Summary:

On 25th November before the 7th Spanish Passivhaus Conference, PEP organized a workshop on the measurements for financing EnerPHit retrofits, the high efficiency Standard, carried out step-by-step.

A group of experts from different national and European organizations discussed the different alternatives they have available in Spain: credit lines, subsidies, loans, European programme funding, energy service companies, tax incentives, etc. The goal was to find a way how to make a building project attractive for a financial institution to invest in.

In the end of the session one of the EuroPHit case studies was discussed – a social housing building from the 50s in the city of San Sebastian. This was an example that perfectly represents the reality of Spain, where most residential buildings are multi-family rather than single-family, and the residents must approve every decision.
