FACILITA

A highly energy inefficient building stock is a critical obstacle to Clean Energy Transition in Europe. Renovating public buildings provides exemplarity and serves as a spearhead for wider renovation efforts, while offering visible co-benefits in relatively short time.

In Spain, public buildings’ renovation rates are rather low, and climate heterogeneity leads to multiple energy consumption patterns in buildings. Still, Spanish local and regional authorities owning public stock currently face obstacles to implement deep energy renovation projects, which seriously endangers the achievement of climate neutrality by 2050. To trigger ambitious energy renovation in Spanish public buildings, FACILITA aims to create and operate a regional One-Stop-Shop (OSS) in each of these three Spanish regions: Extremadura, Madrid and Valencia. These regions present diverse climates, urbanistic contexts, and OSS operational governance models. OSSs will offer LRAs a comprehensive service portfolio, including technical, financial and legal advice, procurement and quality assurance to facilitate renovation of regional government, provincial councils and municipalities’ building stock.
