TRESPA® VENTILATED FACADE: FOR GREATER ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND INCREASED PROPERTY VALUE
BURGOS AND ALICANTE: TWO SPANISH CITIES WHERE NEIGHBOURHOOD COMMUNITIES HAVE DECIDED TO RENOVATE THEIR PROPERTIES
Homeowners have opted for features such as quality, design, and energy efficiency — and gained even more. Not only has the building’s energy rating improved, but its market value has also increased.
What’s the key to this result? A ventilated facade with TRESPA® METEON®.
Case 1 – Building in Burgos
"Once the renovation was complete, we started saving money immediately."
The current trend is to renovate buildings with energy efficiency in mind. The property refurbishment sector is booming in Spain, with annual investments reaching €25 billion. That 50% of this amount is spent on facades — with a focus on energy performance — is no small matter.
This is the conclusion reached by technical architect Daniel Gómez, after refurbishing a block of flats in Burgos, a city in northern Spain. After investing in the installation of a ventilated facade clad with Trespa® Meteon®, the owners observed not only increased energy efficiency, but also a rise in the value of their homes.
These improvements are backed by independent estimates and energy studies. Thermographic imaging demonstrates the improvements in both energy consumption and living comfort — something that residents have found very satisfying.
“In a harsh climate like the one we have in this area, it was essential to improve the building’s thermal insulation. Once the renovation was complete, we began saving on energy costs right away,” explains Gómez.
For the team of independent architects leading the project, Trespa® Meteon® proved a key element: a wide range of colours, a durable product, and a 10-year warranty.
“It was the best offer, with top-quality finishes. Easy to clean, impact-resistant, and quick to install. I could list many other advantages,” adds Gómez.
Case 2 – Victoria Building, Alicante
Before the refurbishment, the building had a very poor energy rating. Renovation also helps buildings maintain their expected lifespan. This was the case with the Victoria Building, located in the coastal Spanish city of Alicante, which, after 50 years, is now halfway through its life cycle.
The facade renovation has significantly enhanced the building’s appearance, increased its market value, and improved its energy performance. Property valuations and energy assessments show that, prior to the works, the building had a very low energy rating and high emissions. After the refurbishment, heating and air conditioning performance improved dramatically.
Once again, Trespa® Meteon® was chosen as the cladding material for this project. The large dimensions of the panels allowed installers to meet design requirements while also cladding over the original marble facade. With moderate investment from the owners and ease of installation for the technical team, property sales in this seafront location have increased significantly in an otherwise highly homogeneous market.
