In May 2024, the European EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive), officially came into force. This legislation sets new energy standards for all EU countries, requiring that all new buildings achieve NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Buildings) performance levels and that a large part of the existing building stock is upgraded.
Currently, about 70 percent of Italian buildings (equivalent to about 5 million dwellings) are in the lowest energy classes (F and G) and 48 percent of buildings do not have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) updated within the last 10 years.
In this context, the pace of ageing of the real estate stock, both in Italy and Europe, where buildings normally have an average life span of more than 50 years, is a very slow process (3% on average per year). Technological modernization, building process innovation, and the implementation of building automation systems are advancing at a slow pace.
Renovating a building means working on the systems, technologies, and envelopes, accelerating a process that, by its very nature, tends to be long and complex.
Wegreenit and residential buildings: sustainability and energy upgrading
As Wegreenit, we are able to support apartment building’ projects to become more sustainable meeting the requirements of European’s new energy performance regulations.
The future of energy efficiency
As a “full contractor”, we have been carrying out energy efficiency measures since 2021 and have completed more than 200 projects in recent years. Wegreenit’s goal is to improve the structural efficiency of buildings, thereby reducing costs and lowering CO2 emissions.
Benefits for condominiums: savings and sustainability
There are many significant benefits to be gained by residential buildings: savings in energy costs, increased living comfort and a clear reduction in environmental impact.
With the experience and expertise of our team of experts, we offer comprehensive, customised and building-specific solutions, making the transition to energy efficiency simple and cost-effective.
