One of the current keys to social well-being is focuses on the importance of savings energy at home, which is accompanied by the policies and interest of each country in improving or diminishing its energy efficiency policy in front of your park real estate, whether new construction or existing housing. If we neglect energy saving we will not family spending only increases to sustain our residence at a suitable temperature or simply being able to have light, but also concepts appear such as energy poverty, health deterioration, social discrimination, effects against the environment environment….etc A series of circumstances that affect negatively to the population as a whole.
Throughout 2015, the EU conducted a survey of different experts from the sector of efficiency and energy consumption – more than 1,100 – on the energy efficiency policies and advances in different countries of the European Union. Now a new ECEEE report (European Council for an Energy Efficient Economy) reflects the results of these surveys.
We remember an article of interest that deals with the measures and factors in the energy saving of the buildings.

Although the concept is broad, if we channel it towards the home, consists of the optimization of the use of energy with the aim of reducing its consumption. It is essential that we can reduce the dependence and consumption of energy in our housing. In this sense, they affect us and two important issues are defined, on the one hand, we must learn to get energy through a more affordable and respectful of our environment and, on the other hand, We must learn to use effectively that energy that we consume.
The measures for energy saving They are mainly motivated by two ways; The individualized, home-focused, largely depends on the economic access of the families and that generated by policies energy sources that promote efficiency and energy efficiency of the building stock. Bearing in mind that the possible measures that are adopted, both in housing, as in hotels, industry...etc, in your most, have tangible benefits in short periods of time, a circumstance that few sectors can brag.
The object of the following image is to give know easily, graphically, specifically and with values Approximate costs and benefits of the rehabilitation of buildings through the implementation of certain safety measures energy saving and efficiency. In this case they offer data on an example of energy savings in housing.
As data, to expand knowledge we can see the article energy saving measures where we focus on new construction buildings and existing ones, with recommended energy saving practices and how to achieve energy savings at home.
Over the past 10 years, the importance of efficiency energy in European politics has increased steadily constant. Today, it is a key item on the agenda EU policy. Policy makers are progressively recognizing that the saving of energy isis a means suited to address the triple challenge of recovery economy, energy dependence and change climate.
The European Union has pledged to reduce by 20% its primary energy consumption for the year 2020 and a series of policies and guidelines were and are being taken in the last decade to achieve this goal, Although all countries do not advance at the same rhythm. The chart below shows how experts see the advancement of energy efficiency policies in their countries in the last 3 years.
The report concludes that, despite good developments in some countries and in some areas of politics, the global progress is still too slow or almost absent in several member states. The results show a great disparity between levels of ambition, policies and importance of energy saving according to Member States.
The following table shows a classification of the levels progress of Member States in the 2015 survey (in blue) and the 2012 survey (in grey).
While in the lead we have Denmark, Finland o Estonia, there are some significant moves in many Member States. a slow down from countries such as Malta, Portugal, the United Kingdom Kingdom and Spain. Or progressive increases for countries such as Cyprus, Italy, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
In the case of Spain (the last country in the list), the arguments put forward by the experts who confirm the deficiencies in efficiency policies energy are literally devastating.
Phrases like… “the country that has made the least progress in energy efficiency policies since 2012″… «The Experts consider that the general ambition of the policies of energy efficiency is very low – 88%»…»It seems that the crisis economic and financial has had a strong impact on the energy efficiency policies. has given rise to a significant decrease in the budgets available for national and regional energy agencies that had a key role in previous years»
Another circumstance that will tip us more towards oblivion, is that currently there are no savings budgets energy and efficiency for 2016. Therefore, it is predicted a year, according to the dates that we are, very complicated for energy saving policies in Spain.
