New buildings and those to be renovated must meet minimum energy performance requirements set by the government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and rely on renewable energy.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy has released for public consultation a draft law that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by the building stock in our country, this is an important step towards achieving climate objectives and promoting sustainability in the energy sector and that of construction.
The bill envisages the establishment of energy performance standards and directives that help reduce carbon emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change. Improving energy efficiency in buildings will result in significant energy savings, reducing costs for consumers and reducing dependence on fossil resources.
Within this, new obligations will be imposed on new buildings and those that will be renovated in the future. New buildings must be emission-free from 2028 for public ones and from 2030 for all buildings. From 2027, buildings owned by public authorities will have the obligation to be emission-free.
Also, new buildings must be designed to harness solar energy based on the area's solar radiation and enable the installation of cost-effective solar technologies starting in 2026.
