GESTIÓN INTEGRAL para LA REHABILITACIÓN ENERGÉTICA DE EDIFICIOS. Apoyo en la solicitud de subvenciones al PROGRAMA PREE (IDAE)

The Building Energy Renovation Program (PREE) will subsidize actions that improve the energy efficiency of the thermal envelope, thermal installations, and lighting systems.

This program, from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, coordinated through IDAE and managed by the Autonomous Communities, has a budget of 300 million euros.

At IMPULSO, we offer our sector experience for the management of the entire cycle. To this end, we propose our services in:

• Grant management* with the competent authority.
• Drafting of technical projects.
• Construction Management and Health and Safety Coordination.
• Management of procedures and permits for obtaining building licenses.
• Management of works tendering for contractor selection.
• Alternatively to the previous point: direct construction management.

Below, we summarize the main characteristics of these grants*:

BENEFICIARIES

a) Private or public natural or legal persons who own existing buildings intended for any use.

b) Homeowners’ associations or groups of homeowners’ associations for residential buildings.

c) Owners who collectively own buildings.

d) Operating companies, tenants, or concessionaires of buildings.

e) Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), or energy service providers.

f) Local entities (City Council, municipality, region, commonwealth, metropolitan area, etc.).

g) Renewable energy communities and citizen energy communities.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

• Eligible actions:
  • a) Improvement of the energy efficiency of the thermal envelope.
  • b) Improvement of energy efficiency and use of renewable energies in thermal installations for heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, and domestic hot water.
  • c) Improvement of the energy efficiency of lighting installations.

• Existing building constructed before 2007.
• Actions to improve the building’s overall energy rating by at least one letter on the carbon dioxide emissions scale (kg CO² /m² year). Except:
  • a) When the building has an A energy rating and improvement measures are proposed.
  • b) When the building does not have a procedure for its energy rating. In this case, its final energy consumption must be reduced by 20% as an equivalent effect to a one-letter improvement.

• Actions in complete buildings (Option A), of one or more of the following uses: single-family housing; collective residential housing; and buildings of any other use (administrative, healthcare, educational, cultural, etc.). Except Ceuta and Melilla, which may allow actions on parts of a building in their calls (Option B).
• Execution deadlines: as indicated in the call, but typically 18 months after resolution, exceptionally extendable to 24 months.

ELIGIBLE CONCEPTS

a) Professional fees for preparing the energy efficiency certificate.

b) Costs of managing the grant application (maximum 4% of the requested grant amount, with a limit of 3,000 euros per file).

c) Costs of drafting technical projects.

d) Costs of site management for the actions.

e) Costs of executing works and/or installations.

f) Investment in equipment and materials made.

g) Costs of drafting reports and other documentation required for the application and justification of these grants.

h) Costs of managing the justification for the completion of the actions.

i) The auditor’s report on the justifying account.

j) The report certifying the proper execution of the actions subject to the grant, issued by a control body or entity. (h+i+j maximum 7% of the requested grant amount, with a limit of 7,000 euros per file).

k) Other necessary (auxiliary or not) specific items for each type of action.

Licenses, fees, taxes, or duties are not considered eligible costs. However, VAT and IGIC may be considered eligible provided they cannot be fully or partially recovered or offset.

TYPE AND INTENSITY OF AID

This is a non-repayable grant awarded by simple concurrence with the following aid intensities, for both Option A (complete building) and Option B (parts of a building). In Option B, the maximum aid per dwelling is €6,000. This is only possible in Ceuta and Melilla or in those Autonomous Communities that specify it in their call, for example, Andalusia.

These aid intensities can be increased with an additional aid, depending on the criteria: social, energy efficiency, and integrated action, potentially reaching up to 85%.

Base Aid Amount for Option A

Base Aid Amount for Option B

SUBMISSION DEADLINE

As indicated in each Autonomous Community’s call, but no later than July 31, 2021. Applications will be processed in strict order of submission until funds are exhausted.
