Next Generation
The arrival of European grants are a great opportunity to improve energy efficiency in buildings.
Catalonia is expecting 2.742 million euros to help different sectors with the improvement of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy.
The role of the public administration
A historical moment to solve the common problem of our cities and towns:
obsolete, inefficient and unhealthy buildings.At the foundation Europace we help to canalize the funds Next Generation into the territory, creating an unique opportunity to regenerate urban elements and realizing a transition to a new energetic model
2.742
million euros
to regenerate our urban elements and promote the use of renewable energy.
The Foundation Europace is helping more than twenty local and federal governments and institutes interested in developing initiatives to receive and canalize grants within their territory.

Benefits of urban renewal
Renovation of the building stock does not only contribute to the battle against climate change, but it also has many other advantages for society.
IMPROVES PEOPLE'S HEALTH
We spend 90% of our time indoors. Energy renovation of houses improves physical and mental health, therefore also the quality of life.
IMPROVES THE FAMILY ECONOMY
The renovation of houses can potentially reduce the energy demand by 50-55%, increasing the household’s income.
REVALUATE THE HOUSES IN THE MUNICIPALITY
An efficient house increases 10% in market value. More than 90% of the houses in Catalonia are energetically inefficient.
REACTIVATE THE LOCAL ECONOMY
90% of the professionals are from the same area. The project enhances and prioritizes the natural and economic resources of the municipality, so that they stay in their territory, creating a circular economy.
CREATE NEW JOBS
The green energy sector will create many new jobs before 2030. The demand for energy products and services will grow, which will mean an increase in the economy and specialized work.
PROMOTE MORE HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
Buildings consume approximately 30% of all energy consumption and emit 10% of all CO2 emission. Energy renovation and the use of renewable energy is the cornerstone for achieving the 2030 European targets (SDGs)
EU Next Generation funds are more than a recovery plan
It is the cornerstone to emerge stronger from the pandemic, transform our economies and societies and design a green, digital, cohesive and resilient country.
How can we help you?

HolaDomus crea un nou actor en el sector de la rehabilitació que assessora i acompanya els ciutadans durant tot el procés de reforma.
Add Title
HolaDomus es basa en un model de “finestreta única” que facilita la interacció entre els diferents actors que intervenen en un procés de reforma (propietari, entitat financera, Administració i industrials) i acompanya els propietaris durant tot el procés de reforma a través d’assessorament tècnic i administratiu personalitzat, combinat amb una solució de finançament assequible.
El programa va ser dissenyat a partir de l’anàlisi de programes similars, d’entrevistes a actors clau del sector i d’un estudi de mercat molt exhaustiu per identificar les principals barreres a les quals ha de fer front un propietari quan vol reformar el seu habitatge i com es poden solucionar a través del programa.
