Here you will find our review of this strategy and its impact on the sector.<\/p>\n<p>In case you still don&#8217;t know us, let me introduce our studio: we&#8217;re ERA architects, the English speaking green architecture studio to call in Barcelona.<br \/>\nActually, I&#8217;m Esther Rovira, an architect in Barcelona and a passive house designer for new sustainable builds and big green renovations in Barcelona and Catalonia.<br \/>\nIn this post you&#8217;ll find all the essentials from our professional point of view.<br \/>\nI hope this helps you!<\/p>\n<p>I hope this post helps you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the European commission in Brussels 2018, a roadmap was defined to achieve certain objectives in the fight against climate change.<br \/>\nWe have summarized the roadmap for the Architecture and Construction sector in 5 points:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Reality<\/strong><br \/>\nThe air conditioning of buildings takes the highest percentage of energy consumption in the EU, with 40% of the total in 2015.<br \/>\n80% of the homes of 2050 already exist today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) The key<\/strong><br \/>\nInsulating existing buildings will play a key role in decarbonisation by reducing the energy consumed in air conditioning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Other criteria that will help moderate energy consumption<\/strong><br \/>\nThey will also help moderate energy consumption:<br \/>\n\u2013 the improvement of more efficient products and appliances<br \/>\n\u2013 smarter buildings<br \/>\n\u2013 The change in people&#8217;s consumption model will help moderate energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Home energy trends<\/strong><br \/>\nThere will be a fuel shift towards renewable heating: electricity, district heating (produced from renewable sources), renewable gas and solar thermal energy).<br \/>\nAlso noteworthy are biogas, hydrogen (up to a certain proportion) or e-methane produced from renewable electricity are renewable gaseous fuels that could play a role in existing buildings without changing the current transmission \/ distribution network and the type of appliances. .<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Integrated Approach<\/strong><br \/>\nAn integrated approach and coherence in all relevant policies will be necessary for the modernization of the built environment and the mobilization of all actors.<br \/>\nThis is a sine qua non condition for involving citizens and businesses in the necessary renovation activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>My professional recommendation:<\/strong><br \/>\nIt seems that Europe is going to force sooner or later to isolate all existing buildings.<br \/>\nRight now you can find aid for the rehabilitation of buildings to insulate them thermally.<br \/>\nBut it is very likely that in 5-10 years it will be forced and without help.<br \/>\nIf you are an owner, I recommend that you take advantage of the current aid that covers up to 45% of the cost (there are also discounts on personal income tax and IBI).<br \/>\nHaving assets that are out of date with future regulations will be a burden for the owners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You may also be interested in:<\/strong><br \/>\nOur other post: <a class=\"waffle-rich-text-link\" href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\/en\/eifs-facade\/\">EIFS facade<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hope this is helpful!<br \/>\nBest of luck on this adventure.<br \/>\nSee you on the next post,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/estherrovira\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Esther Rovira Raurell<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\/estudio\/\">Architect in Barcelona<\/a>\u00a0#<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitectes.cat\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">COAC 44234-8<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.passivhausplaner.eu\/index.php?lang=en-GB\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Passive House Designer<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Affiliated to the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/passivehouse-international.org\/memberSearchDetails.php?member_id=9577\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Passive House Association<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Founder of\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\/es\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ERA architects<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>P.S.
