The building sector is facing increasingly stringent regulatory requirements in terms of energy efficiency and building safety. The construction of new buildings or the refurbishment of existing buildings must meet a series of criteria that guarantee compliance with regulations, the safety of people and property, the sustainability of the building, acoustic and thermal comfort and the correct management of maintenance, among others.
Sustainability implies a radical change in the use of building materials, in the management of waste generated or in building renovation techniques to comply with new environmental requirements. The building renovation and rehabilitation sector is growing in Spain, given the age of our building stock, which no longer complies with new construction standards and represents a high level of avoidable energy waste.
