Why it is important the participation of a Federation, like
FINCO, in a wide international initiative like
Eco-Building Club project ?
The main point
![Page 11: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The easy answer
Because the involvement of the Federation and the connected Associations in the
environment initiatives is great
and
Finco is working a lot in order to support good initiatives able to:

Finco’s Strategy for the Environment
• Reduce the CO2 emission during the production process
• Reduce the CO2 emission and energy consumption in house management
• Develop the culture of saving energy and natural resources
• Improve construction quality • Promote a sustainable development of
construction sector
![Page 13: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Why the construction sector is interested to environment
The construction sector is one of the main subject in the environment field because:
• It uses up non renewable resources
• It influences the availability of soil
• It consumes energy during all its life cycle: production of materials, management of the buildings, demolition and reuse of raw and secondary materials
![Page 14: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
What else pushes the sector
The emergency at environment level it is important, but there is something else:
• High energy costs
• Need to apply Kyoto Protocol
• Need to work for new goal of “20-20-20 Strategy”
• Will to follow a new business
![Page 15: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The 20-20-20 Strategy
On march the 9th 2007 the UE Council decided a new object to reach in environment field by 2020:
1. Grow up to 20% the renewable energies
2. Grow up to 20% the energy efficiency
3. Reduce of 20% of gasses that produce global warming
4. Grow up to 20% the production of bio-fuel
![Page 16: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

What happens in Italy
In Italy the strategy to fight pollution and save energy in building sector started long time ago
because:
• Italy imports more than 85% of energy from abroad
and because
• More than 40% of national energy is used in buildings (materials production and displacement, building construction, management, demolition, etc.)
![Page 17: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Italy: Energy saving Legislation/1
• Law 373/1976
(Thermal Insulation, maximum power of installations)
• Law 10/1991
(Save and rational use of energy)
• Decree July 2005(Regulation of energy consumption throw energy dispersion
levels - application of L. 10/91)
![Page 18: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Italy: Energy saving Legislation/2
• Legislative Decree 192/2005(National implementation of European Directive 2002/91/CE - Energy
Performance of Buildings)
• Legislative Decree 311/2006(Integration of D.L.vo 192/05 – It introduced a mandatory energy
certification of buildings)
• Presidential Decree 59/2009(Calculation and minimum building energy performance )
• Regulation 26 June 2009(Guide Line to certify energy performance of buildings)
![Page 19: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Italy: Energy saving Legislation/3
• Financial Law 2007 and 2009(Economic support to energetic renew of building- tax reduction of 55%
and VAT of 10% on materials)
• Local Regulation(Regions and Cities -188- approved buildings regulation to improve the
energy quality of cities)
• “Project House 2” - April 2009(Agreement between Government and Regions to demolish houses and
rebuild them with an increase of 35% of volume if low energy houses)
![Page 20: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

What’s wrong
It is very difficult to check the application of new legislation and to verify the real saving of energy results.
• The Official National Census in 2001 declared that in Italy there were (at that time) 27.268.880 of houses (29,4 Million in 2008)
• 2/3 of them were built before the Law 373/76 (without any criteria to save energy)
• The medium energy consumption in a house is about 160Kwh/m2; in 2020 for the new house will be required to be 80 Kwh/m2
• In the next years there will be less than 300.000 new houses per year (less than the 1% of the existing houses): this means that to reach “20-20-20” goal (128 Kwh/m2) it is necessary also to renew 600.000 houses per year (*)

The Crisis/1
After ten years of growth, in 2008, the construction sector started a negative trend:
In 2009 the decrease in construction investment is expected between -8,1% and -9,4% (*)
The reduction is more or less the same in all the construction sectors: New private houses, Retrofit (old houses), New public buildings, New private building
In 2009 the decrease of building material production is expected between -18% and -34% (*) (it depends on the products)
![Page 22: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
The Crisis/2
What is going to happen in 2010?
The decrease in construction investment is expected between -5,8 % and – 7,1% (*)
With a wide application of the “Project House 2” the decrease could be between – 2,6 % and – 3,9 % (*)
For sure investments in retrofit, in save energy measures and installation of renewable energy sources will lead the trend

23
Eco- building to overcome the Crisis
The crisis numbers and the needs of the environment (and the people health) can be combined for a positive change of the situation:
• It is clear the political will to overcome the crisis and to answer to environment demand coming at national and international level
• It is clear the importance of Mass Media to help people to better understand the situation
• It is clear the support that Universities, Agencies for Energies, Research Institutes etc. can give to develop new tools
• It is clear a new role that Designers, Contractors, Materials Producers, Certifiers can have in the future on these topics
![Page 24: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Solutions and limits
To overcome the crisis and improve energy performance of buildings the “must” is INNOVATION of: products, processes, systems.
The Italian manufactures because of:
• enterprise size (small and medium)
• strong link with the local market
• a not easy access to credit bank
have some difficulties to invest in innovation, even if…..
A lot of them do!
![Page 25: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
The new market of energy saving/1
To save energy it is important to act on the different parts of the existing buildings because the best performance is of the whole system
In the last five years
33% of the Italian families did something to improve the energy consumption in their houses (replacement of windows, roofs, insulations of walls, installation of solar and photovoltaic panels etc.)
![Page 26: 1 “Ecobuilding Club” Panorama of the Italian situation in Ecobuilding field Anna Danzi FINCO The Federation of Italian Building Material Producers International](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e035503460f94aee144/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
The new market of energy saving/2
In the next 5-10 years a recent research showed that (*):
• 23 Millions of windows are going to be changed
• 140 Millions of walls are going to be improved (coats, curtain walls, insulating plasters etc)
• 300 Millions of roofs are going to be renewed
• 424 Millions of attics are going to be improved
• 15 Millions of installations will be substituted
