What makes new build houses energy efficient?

Imagine a home that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, while slashing your energy bills and minimising your environmental impact. That’s the reality of today’s newly built houses.

According to the Home Builder’s Federation ‘Watt a Save’ report, a staggering 85% of newly built homes in the year to March 2023 were rated A or B for energy performance. In contrast, only 4% of existing properties achieved these ratings, illustrating the vast difference in standards. This superior energy efficiency translates a hefty £135 per month on energy bills for new build owners compared to residents of older properties, on average.
