Quick Answer
New construction homes are typically more energy efficient than older resale homes because they’re built to modern energy standards and incorporate newer energy-saving technology. Ryan Homes’ BuiltSmart® program includes features such as smart insulation, high-performance HVAC systems and ENERGY STAR®-rated appliances that are designed to reduce energy use and lower monthly bills. That means you can spend less on utilities and more on what matters most to you.
Built In Performance and Savings
One of the biggest advantages of buying a new construction home is energy efficiency. Unlike many resale homes, today’s new homes are built to meet modern energy standards and include features designed to help reduce energy use and improve comfort.
Ryan Homes’ BuiltSmart® program includes energy-saving features such as advanced insulation, high-performance windows, efficient heating and cooling systems, and construction techniques that help keep conditioned air inside where it belongs. These features work together to maintain a more comfortable indoor environment while helping homeowners save on monthly utility costs.
Many older resale homes were built before current energy codes existed, which can lead to higher heating and cooling costs, drafts, and aging systems that require updates over time.
If you’re comparing a new construction home to a resale home, energy efficiency is an important factor to consider. A new Ryan Homes BuiltSmart® home is designed to deliver comfort, performance, and peace of mind from day one.
