As sustainability becomes increasingly important, new build homes today are often designed with energy efficiency and environmental impact in mind. Here are five ways today’s new builds are leading the way in sustainability.
Energy-Efficient Insulation
Enhanced insulation is standard in most new builds, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Advanced insulation helps homes maintain a comfortable temperature year-round while cutting down on energy consumption.
Smart Heating Systems
Modern homes often feature smart heating systems, including thermostats that can be controlled remotely. This allows homeowners to monitor and adjust energy use, minimising waste and maximising efficiency.
Solar Panel Integration
Many new homes are now constructed with provisions for solar panel installation. Solar panels can supply a portion of a home’s electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering energy bills.
Sustainable Building Materials
From responsibly sourced timber to recycled materials, builders are increasingly choosing eco-friendly options. These materials not only reduce environmental impact but also add durability, extending the lifespan of new builds.
Water-Efficient Fixtures
Low-flow faucets, shower-heads, and toilets are often standard in new builds, helping conserve water without compromising on performance. By reducing water usage,
these fixtures contribute to a more sustainable home environment.
Edgefold Homes is proud to support efforts toward more sustainable living, creating communities that align with modern environmental values. One such example is our Mount Pleasant development in Glazebrook, where sustainability is at the forefront of our design.
Not only will these homes be equipped with energy-efficient insulation and heating systems, but we’ve also prioritised green spaces and eco-friendly materials, ensuring that each property is as sustainable as it is stylish.
