In general, all new buildings and buildings undergoing major refurbishment must take the use of integrated RES into consideration (Art. 11, c. 1 DL 28/11). The values below apply to all buildings, for public buildings, such obligations are increased by 10% (Art. 6, Annex 3, DL 28/11).
RES-H plants must guarantee:
- 50% coverage of the foreseen consumption of warm sanitary water; and
- Coverage of the following percentages of the cumulative foreseen consumption of warm sanitary water, heating and cooling.
- 20 % if the request of the relevant building permit occurs between 31/05/2012 and 31/12/2013;
- 35 % if the request of the relevant building permit occurs between 01/01/2014 and 31/12/2017;
- 50 % if the request of the relevant building permit occurs from 01/01/2018 (Art. 1, Annex 3, DL 28/11)
RES-E plants must be integrated and installed with a capacity (P) calculated with the following formula:
P = (1/k)*S
- P being the plant’s capacity;
- S being the surface, in terms of terrain covered, of the concerned building; and
- k being a coefficient (m2/kW) with the following values:
- 80 if the request of the relevant building permit occurs between 31/05/2012 and 31/12/2013;
- 65 if the request of the relevant building permit occurs between 01/01/2014 and 31/12/2016;
- 50 if the request of the relevant building permit occurs after 01/01/2017 (Art. 3, Annex 3, DL 28/11)
These obligations do not apply:
- To certain buildings with historical value (Art. 11, c. 2 DL 28/11);
