The Portuguese government has budgeted 123 million euros in order to raise the energy performance of Portuguese buildings, as well as to promote the more efficient use of equipment.
According to what is already known about the State Budget for 2022, there will be more money available for the renovation of buildings and infrastructures, to improve energy efficiency as well as to support the construction of new buildings, with a lower primary energy demand.
This focus on energy efficiency will translate to a 35% reduction in primary energy consumption. This will help to decrease the difficulty many families dealing with the cost of energy, with some new buildings designed to have consumption close to zero in terms of primary energy.
