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
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)
