The great challenge is not the new construction: it is the park already built

Half of the buildings in Spain are more than forty years old and were erected without any criteria of efficiency. This is where the greatest downsizing potential lies, and the most stable business for the next few years.

The demand for new construction stabilizes, but the existing building stock is mostly obsolete. A significant part of the population lives in deficient housing, with problems of thermal comfort and very high consumption. The use phase of old buildings concentrates on average more than 80% of their emissions, so intervening in them is the most powerful lever for decarbonisation in the sector.

Comprehensive renovation goes far beyond thermal insulation. It combines passive measures, such as orientation, envelope or natural ventilation, with more efficient active measures and renewable energy sources, and adds health, accessibility, digitalisation and circular economy criteria. A well-planned intervention improves the footprint, energy bill, comfort and value of the property at the same time.

For companies in the sector, renovation represents a labor-intensive activity, distributed throughout the territory and with strong support from public funds. For the tertiary and industrial fabric, rehabilitation reduces operating costs, revalues assets and, when intervening in workspaces, improves productivity and reduces absenteeism.

Sustainability that makes B2B grow

October 15, 2025

In many B2B markets, sustainability has ceased to be just a compliance requirement to become a factor of competitiveness. When a product or service helps the customer reduce impact (especially in its Scope 3), the conversation shifts from justifying prices to creating value: better access, more share and, in certain cases, better price premium.

Waste management and renewable energies, key to sustainable development

February 24, 2023

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the energy transition represents a progressive shift to replace fossil fuel energy generation with a mix of renewable and local energy with zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Implementation of ISO 14.001 and integral carbon footprint for MECESA

July 26, 2025

For MECESA, our proposal was to implement an environmental management system in accordance with the ISO 14.001 standard, accompanied by the calculation of the carbon footprint (scope 1, 2 and 3) to integrate sustainability into the daily operation.
