With a brand new home, the plastering may not be fully dried and would still 'sweat' although not usually for more than a few days. If you have just moved in and are now turning up the heat indoors, that may be causing it to sweat.

Ideally, the builder should not allow occupancy until the house has 'settled'. We took occupation of a new home a few years back and had dampness on the windows for about a week until things settled down/dried out.
