Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October

2012 on energy efficiency (EED)

“ARTICLE 4: Building renovation: Member States shall establish a long-term

strategy for mobilising investment in the renovation of the national stock of
residential and commercial buildings, both public and private. This strategy shall
encompass:

a) an overview of the national building stock based, as appropriate, on statistical sampling;

(b) identification of cost-effective approaches to renovations relevant to the building type and climatic zone;

(c) policies and measures to stimulate cost-effective deep renovations of buildings, including staged deep
renovations;

(d) a forward-looking perspective to guide investment decisions of individuals, the construction industry and
financial institutions;

(e) an evidence-based estimate of expected energy savings and wider benefits.”

• Raising awareness in favor of rehabilitation.
• Development of business strategies.

• Administrative measures.
• Measures to improve funding.
3.3. MEASURES NOT INCLUDED IN ERESEE 2014, BUT IMPLEMEMTED BETWEEN 2014 AND 2017.

4. ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES.

... nearly 60% of Spanish dwellings (about 13.8 million homes) were built before the first
regulation that required minimum energy efficiency standards in Spain (NBE 79, 1979) ...

4. ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES.

The document includes a series of structural challenges for the development of energy rehabilitation in
Spain. Some of them were already identified in the diagnosis made for ERESEE 2014 and that still persist;
some others have arisen in its subsequent development from 2014. These structural challenges are analyzed
in order to draw conclusions for designing new and optimal measures to tackle them.

4.1. COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEMS AFFECTING THE RESIDENTIAL STOCK.

4.2. FACTORS RELATED TO CLIMATOLOGY.
4.3. AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING BY THE HOUSEHOLDS.
4.4. CONSIDERATIONS ON VULNERABLE CONSUMERS AND ENERGY POVERTY.
4.5. FACTORS RELATED TO BUILDINGS’ OWNERSHIP.
4.6. CULTURAL BARRIERS AND LACK OF PREDISPOSITION TO MAKE WORKS IN COLLECTIVE BUILDINGS.
4.7. DIVERSITY OF INTERNAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS. NEED TO CONSIDER THEM IN A TERRITORIAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THE STRATEGY.
4.8. ABSENCE OF STRATEGIC TERRITORIAL FRAMEWORKS IN ORDER TO MAKE A COMPREHENSIVE
PLANNING STRATEGY OF URBAN REGENERATION AND REHABILITATION.
4.9. POTENTIAL OF RENEWABLE ENERGIES IN THE BUILDING SECTOR IN SPAIN.

BUILDING SECTOR IN SPAIN (ERESEE 2014, 2017 & 2020).

• Conservation status: 1,8 million of dwellings in bad conditions.

• Accesibility: 3,4 millons of dwellings in buildings with 4 or more storeys without lift.
• Energy Efficiency: Nearly 60% of the housing stock was built before the first Enery
Efficiency regulation (dating from 1979).

5. PROPOSAL FOR NEW MEASURES AND AREAS OF ACTION.

ERESEE 2017 proposes a series of lines of action that include a set of short, medium and long
term measures to promote rehabilitation and energy efficiency in building.

• 5.1. STRUCTURING AXIS (SECTORAL, VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL COORDINATION).

• 5.2. INFORMATION AND SOCIETY AXIS.

• 5.3. TECHNICAL, PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS AXIS.

• 5.4. AXIS OF REGULATORY DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES.

•
5.5. FINANCING AXIS.
