The document summarizes the Home Quality Mark (HQM) scheme in the UK, which aims to differentiate new homes based on quality, sustainability, and cost of living factors. The HQM scheme involves registering homes that meet minimum requirements across various criteria like construction quality, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. Homes can then receive 1-3 star ratings depending on how many additional standards they meet. Over 16,000 homes have registered for the voluntary HQM beta scheme so far. The criteria cover issues like reducing flood risk, optimizing ventilation, managing overheating risk, ensuring quality construction processes, and providing homeowner support.
