In the recent edition of Construmat 2025, one of the most significant trade fairs in the construction sector in Spain and Southern Europe, a technical session was held organized by the Spanish Association of Manufacturers of Lightweight Facades and Windows (ASEFAVE) in Barcelona. The event, titled “The Role of Administrations in the Framework of Energy Savings Certificates (CAEs) Generated through the Rehabilitation of Buildings and Homes,” brought together leading experts in the industry who addressed crucial topics for the future of construction and sustainability.
Miguel Robles, president of ASEFAVE, emphasized the growing need for effective rehabilitation and a focus on energy savings, stating that administrations must align their local priorities with European guidelines. Robles highlighted that the current moment is critical but also discussed bureaucracy as a significant obstacle to sector development, asserting that it is essential to simplify administrative processes to facilitate project execution.
Experts like Lluís Morer and Carlos Orbea underscored the importance of CAEs not only in terms of energy efficiency but also as catalysts that can drive rehabilitation and promote public housing. Morer stated that European regulations highlight the need for rehabilitation to reduce energy consumption, while Orbea emphasized that any measure contributing to lowering energy bills is essential for the sector’s advancement.
In the same vein, José Manuel Naharro, technical director at Fenercom, stressed the importance of educating about CAEs, arguing that it is vital for decision-makers to understand their utility. Finally, Isabel Tejero, director of energy consulting and CAEs at EFFIC, warned about the challenge of multiplying by ten the number of rehabilitations currently being carried out, urging the use of CAEs as a key tool to achieve these goals.
ASEFAVE, established in 1977, represents the leading manufacturers of windows and facades in Spain, with the aim of coordinating sector interests and promoting a more efficient and sustainable industry.
