According to new research from the Home Builders Federation, new builds can save owners up to \u00a3629 a year on energy bills<\/h2>\n

The \u2018You\u2019ve Got the Power\u2019 report <\/a>found that the new\u00a0builds in England and Wales were significantly more energy efficient<\/a> than their predecessors.<\/p>\n

According to Energy Performance Certificate<\/a> data, more than eight out of ten new builds have the top A or B rating for energy efficiency, compared with just 2.2% of existing properties.<\/p>\n

The government data also highlighted that as a result, new builds were using on average 103kWh\/m2\u00a0worth of energy, compared with an average of 294kWh\/m2\u00a0for existing homes.<\/p>\n

This means that new build homeowners will spend on average \u00a3443.30 a year on energy, while owners of older homes will spend \u00a31,072 a year.<\/p>\n

The report concluded: \u2018With 96% of new builds rated A-C for energy efficiency, homeowners of new build homes are able to rely on their homes being warmer, healthier, better for the environment and, most importantly, cheaper to run than older properties.<\/p>\n

\u2018Thanks to the modern technology and materials used by the home building industry, homeowners of new builds can save more than \u00a3600 of their annual utility bills while enjoying living in a comfortable well-designed home that meets the demands of modern-day living\u2019<\/p>\n

Stewart Baseley, executive chairman of the Home Builders Federation<\/a> (HBF), added: \u201cToday\u2019s new homes are significantly more energy efficient than their predecessors, delivering huge benefits both for their owners and the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOwners are saving hundreds of pounds a year in energy bills due to the modern design of their homes and the materials used to construct them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith energy bills expected to increase further, households will continue to reap the financial rewards in the future, allowing families to spend more of their money on the things they want, instead of simply keeping warm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith housebuilders\u2019 ongoing investment in innovation, it is clear that the industry is committed to driving yet more savings for homeowners.\u201d<\/p>\n
