Foundation The House that Saves deepens in the knowledge that has of the energetic efficiency
12 July 2012
The results of said survey have allowed to know, that more than 80% of the participants knew that the buildings are responsible in the European Union of 40% of the total consumption of power. Likewise, around 70% hit indicating that improving the buildings by means of the current technicians is possible to reach savings of until 80% in the energetic consumption. Finally, 65% showed to be conscious that the investment in energetic efficiency is profitable when hitting with the suitable answer: it is possible to recover 5 euros by each 1 invested.
However, like negative note, less than 40% of the participants showed to be conscious of the potential of generation of employment associated to the energetic rehabilitation of buildings, enciphered by the organisers of the activity in 19 places of direct work by each million of euros invested, a very similar figure to the reached, for example, in the conclusions of recent studies realised in Spain by the Group of Work of Rehabilitation (GTR) or the Association of Environingingmental Sciences.
The general secretary of the organisation EuroAce, Adrian Joyce, entity promoter of the initiative, stood out in positive that this type of votes ascertain that the message of the environingingmental and economic advantages of the improvement of the energetic efficiency of the buildings has calado between the main experts linked to the sector. But, of equal form, incidió in the need to follow working to achieve that said message translate in concrete actions that take advantage of the potential of existent energetic saving in the buildings, winning, between others, the main barrier detected, the access to the financials.
Does not seem casualidad, therefore, that 42% of the respondents by the
Nevertheless, although different surveys show positive notes, still remains a lot for doing, so much from the punto of the sensitisation and awareness, as with regard to the put in practice of measures that promote the energetic efficiency of our buildings.
