provide lively, participatory sessions with the emphasis on real practical knowledge we gain from our ongoing work as assessors.

Examples of our Code Category workshops are:

Code for Sustainable Homes: Category 2: Water
Depending on the length of the session, we cover all or some of the following:
The performance criteria, evidence requirements, special cases, practical examples of how to reach any level from 1 to 6, examples of calculations and specifications.

By the end of this briefing you will have a clear idea of the options available to comply with this mandatory section of the code.

Code for Sustainable Homes: Category 4: Surface Water Run-Off  Course
Depending on the length of the session, we cover all or some of the following:
The performance criteria, evidence requirements, special cases, practical examples will be shown, so you can clearly see how to satisfy the mandatory requirements and gain additional credits.

Overview of relevant legislation and policy such as PPS 25: Development and Flood Risk and the Interim Code of Practice for SUDS.

Topical reports which are likely to influence the development of this category such as the Draft Flood & Water Management Bill and the consultation version of Sur 1 will be touched on and discussed.
