Video: Code for Sustainable Homes – Management

The programme begins with an overview of the category's four sections: Home User Guide (M1), Considerate Constructors Scheme (M2), Construction Site Impacts (M3) and Security (M4).

Our guest, Andrew Eagles, from Sustainable Homes runs through the key points of the four sections and explains the logic behind each. A graphic sequence demonstrates how carbon dioxide emissions are calculated for just one site package – the installation of windows by a team of four fitters.

We run through the goal of Best Practice schemes and explain the role of Architectural Liaison Officers (ALOs) and Crime Prevention Design Advisors (CPDAs).
