IBERSOL | Annual Report 2021

Environmental Performance Photovoltaic Self-Consumption The Energy Performance Regulations for Commercial and Service Buildings (RECS) Law N. 101-D/2020 of 7 December, establishes the standards applicable to the improvement of their energy perfor- mance and regulates the Buildings Energy Certification System. The regulation for buildings with almost no energy needs, known as NZEB, applies to new commercial and services buildings whose construction licencing or authorization processes were filed with the competent entities after January 2021. The installation of photovoltaic solar panels has several advantages, namely: - Reducing electricity bills, reducing electrical grid energy con- sumption; - Reducing CO 2 emissions; - Contributing to strengthening Ibersol’s sustainability standing. The Ibersol Group’s projects developed during 2021 or currently in licencing stages have been fitted with photovoltaic centres for pro- ducing electricity, which are installed in restaurant terraces and park- ing lots. Besides the production of electricity, the latter solution pro- vides protection to customers when they park their vehicles. 146
