Indicators and Data in Spain Regarding Policies and Measures for the Mobilization of Investments into the Renovation of Buildings

Indicators are necessary in the building sector to measure whether the long-term renovation strategies of the European Union Member States deliver the necessary progress towards the transformation of the building stock into a decarbonized one. Policies and measures for the mobilization of investments into the renovation of buildings have been identified as key issues to be addressed in the decarbonization of the building sector. In this chapter, we propose indicators to measure the evolution in Spain of the policies and measures for the mobilization of investments into the renovation of buildings following the European Commission recommendations and directives. We also studied the sources of information available in Spain for the development of these indicators and developed them when there were data. This study allowed us to conclude that in this country, there are not enough data sources to develop relevant indicators that measure progress in policies and measures for the mobilization of investments into buildings renovation. The need to resort to different sources depending on the information required implies a loss of data and lack of accuracy.
