Consumption reduction by upgrading the energy efficiency of buildings
Italy counts on its territory 13 million and a half of which produced about 12 million intended for housing. Almost 65% of these buildings are single-family homes and villas or else large and small apartment buildings.
Since the end of World War II to the early '80s was built 50% of the national building stock.
Among them, the buildings built between the '50s and the '70s have very low energy performance, consume about 160 kilowatt-hours per square meter, compared with 75 of a new building.
Their energy upgrading, with radical surgery on the package and on the plants, it would allow a reduction in consumption of more than 50%, increasing comfort.
In our buildings so there is a huge reservoir of energy ready to be tapped, and the means to do so are already available: the market offers materials, components and services with high efficiency, and the domestic industry is at the forefront in this area.
To give impetus to the market for redevelopment and to deliver real energy and economic benefits, are indispensable mechanisms and instruments to stimulate investment and ensure the quality of the final result.
From this need come the Working Tables for Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings, a consultative body promoted and coordinated by ENEA in its function of National Agency for Energy Efficiency. To 4 tables, to develop joint proposals, participating public and private entities that operate in the construction sector.
Skills development for businesses and professionals dedicated to the production and management of residential systems efficient;
reduction of production costs by acting mainly on economies of scale;
increase in research activities related to the development and industrialization of the market;
improving the quality of urban life by creating neighborhoods sustainable energy.
A shared commitment to a green economy Italian energy efficient, safer, more competitive and more sustainable.
