We are users of more than one building in our daily life: our own dwelling and our workplace, to start with, but we also make use of other buildings, such as the ones for academic, health, cultural purposes, etc. Each of them uses up energy to meet the heating, cooling, SHW availability, airing, lighting, boiling, washing, food maintenance, office automation, etc. The sum of these consumptions in Spain accounts for 20% of the end-use energy, a percentage that tends to keep growing. 

This action becomes explicit at present with the development of specific measures identified in Action Plan 2005-2007 of the Energy Efficiency Strategy for Spain” for the Building and Household and Office Automation.

In this sense, the main action guidelines both current and future are the ones proposed by Directive 2002/91/EC, on the energy efficiency in buildings, and Directive 2006/32/EC, on end-use energy efficiency and energy services.
