Asímismo, can not hide, that the intention was to situate to our technicians in a privileged situation in the new processes of construction, signalling them in front of the consumer, like competent technicians in the matter.

The first intention, was to develop technical reports on new constructive systems in which they took part technicians with experience and companies of the sector. All was taking form, until arriving to what is today. A business meeting where consumers, students, technicians and commercial of patents, confluyen in a place during three days to exchange experiences and do negotiations on future works. All this, surrounded of stands commercial, a wide exhibition of products and an interesting program of reports of technicians of recognised prestige.

The expectations the past year covered with a lot of holgura. The true is that we did not expect that in this edition all grew as it has done it, but of 30 companies involved in the evento, have delivered more than 200 accreditations to go in to the reports, etc. The assessment can not be of another way that positive. The edition of the past year, and the one of this, have put in the sight to the Technical Architect like proyectista and coordinator of tasks of rehabilitation, where one of the values added in these processes in the present, is the energetic efficiency and the sustainability, the green rehabilitation, Rehabilitaverde.

On the other hand, the approval of the package of measures where contemplates the energetic certification of buildings and the approval of the State Plan for the Rehabilitation and the Urban Regeneration, have caused a greater interest.

Already are thinking in Rehabilitaverde 2014, collecting proposed of improvement, like adding round tables of experts, add new subjects of debate as it can be the gestión of waste and the reuse of waters. Likewise, We are posing us other proposals like the one to add him to the greater meeting weigh researcher, realising in parallel a congress".

Jose Carlos Claro Ponce, wanted to stand out several points of the edition of this year: "This year it has been the one of the consecration of the evento. It has achieved grow, and improve all the appearances of the previous edition. This edition has been special, because of the approval of the Royal decree 235/2013, in which it approves the basic procedure to certify buildings, the special interest was in the development of the certification of existent buildings, which expected from the year 2008. This document forces to that from 1 June 2013, the buildings that rent or sell have to have an energetic label, similar to the one of the appliances, that will show the consumptions and broadcasts of CO₂, linked to these.

In this matter, the technicians and present companies, have showed a big interest, for seeing an incipiente niche of market, that can be a milestone for the awareness of citizen in maintenance and rehabilitation of the building, and therefore the opening to new works to a sector of the construction reconverted to the current needs".
