The introduction of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/doue\/2024\/1275\/L00001-00068.pdf\">new European Directive 2024\/1275<\/a> makes it clear that we are no longer dealing with a mere recommendation linked to comfort, but rather a legal obligation: it marks the end of buildings rated E and F.<\/p>\n<p>By 2030, the legislation will require a <a href=\"https:\/\/faveker.com\/en\/blog\/energy-rehabilitation-building\/\"><strong>fa\u00e7ade renovation<\/strong><\/a> <strong>for any building with an energy rating below E<\/strong>.

The European Directive establishes a <strong>roadmap with deadlines<\/strong> affecting both residential and commercial buildings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2030 target:<\/strong> The new directive requires the residential sector to reduce average primary energy consumption by at least 16%, prioritizing the renovation of homes with the lowest energy ratings. For the commercial market, the requirement focuses on renovating the least energy-efficient 16% of the building stock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2050 target:<\/strong> The ultimate objective is to achieve <strong>full decarbonization<\/strong>, transforming existing building stock into zero-emission buildings (ZEB).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The primary challenge facing building professionals is the inadequacy of partial measures. Explaining to clients that replacing windows, upgrading frames or installing solar panels is not enough if the envelope continues to lose energy is crucial. Action must be taken directly on the building\u2019s skin. It is necessary to address the thermal structure at its core by choosing <strong>comprehensive fa\u00e7ade solutions<\/strong> that ensure the building remains viable through upcoming inspections and decade-long requirements.[\/vc_column_text]<style>.ld_spacer_6ac81a05387a0{height:32px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6ac81a05387a0\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;273048&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fs-16&#8243;]Comparison: building before renovation (top) and after renovation with Faveker GA16 FTS502B (bottom).[\/vc_column_text]<style>.ld_spacer_6ac81a0538cb1{height:32px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6ac81a0538cb1\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>The CTE DB-HE: The Exact Technical Calculation Required to Achieve the Target<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<style>.ld_spacer_6ac81a0538df1{height:32px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_6ac81a0538df1\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;fs-16&#8243;]While the European Directive establishes the regulatory framework and decarbonization deadlines, the <a href=\"https:\/\/faveker.com\/en\/blog\/new-cte-key-changes\/\">Technical Building Code (CTE)<\/a>\u2014through its Basic Document on Energy Saving (DB-HE)\u2014sets out the calculation rules and technical requirements for thermal performance.
