The Way We Live
The way we live and run our homes has a great impact on our environment and quality of life.
The house building industry has been called upon to introduce more environmentally friendly technologies into properties now being built. New homes are on average six times more efficient than existing homes generating over 60% less CO2 emissions - reducing energy bills by an average of more than £500 a year. The good news is that new homes are getting greener all the time.
Energy efficiency and the latest environmental standards are now among the most important attributes buyers want from newly built homes, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by the New Homes Marketing Board. What is clear is that the new homes building industry is working hard to achieve ‘zero carbon’ housing targets.
Code for Sustainable Homes
The Property Log Book Company is committed to working with our customers to provide homeowners with access to information, skills and resources enabling them to better manage their homes. A property with a Property Log Book will gain 3 valuable points towards the Code for Sustainable Homes.
With the house building industry being forced into using more and newer technologies to meet zero carbon homes, this creates an even greater burden of responsibility on home builders to provide home owners with more property information. Consequently, home owners will have a greater responsibility to manage their homes to maintain these high standards and by ensuring a home has an electronic Property Log Book will guarantee that any owner of a new home will have access to all the information they need, now and in the future. We are building for the future too.
