Social Housing, Bonuses Ready: Winning the Sustainability Challenge
The article discusses the transition toward energy efficiency in public housing in Italy, emphasizing the importance of these changes for sustainable growth.
In Italy, there is an ongoing transition towards energy efficiency in public housing, as articulated by Riccardo Erbi, the delegated advisor of La Cascina Costruzioni. This company has experienced significant growth, boasting over 200 employees and a revenue of 60 million euros. The officials' remarks highlight that with the end of the superbonus and soon the conclusion of the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), the construction sector must rethink its strategies to adapt to new challenges, particularly those related to energy poverty and sustainability.
The recent legislative measures, such as the ERP decree for public residential buildings and the Conto Termico 3.0, mark a shift in focus towards improving the energy efficiency of social housing. These changes are perceived as opportunities for growth and innovation within the construction sector. Companies and public administrations are called to develop new tools and models to address the dual goals of enhancing energy production from renewable sources and improving living conditions for residents in social housing.
The implications of this transition underscore the critical need for collaboration between private enterprises and public authorities. As the construction landscape evolves with policies promoting sustainable practices, the focus will likely shift towards creating energy-efficient residences that not only reduce energy costs for residents but also contribute to the broader objectives of sustainability and climate action in Italy.
