This document sets out a framework for describing the potential impact of choices on sustainable development made regarding building materials, construction methods and equipment and people, operating energy, water services and sanitary systems for a house. It outlines a performance based decision making approach to assessing such impacts.

This document is intended for use in the evaluation of houses that may be separated from, or linked horizontally, to another house(s). Where houses are linked, and some sharing of services occurs, performance may be assessed both for individual houses, as well as a group of houses that are linked together.

This standard covers the house as constructed including permanent services and finishings. It does not cover:

1. the use of the land for houses;

2. the design and operation of the environment within which houses are located;

3. household waste for the use stage; and

4. moveable contents within homes.
