[:en]On December 2nd, the Vilanova i la Geltrú Town Hall, through l'Local Energy Agency, and Serra Experiència Immobiliària, organised the “Energy and Money Saving” event, where real and innovative proposals for energy saving in businesses and property owners’ associations were presented. The event, which was held at the Neàpolis Auditorium, aimed to raise awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability and to promote social and ecological responsibility in the use of energy.
Presented and moderated by Enric Garriga, head of the environmental service of the Vilanova i la Geltrú City Council, the event focused on the energy saving possibilities available to businesses and property owners and the steps to follow to make a business and a property owners' community more energy and financially efficient. In this regard, Luis Morer, head of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects at the Vilanova i la Geltrú City Council, Catalan Institute of Energy, noted that: «You have to measure in order to improve. The first step is to analyse and measure current energy consumption. The second step is to act on energy accounting, that is, review the contracted power of light, the rates offered by the suppliers, etc. And the third step is to invest in energy-efficient equipment and installations». Morer also stressed the importance of improving the energy rating of our buildings as an added value for private homes, «In Europe, where they are six years ahead of us, we have already begun to see that the sale and rental price is linked to the letter of the energy rating».
In this regard, Joan Lluis Saperas, Deputy Director of Serra Real Estate Experience, explained the energy efficiency project that Serra is carrying out for the energy and economic savings of the communities of owners: "We present an audit, calculate the total costs to be invested and from there we propose a comprehensive energy efficiency project in which the communities of owners do not have to worry about anything and it does not entail an increase in the fee, since the entire project is financed with the same savings."
As an example of the measures that can be carried out by communities of owners, Sergi Marrugat, from the energy consultancy Agger, presented real energy audits of car parks and communities of owners. Replacing traditional light bulbs with LEDs, repositioning lamps or lanterns to make more efficient use, changing the marketing companies, thermally insulating buildings, replacing technologies with more efficient ones, changing the contracted power, etc. are some of the many measures applicable to communities of owners that guarantee energy and economic savings.
The day concluded with the participation of the meteorologist from Televisió de Catalunya, Francesc Mauri, who stressed that the rational use of energy is a tool to fight climate change and that it costs very little and has many positive factors, not only ecological but also economic. Mauri appealed to the conscience of each of those present to take action and praised the proposals presented by the businessmen, which he described as innovative in this area.
At Serra Experiència Inmobiliària we care about our clients' savings. That is why we promote energy saving and environmental awareness initiatives.
If you would like to arrange a study of how your community can save energy and money, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Morer also emphasizes the importance of improving the energy qualification of our buildings with a value that affects particular habitats, “To Europe, now it is 6 years from now, it has begun to be seen that the sales price and the driver are linked to the letter of the energy qualification”.
