The aim of the Kingspan Code for Sustainable Homes Assurance Scheme is to disseminate the company’s working knowledge of meeting the demands of the new Government Code. The bespoke service could prove crucial to organisations looking to achieve a specific level when building new properties.

Kingspan Potton’s first hand experience of meeting the Code requirements was developed through creating the first Level 6 home, the Kingspan Lighthouse, at BRE’s Innovation Park in Watford.

The scheme offers a service from pre-design stage and addresses all areas of the Code, incorporating aspects such as air-tightness, waste recovery levels and CO₂ emissions. Support can be provided through the design, construction and post-construction stages, including the post-completion certification process.

The scheme is managed by a specially created ‘Building Performance Services Team’, comprising key team members behind the Kingspan Lighthouse project.

The level of service provided by the team will be assessed according to each individual project, with the service offering face to face meetings, site visits, telephone advice and literature created to guide organisations through the process of meeting the Code requirements, step by step.
