Sustainable homes are no longer an alternative, but a reality. Construction companies, government and private entities are carrying out initiatives to create the housing spaces of the future. These will be more environmentally conscious, will have renewable energy and recycled or natural raw materials.

Brand new houses combine efficiency, sustainability and quality. The objective is to create properties with a reduced carbon footprint, with less consumption and wear, without neglecting design or quality. The new construction promotions of the present and the future have an orchard, solar panels, coworking spaces, thermal floors and double glazing.

What is a sustainable house?

The European law, which entered into force in 2021, which required all newly built developments to install photovoltaic panels, gave an idea of ​​the metamorphosis that the sector was going to experience. And, above all, what would be the dynamics under construction from that date.

New construction homes no longer have to contemplate the possibility of being sustainable, but rather they must be. An efficient and sustainable property is characterized by:

• Use of natural, recycled and zero-kilometer raw materials throughout the construction process.
• Renewable energies, such as solar panels or aerothermal energy, which is responsible for generating energy, through heat pumps.
• Thermal and acoustic insulation.
• Bioclimatic construction, taking into account the characteristics of the terrain and the climate to determine what materials are going to be used. This is one of the latest innovations in the sector. It is about studying the environment, location, temperature and the preferences of the owner to the maximum, to create a custom home in all aspects. In the north of Spain, for example, it will be more appropriate to build properties with wood or anti-moisture insulation and, in the south, with concrete or brick to absorb heat.
• Reduction of energy consumption, CO2 emissions, noise pollution and waste management during the construction of the new construction complex.
• The exterior of the buildings is glass. In this way, sunlight is used to the maximum, and what is known as passive heating. generating a greenhouse effect heat inside the houses.

The latest sustainable designs in the new construction market

Specialized international shows, professionals and the real estate and construction sector, in general, have focused on innovation and progress between design, avant-garde and sustainability to develop new promotions.

All the agents involved in the construction of a residential complex, whether they are workers, architects or interior designers, have had to modify their forms and construction characteristics. Transforming ordinary methods into more efficient and sustainable ones.

Brand new properties currently have some of the best materials, processes and technologies of the moment. Home automation or Smart house is one of the most amazing and practical developments for new homes. It is about creating smart homes, which reduce expenses to the maximum and increase the practicality of all the devices in the house. Such as starting to heat the oven when leaving work, putting on the air conditioning from the gym, turning off the lights from the car or raising and lowering the blinds on vacation to simulate that there is someone at home.

The control and automation are vast. From plugs, blinds, showers, lights, electrical appliances... Including this technology allows you to monitor the property from your mobile, tablet or computer. To generate efficient use of all devices and increase savings.

Something in which the bioclimatic design affects. As indicated above, he thoroughly studies all the advantages and disadvantages of the land and the house to, from there, prepare the project. The objective is to maximize efficiency through designs that collect the maximum of natural resources, such as directing the windows towards the sun, among others.

But, the most relevant of all the work are the materials used. These will largely determine all the benefits and characteristics of the houses. Biotechnological cement, stone, cork or wood stand out. They are characterized by being natural, resistant and have a longer useful life than artificial components. The main reason they are used is because of their ability to insulate thermally, without having to use toxic or synthetic foams, they support a lot of loads with little maintenance and, in addition, they regulate humidity and outside noise.

Advantages of buying a sustainable new construction home

Although the cost, a priori, is much higher than a normal property, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. The budget is higher, yes, but the savings become latent in the short term. Especially in electricity and gas bills.

But, beyond economic issues, buying or building a brand-new sustainable property is a commitment to the future, commitment to the environment, health and durability above average.

In fact, one of the main problems plaguing second-hand real estate and older buildings is Sick Building Syndrome. The World Health Organization indicates that a large number of diseases are associated with or originate in residential buildings, due to air pollution in their closed spaces.

Buying any of the properties offered on ventaobranueva.es, have the following benefits:

• Savings in every way. From water, electricity, gas and even heating, thanks to thermal insulation. These types of homes have a price of around 5-10% higher, which is amortized in 3 to 5 years.
• Passive buildings made up of windows reduce light consumption by 90%.
• Less environmental impact.
• Cost reduction, thanks to the use of local, recycled and natural raw materials.
• Increase in responsible consumption.
