THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING METHODS

As we work towards the Government’s target of Net Zero by 2030 the importance of building sustainable new homes is ever more important.

A recent study by CBRE looking at the cost effectiveness of new homes, showed that modern building methods are more energy efficient than their older counterparts and that new homes built sustainably are future proofed against the new upcoming legislation on the road towards Net Zero.

Home owners are becoming a lot more conscious of their homes “Green Credentials” and are now looking carefully at the energy performance of their homes and how that can help reduce the energy bills as prices continue to rise.

Landlords too will have to ensure their properties meet the energy efficiency standards of the new builds from 2025.

Sustainable new developments are being built by developers such as Human Nature who are looking to reimagine “a more optimistic vision of what it is to live well in the 21^st century” according to chief executive Jonathan Smales.  Our developments aim to be the lowest carbon and most sustainable developments in the UK, using sustainable engineered timber, powered by 100% renewal electricity and heated by ground and water source heat pumps.

We have the technology to build sustainably and the government is now looking to industry to help inform upcoming consultations on 2025 Future Homes Standard.
