Parliament approves the law "on the energy performance of buildings",

The Parliament today approved with 72 votes in favor and 1 against the draft law “On the energy performance of buildings”. The approval of this draft law makes Albania the first country in the region to fully implement the latest European Union directive in this field.

This legal initiative aims to radically transform the way buildings are constructed and renovated in Albania, with the objective that by 2050, all public and private buildings will be converted into buildings with minimal energy consumption, writes A2 CNN.

The law is not a formal approximation with the EU, but a concrete and structured policy that puts citizens, the environment, and energy saving at the center.

Through this law, building renovation booklets will come into force, helping owners make efficient and beneficial investments in terms of energy.

Every building in Albania will have its own booklet. At the center of this initiative are families in economic difficulties who have not had the opportunity to renovate their old apartments, helping them through incentives not to be left behind in the need for transformation and energy saving.

It is also intended to install solar panels in new facilities and those that will undergo renovation.

The goal is that all new buildings will be equipped with smart charging points that construction firms must implement. (A2 Televizion)
