Energy Efficiency and new builds – read the report*

According to the Home Builders Federation ‘Watt a Save’* report on the energy efficiency of new build homes, new build homebuyers are saving over £400 million* a year in energy bills, as well as collectively reducing carbon emissions by over 500,000 tonnes. The average new build homebuyer saves £135* a month on energy bills, amounting to more than £1,600 a year, compared with purchasers of equivalent older properties. This saving rises to over £180 per month for purchasers of houses, rather than flats or bungalows, totalling £2,200 a year.
