As energy prices continue to rise, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly crucial when evaluating and designing buildings. This approach not only aims to reduce costs, but also to minimise environmental impact and improve comfort in living spaces.
Today, in both new construction projects and renovations, energy certification is considered fundamental to ensure that the building meets sustainability and efficiency standards.
What is Energy Efficiency in Buildings?
The energy efficiency of a building refers to its ability to optimise energy use by reducing consumption without compromising comfort. In practical terms, this translates into reduced heat losses and a more effective use of energy resources.
An efficient building is one that, thanks to its systems and structure, manages to retain heat better in winter and keep cooler in summer, thus minimising the need for additional heating and cooling systems.
The Importance of Thermal Insulation
Insulation is one of the key elements in achieving energy efficiency in a building. It is estimated that, in an average home, between 25% and 50% of heat loss occurs through the exterior walls.
Other critical points include roofs and thermal bridges, where losses range between 15% and 35%. These figures highlight the importance of having good insulation in the building envelope and of installing airtight boxes and other components designed to prevent energy leakage.
Benefits of Good Insulation
- Reduced Energy Costs: By preventing heat leakage, the building requires less energy to stay comfortable, which translates into lower heating and cooling costs.
- Increased Thermal Comfort: A well-insulated home maintains a more stable temperature, avoiding sudden variations that affect the comfort of its inhabitants.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Less energy consumption means a smaller carbon footprint, contributing to sustainability and care for the environment.
Key Components for Optimal Energy Efficiency
At Solera, we develop solutions that contribute to the insulation and energy efficiency of buildings. Our products, such as enclosures and weatherproof enclosures, are designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, protecting electrical circuits and minimising energy leakage.
- Heavy Duty Enclosures: Designed to insulate and protect electrical circuits from the elements, these enclosures help keep the system in optimal condition, helping to reduce energy losses.
- Watertight Enclosures: These enclosures are essential to prevent leaks and ensure that electrical components maintain their performance, even in environments with high humidity or thermal variations.
- Sustainable Products: At Solera, we are committed to developing sustainable solutions that comply with current regulations and reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
Energy Certification and Compliance with Standards
In order to obtain an energy certification, it is essential to have a design and materials that comply with efficiency standards. This certification not only ensures that the building is more economical and sustainable, but can also increase its market value, as many buyers and tenants prefer properties with low energy consumption.
At Psolera, we understand today's demands and develop products that help installers and builders meet efficiency requirements. From protection solutions to specialised mechanisms and enclosures, our product portfolio offers options that meet the most demanding market standards.
