Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH)
What is CSH?
The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) is driving improvement in building practice by providing a comprehensive measure of housing sustainability. The aim of the Code for Sustainable Homes is to limit the environmental impact of new build dwellings, by ensuring real improvements in key areas such as carbon dioxide emissions, waste, water usage and environmental impact. The role of a CSH assessor is to accurately evaluate new build dwellings against a range of criteria in order to generate a Code for Sustainable Homes rating and report.

Training Courses
Stroma offers CLG-approved CSH Assessor training and CSH Designer Awareness training:
CSH Assessor Training
This 3 day training course covers the requirements of the CSH in detail, exploring each section of the technical guidance and instructing candidates on how to accurately produce a Code assessment using our free user-friendly software. To qualify as an assessor, candidates must pass a multiple choice examination. This can be sat either on the final day of the course or on subsequent examination dates scheduled by Stroma.
Qualified assessors are invited to join the Stroma certification scheme. Our experienced Code technical team are available to support assessors with lodgements and deal with enquiries.
CSH Designer Awareness
This 2 day course provides candidates with a detailed overview of the requirements of the Code and its technical guidance. This knowledge can be applied throughout the design process to assist in the achievement of the required rating. The Designer Awareness course does not include an examination and candidates will not be qualified to conduct CSH assessments.
