The Home Labeling Program can now be implemented in the country

The National Secretariat of Energy launched and approved resolution 5/2023, which implements the National Housing Labeling Program (Pronev). This, after a meticulous review of the energy needs that the home requires for heating, cooling, water heating and lighting for a period of one year per square meter, issues a label that shows the efficiency of the construction in question.

A) Yes, the 24 districts of Argentina (23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires) are in a position to abide by the extent that will allow to know the energetic efficiency in the construction and remodeling of the housesboth houses and apartments. This Housing Tagging Program It has a scale similar to that of household appliances, in which “A” marks greater efficiency and goes through the other letters, until reaching “G”, with a decrease in this quality.

To determine the energy efficiency of a home, professionals use an online tool from the Housing Tagging Program, the National Home Labeling Computer Application. With it, the pertinent evaluation can be carried out, by considering key factors such as the orientation of the house, cooling systems, heating, water heating, lighting and air leaks, among others.

As a parameter, according to a report from the Ministry of Ecological Transition of Spain, it is known that a home with an “E” label or lower consumes 90% more energy than a category “A” home. Based on this relationship, it is intended to promote the construction or remodeling of households closer to category “A”, which would result in a reduction in the impact on the climate and savings in electricity and gas bills for final consumers.
