Energy Redevelopment Interventions are a much-discussed Topic, Especially in Recent Years. Recently, among the most Requested Interventions are Installation of Thermal frames, thermal insulation, the replacement of the old boiler with a condensing model, the Underfloor Heating System, and Installation of autonomous Energy Production systems, such as ‘Photovoltaic System.
It should be underlined that Energy Requalification Interventions not only reduce Energy Costs but also improve environmental sustainability and the comfort of internal environments, increasing the value of the entire property.

Energy Requalification: Definition
Energy Requalification refers to the set of interventions aimed at reducing the energy consumption of a building or structure, through the adoption of technological and design solutions that improve Energy Efficiency. These Interventions Can Include:
- Installation of Photovoltaic Systems
- Thermal Insulation
- The Replacement of Windows and Doors
- Controlled Ventilation
- The Adoption of Low Energy Consumption Heating and Cooling Systems.
The Final Objective of Energy Requalification Interventions is to Reduce Energy Costs, improve environmental sustainability, and increase the comfort of internal environments.
What are Energy Redevelopment Interventions?
Before Implementing any type of Energy Requalification Intervention in the home, it is necessary to understand which are the points of greatest heat exchange between the Internal Environment and the External Environment of the home itself: usually, first of all, it is the fixtures that cause a notable dispersion of heat during the winter and of fresh air during the summer. In any case, the most common Interventions Concern:
Installation of Thermal Windows:
These break the temperature exchange between the inside and the outside and consequently, in winter they allow you to keep the house warm as they do not allow the external cold to enter and the internal heat to exit, while in summer they do exactly the opposite. This is due to the materials used for the structure which can be PVC, high Thermal Resistance Material, wood, or aluminum with thermal break. The choice of glass is also very important, which must be low-emissivity if possible and must be equipped with a double or triple chamber with argon gas. This structure allows for a very low exchange of temperatures between inside and outside and therefore reduces energy consumption for heating and cooling the home;
The Thermal Coat:
This can be done externally or internally. The second solution is preferable when you live in a condominium or when it is not possible to do otherwise due to the shape of the house. The coat consists of covering the external walls to prevent external temperatures from entering or covering the internal walls to retain internal heat. Furthermore, it is possible to thermally insulate the ceiling.
Replacing Old Boiler With Condensing Model:
this type of boiler allows you to recover the water vapor produced by the fume exhaust in order to put it into circulation and therefore contribute to heating the environment, with considerable energy savings.
Underfloor Heating System, Possibly Combined with Condensing Boiler:
In Fact, the underfloor system allows for real living comfort because there will no longer be any parts of the house where it is colder than others. The uniform distribution of the pipes under the floor ensures that a pleasant environment is created. On the contrary, with a traditional system, it is necessary to bring the water to a temperature between 60ยฐC-70ยฐC. With a floor system, the temperatures are much lower, around 40ยฐC, which means that less fuel will be needed to heat the home. From an aesthetic point of view you will not see anything, no radiators, convectors, or anything else that could ruin the aesthetics of the house, while from an economic point of view, the benefits are many. AND! It is also worth knowing that the underfloor air conditioning system can also be used in summer for air conditioning;
Installation of Autonomous Energy Production Systems, Such as Photovoltaic Systems:
Photovoltaic System, In Fact, allows you to produce electricity, allowing greater autonomy from the national grid and significant savings on your bill.
Heat Pump:
This is Particularly Versatile solution appreciated by consumers as it is perfectly compatible with Underfloor Heating System. Furthermore, since its operation requires only electricity, it is the ideal solution for homes with Photovoltaic Systems.
Energy Requalification Interventions, Especially if they allow you to reach a very high class, including B and A, also offer the opportunity to increase the value of your property, both in the case in which you decide to sell and in the case to whom you wish to rent the same. Precisely for this reason, more and more families are deciding to intervene in properties. Obviously, this saving must also be combined with the choice of a supplier who offers competitive rates, so as to be able to benefit as much as possible from these works.
Energy Requalification Bonus
Although with some changes, in Italy there are still Home Bonuses available for 2024 provided for by Latest Budget Law. Naturally, one of the key issues that the Government intends to protect is the environmental one: In Fact, all structures and systems defined as “Green” continue to be subject to concessions.
This is Green House Purchase Bonus: we are talking about a measure that provides for a 50% VAT deduction for the purchase of homes with Energy class A or B.
