WHAT IS THE CODE?

The Code is an environmental assessment developed by Building Research Establishment (BRE) using a 1 to 6 rating system to communicate the overall sustainability of new homes.The code rates the home as a complete package, from the design stage to completion awarding credits in the following categories:

  • Energy and CO2 emissions
  • Water
  • Materials
  • Surface water run off
  • Waste
  • Pollution
  • Health and well being
  • Management
  • Ecology
The Code will provide valuable information to home buyers, and offers builders a tool with which to differentiate themselves in sustainability terms.

 
 

Thermography

Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to see and measure thermal energy emitted from an object.

In the building sector it is ideal for all householders, housing associations, local authorities, property owners and developers that are involved in planning maintenance, verifying insulation and making building improvements.

A thermal image makes it easier to see where insulation is missing or air is leaking out of a building, leaks in plumbing systems and flat roofs, the build up of damp or moisture in a building.

Our thermography services start from a little as £450 plus VAT per day. Camera hire starts from £500 plus VAT per week - minimum hire is 3 days.
