The book provides a complete vision about Spanish sustainable renovation of buildings situation
at this moment analysing legal and technological context and opportunities that economic
stimulus -by means of direct aids- and the use of BIM methodologies offers a standardization of
high scale interventions. Nowadays BIM models let us integrate multiple quantitative
parameters that can agile the information to interchange between stakeholders. Using this
potential to standardize protocols of interventions and share knowledge is necessary to face a
high scale intervention that our cities need.Climatic Emergency and socioeconomic crisis caused
by recent events -COVID-19 and hydrocarbons crisis- are the two principal struggles we face as
society. European Politics embodied by National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) developed by
each region give the way to the green transition of different productive sectors. Our building
stock is responsible for approximately 36% of the CO2 emissions in the European Union. For this
reason these policies focus a large part of their efforts on economically incentivizing a new
development model for the building sector that is committed to the large-scale renovation of
the existing real estate stock and that through the reduction of energy demand and of
emissions manage to reduce the environmental impact of these. Next Generation EU is the new
recovery instrument that aims to mobilize investments towards strategic sectors for the
reorientation of the production model that among other measures contributes to
decarbonization through the promotion of energy efficiency and the deployment of renewable
energies.
