What is the goal of the Code for Sustainable Homes?

• A. Setting standards for environmental performance of new homes.
• B. Providing discounts on energy bills.
• C. Outlining building insurance requirements.
• D. Regulating water supply pricing.

Answer: (A)

The aim is to raise the sustainability of new homes by establishing performance standards across key environmental criteria. The Code for Sustainable Homes sets measurable requirements for energy efficiency, water use, materials, and indoor environment, guiding design and construction to achieve higher environmental performance. That focus on environmental standards is what makes this option the best fit. The other descriptions describe financial incentives, insurance requirements, or pricing regulations, which are not the code’s purpose.
