ANFAPA supports Energy Efficiency

In Law / of June , on urgent measures to promote building rehabilitation activity in the context of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, in its article , the “Principle of energy efficiency first” is developed, which establishes that energy efficiency solutions “must be taken into account as a priority” and that they will be considered as such “particularly those aimed at reducing and managing demand.” The important European, and therefore Spanish, objective of reducing CO emissions into the atmosphere requires action, in addition to other sectors, to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings. In Spain, .% of the housing stock is prior to , the date on which the first thermal insulation measures in buildings were made mandatory. This represents approximately . million residential buildings and about .  

Million main homes, which need to improve their energy efficiency because, as we mentioned, their insulation is outdated or non-existent. In other words, in addition to the age and deficiencies in the construction of our housing stock, we must add the lack of proper thermal insulation to prevent energy losses that will contribute to excessive energy consumption. anfapa-construction It is proven that, by placing an adequate insulation system, the energy Phone Number List consumption and CO emissions of buildings are considerably reduced. The lack of insulation makes it much more difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature inside, whether it is hot in winter or cool in summer. It is a priority that the construction solutions for insulation of the building envelope are capable of responding to the high energy efficiency demands that are currently required.

  

Improving the efficiency of our buildings goes through three milestones, the improvement of the building envelope, the provision of high-efficiency equipment and finally the implementation of renewable energy production systems. For this reason we are going to call them phases, since it is necessary to observe a specific order of execution. The first phase is to provide the building with a very efficient envelope, which keeps the building isolated from external weather conditions. This will provide us with the first estimate of the energy necessary to achieve the desired level of thermal comfort. When treating the envelope we must act both on the opaque parts of the façade and on its gaps, on the roof, and even on the floor depending on the type of building in question. ed.
