The ITE flame to the doors of the buildings of more than 50 years

Resumiendo In brief, the RDL 8/2011, contained a measure that established (article 21) the forcing to realise the technical inspection of buildings in those whose antiquity was upper to 50 years, were allocated preferably to residential use and situated in municipalities of more than 25.000 inhabitants.

What supposes this? To what number of municipalities affects? As it is very variable according to the province, but definitely will affect to all the capitals of province and to the most populated municipalities of Spain.

Have consulted data of the last census of population and house of the that have data (Census of the year 2001 of the National Institute of Statistics) and, for example, in the province of Álava, only would affect to the capital of province, Vitoria-gasteiz; in Albacete, to his capital and to the place of Hellín, but if they analyse other provinces, the number of municipalities affected varies considerably, in function of the half size of population of his municipalities and of the greater or lower concentration of inhabitants in his territory. For putting an intermediate example, in Alicante, of the 140 existent municipalities, so much the capital of province like other 10 municipalities will have to subject to the obligation, when surpassing the 25.000 inhabitants censados. But if it takes like example the province of Madrid shows the importance that has this new normative; of the 183 municipalities that there is in the province, 26 of them surpass the threshold of population marked, supposing besides this figure more than 91% of the population of the province.

The technical inspection will have to:

• Evaluate the adecuación of the inmuebles to the conditions of hygiene, salubridad, accessibility and ornato that demand legally.
• Determine the works and works of conservation that require to fulfil the conditions, as well as the distinguished time to the effect. The supporting document of the inspection will be effective when it have certified the realisation of the works and works, in the distinguished term, required so that the building fulfil the exigible legal requirements
• The inspections commissioned by a community of owners will extend his efficiency to all the venues and houses that form part of the building to the that represent.

The autonomous communities are the attendants to fix the form, terms and conditions, being able to the city councils specify own requirements, always respecting the autonomic and state minima.

In any case, does not split of zero in all the cases, since some autonomous communities and municipalities already had rule that forced to happen the ITE, therefore the technical inspections do not suppose a novelty in all the cases, yes in others, by what have not ceased in the last months the approval of ordenanzas and decrees that develop the state legislation.

The City council of Madrid approved in the year 2011 a new ordenanza municipal by means of which incorporated criteria of energetic improvement in the ITE, no vinculantes for the superación of the inspection, but that yes would form part of the report issued by the technician evaluador.

Of any way, the RDL does not specify this circumstance neither forces to incorporate an assessment of the energetic efficiency of the building, such as it has contemplated the City council of Madrid, but these inspections suppose an opportunity in this sense. The communities of owners that have to amend deficiencies in the façade, cover, common elements, or in other elements, especially of the envolvente of the building as a result of the ITE, have an only opportunity to carry out an energetic rehabilitation of the building, although this did not go the initial purpose of the rehabilitation. Reasons to do it, more than sufficient; energetic saving, economic saving, reduction of broadcasts, increase of the quality of life in the house, improvement of the energetic behaviour of the building, etc. And one more, to the doors of the approval of the Royal decree that will regulate the energetic certification of existent buildings, all building that subject to a rehabilitation and diminish his energetic demand, will improve his energetic class and therefore his value patrimonial in front of a future sale or rent.
