Spanish households consume an average of 137 kilowatt-hours per square meter per year (Kwh/m2)It’s “well below” the European figure of 217 kWh/m2/year and is well on its way to energy efficiency, according to a barometer prepared by consulting firm Deepki in collaboration with the Institut de l’Epargne Immobiliere. et Fonciere of France (IEIF). In a communication, both sides assure that Spain is on the “good track” to achieve energy efficiency. For comparison, French households consume an average of 261 (Kwh/m2) per year, the UK 380 or the Benelux countries 223.
The real estate sector is responsible for 37% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.One of the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, therefore, increasing the efficiency of homes and business buildings contributes to reducing emissions and controlling climate change.
European barometer a Rating from letter A (less than 44.6 kWh/m2/year) to G (greater than 382.6 kWh/m2/year), with Spanish buildings in energy class D (less than 172.3 Kwh/m2 per year) according to Deepki. The technical criterion that characterizes these labels, as stated by the company, “has to measure the house’s surface and energy consumption (expressed in KWh/m2 year) as well as CO2 emissions (expressed in kgCO2/m2 year).
However, according to the organization that prepared the study, the Spanish average is closer to the C-label (less than 112.1 kWh/m2/year), defined by the organization as the “most sustainable category”. With this and other relevant data, the “intended helps real estate entities understand the performance of their assets and at the same time to overcome the difficulties posed by the taxonomy of the European Union”.
Methodology
By collecting data from more than 40 countries” achieve internationally homogeneous and truly contrasting resultsDeepki’s CEO and co-founder, Vincent Bryant and Emmanuel Blanchet, emphasized that through the use of methodology that enables a deeper and systematic understanding of its environmental impact, the industry can take effective measures to achieve its fundamental transformation”, Deepki’s COO and founder partner.
According to the company, the publication of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the European Union’s taxonomy is a growing market demand for a standardized benchmark.
