As Malta joins the global push towards sustainable energy, it’s now raising the bar for energy performance in buildings. This is a crucial decision for such a small island nation.
Starting from July 1st, 2024, new buildings and major renovations must meet minimum energy performance standards to obtain planning permission.
Arch. & Civil Eng. Luca Caruso, founder of Novanta, delves into the new regulations, explaining how they can be used as a design tool rather than a mere requirement.
The discussion covers a range of topics, from reducing energy demand and promoting renewable energy to optimizing building envelopes and HVAC systems.
This initiative provides a clearer roadmap for residential developers, architects, and homeowners to enhance building efficiency, contribute to sustainable development goals, and improve indoor comfort right from the initial planning stages.
This event, organized by the Maltese Chamber for Construction Managers (MCCM) and recorded live on June 12th, 2024, at the BCA Hub in Valletta, Malta, offers valuable insights for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
