As we all become increasingly aware of the impact our homes have on the environment and our energy bills, it's important that new homes are built with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. Stewart Milne Homes understands this, and their latest designs demonstrate a range of features and technologies that can make a real difference.
For example, all of our homes feature high levels of fabric insulation, using low embodied carbon timber frame construction and detailing, to reduce heat loss, helping to keep warmth inside during the winter and keeping homes cool in the summer. Energy efficient double glazing and doors, zonal heating controls, high efficiency boilers, LED lighting and low energy appliances, also play a big part in reducing energy use and costs to homeowners.
The company has also embraced renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels and hybrid air source heat pumps. These features not only help to save on energy bills, but also reduce the carbon footprint of each home.
All homes have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) that rates each home on its energy efficiency. This gives buyers the information they need to make informed decisions about their purchase and provides them with a clear understanding of the potential regulated energy saving costs associated with their new home.
Home Builders Federation has published its updated Watt a Save report (July), citing the latest analysis of government Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data. This reveals that buyers of new build houses could save an average of £2,200 a year on energy bills, a saving of over £180 per month. The report also shows that, according to government data for the year to March 2023, 85% of new build homes had an A or B (EPC) rating. Less than 4% of existing homes reached these high energy efficiency levels.
Stewart Milne Homes' commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability is clear in their newest house designs, which demonstrate that modern, stylish homes can be built with sustainability in mind. The company's focus on education and transparency also sets them apart, giving buyers the confidence they need to make the right choices for themselves and the planet.
Overall, if you're looking for a new home that not only looks great, but is also energy-efficient and sustainable, Stewart Milne Homes should be at the top of your list.
