All homes will have to have an E energy efficiency certificate by January 2030 and a D \u2014or better\u2014 by January 2033.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new Building Energy Efficiency Directive, which is due to be approved later this year and in 2024, provides for all buildings to receive an A or B energy rating since 2040, while the European Commission will force all homes to have an E energy efficiency certificate in January 2030 and D \u2014or better\u2014 in January 2033.<\/p>\n

Inefficient housing and large energy consumer.<\/h3>\n

In the European Union, buildings are responsible for 40% of the energy consumed<\/strong> and 36% of emissions, <\/strong>direct and indirect energy-related greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, buildings are the biggest energy consumer in Europe<\/strong>. Heating, cooling and domestic hot water represent 80% of the energy that we citizens consume.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Currently, around 35% of buildings in the EU<\/strong> are over 50 years old and almost 75% of the building stock is energy inefficient. At the same time, per year, only about 1% of the buildings are renovated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The real estate stock in Spain<\/strong>, according to IDAE data, has more than 80% of the buildings with an energy rating E, F or G, therefore, inefficient.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Explains Dolores Huerta, general director of the Green Building Council Spain<\/a> (GBCe), \u201c<\/strong>This is due to the Spanish building stock being very old, since more than half was built before 1980, when the Technical Building Code\u00a0<\/strong>did not yet establish the minimum efficiency standards that builders must comply.”<\/p>\n

New European directive on energy efficiency in buildings (EPDB).<\/h3>\n

The new Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)<\/strong> provides for all buildings to receive an A or B energy rating by 2040.<\/p>\n
