“We are incredibly proud to have placed third in this ranking, which serves as a recognition of our efforts to build more sustainably and efficiently. While building homes to this efficiency standard requires added investment, ClwydAlyn sees it as an investment in the future, benefiting not only residents during the cost-of-living crisis but also the environment in the face of the climate emergency.

“We know that more and more residents are being severely impacted by rising heating bills, driving fuel poverty, so it is important that we take action to ensure all homes achieve the highest possible efficiency rating to prevent heat loss and reduce fuel costs.

“We believe that everyone should have access to a good home that they can afford to heat, and making homes as efficient as possible in retaining heat is a huge step in achieving this.

“Sustainable, energy-efficient homes should be core to the housing sector, so we are pleased to be seen as an example of a housing association taking positive steps towards building for the future”.
