● meeting the energy requirements

- full zero carbon incl. all energy used

for small power

(SAP calculation excludes small power)

- very high building fabric performance

- low and zero carbon technologies

● meeting the water requirements

- lowest flow showers

- lowest capacity WC

- all WC flushing water from grey water

code assessment

● some credits should be the same across the whole development site

● some are specific to individual dwelling types

whole site

e.g.

flood risk

ecology

waste management

individual dwelling type

e.g.

daylighting

home office

cycle storage

whole site issues

other examples of issues that can be assessed over the whole site:

● ecology

● flood risk

● water run-off

● considerate constructors

● site waste management

● construction site impacts dagenham library and housing by LCE Architects in association with Bisset Adams

codes for each dwelling

● for dwellings to be of the same code dwelling type they must be identical in every aspect that affects the code

code dwelling type

same code dwelling type means the

same in all these aspects:

● SAP rating

● lighting

● day lighting

● acoustic performance

● materials used

● water features

● cycle storage facilities

● etc, etc
