explores the process of rehabilitation from three areas: social, environmental, technical and economic, making a diagnosis of current problems, pointing out some solutions, as reflected in many of the following points, point give way to new views and approaches to the problem, some cited in the debate, as the need for a more interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, some not directly addressed in the session.
- Problems differentiating rehabilitation in Spain: 86% of homes are owned, as multiple real estate owners impedes decision making and discourages the development of an effective policy action . The rehabilitation VAT penalizes these works, contrary to policies to promote applied in other countries.
- Need for expeditious action figures, adequacy of legal and regulatory framework, specifically for rehabilitation. Management have mechanisms at all levels, especially attention to communities of owners (a day, without legal personality).
- Rehabilitation is an indicator of a country's development, reaching roughly around 50% of the construction sector in Europe, in some cases 70%, and being in Spain in 20-30%. Although the English housing stock is newer than other neighboring countries, approximately 50% was built after 1970, more than 7 million were a significant weakness of media, materials and constructive solutions. Linked this to the properties that need rehabilitation are occupied by lower income and older people who can not move to places with better conditions.
- Urban rehabilitation must be a multidisciplinary process that can not be solved without the technical and professional look different, without the opinion and awareness of users or without considering the rehabilitation process in all its breadth: user, building, city, citizens.
- Need incorporated into plans training study in sustainability. That is rigorous and fleeing piecemeal.
- It raises the possibility of catalogs of Practice on the part of professionals and technicians. In the manner of the NTE (building technology standards, not mandatory) would form the basis for future advances or updates to regulatory intervention in rehabilitation. Since a lot to do and assimilation and implementation of any legislation is slow, it is necessary to share the acquired knowledge based on experience and pave the way for legislators, if they want to get results in the medium term. is therefore in the public interest (to improve the quality of life of users of buildings and reducing energy consumption and GHG emissions) and by the resurgence of construction (employment generation).
- Recreate the philosophy of "balls out" (to the Administration, which certainly seems to have anticipated the time it takes the rules and laws be enforced, especially if it comes to getting results) and wait, not a solution, for anyone, and does not resolve the mismatch and lack of references in the rehabilitation intervention.
- Building logic, taking into account the entire life cycle processes and materials. The savings is to optimize what you spend to spend less, planning and actions minimized in quantity but not in intensity, leaving the vision of the solutions in the short term. This involves reducing inconvenience to users and to diversify and broaden the scope of expenditures. Employment galleries urban facilities to resolve, to be registrable, the successive waves of trenches and holes in the streets every time a company supply has to repair or upgrade their distribution networks.
- Granting the upkeep and maintenance of buildings and public spaces the vital importance of avoiding the problems of weak and deteriorating facilities unnecessary.
- The treatment of public spaces permeable to water (the pedestrian public spaces should not necessarily link to the pavement, leave the cities to breathe, filter the water, clean the air by the presence of sufficient vegetation).
- is alleged a lack of comprehensive data on the park edificatorio (state, number of occupants ...), why not save time by including these and other aspects and technical inspections of buildings, already operating at today?
- Use technology required to solve problems, not new or current, but by their effectiveness and adding value, not necessarily limit the performance of rehabilitated housing on new housing ( telecommunications cabling that allows access to new technology or telecare, accessibility, housing conditions appropriate) Establish standards of quality profiles or for buildings. Finding the balance between what exists and the new benefits.
- Compulsory energy rating report or at the time of the sale of a property, something that is already used in other European countries like Germany or France.
- 2020 Although all buildings must be zero emissions under the European Directive, if nothing is done about the existing fleet can not get a significant drop in greenhouse gas emissions.
- Include the adaptability of built space (or public) as a criterion for intervention. The society is moving in new family and new needs, other uses are located in residential buildings (office, retail)
- Promoting diversity: the coexistence of different activities and uses of the building, the variety of social classes, racial and age, it enriches the dynamism of urban life, to avoid isolation and stagnation, fostering job retention in the consolidated facilities (eg local shops) and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, that are more participatory in regeneration initiatives.
