What is the purpose of the energy certificate imposed from Europe?
The purpose is for homes in Spain to be as efficient as possible but the result of the energy rating of a home does not entail any type of consequence, that is, it is an informative and non-binding document. The objective of the government and Europe is to ensure that those homes with the worst energy rating are subjected to reforms to improve their energy efficiency. The horizon is that all the homes that are built as of December 31, 2020 have almost zero energy consumption, as established in the additional provision of Royal Decree 235/2013, of April 5. This royal decree seeks to know the current state of the housing stock in Spain to know what measures to establish to improve its efficiency.
Is there help to undertake these improvements?
The government has launched a series of grants for communities of owners, groupings of communities or sole proprietors of residential buildings.
What key measures are there to improve energy savings at home?
- Active measures: These are measures that improve the efficiency of heating, cooling or lighting systems; such as replacing the boiler with a condensing one, using a heat pump in refrigeration appliances or installing energy-saving lamps.
- Passive measures: These are the measures that reduce the energy demand of the building; such as: increasing the insulation of the facade, replacing the windows with double-glazed ones, installing solar protection, etc.
