The initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Public Works, Housing, and Mobility, will focus on nine residential blocks to optimize habitability conditions, energy efficiency, and property accessibility. The maximum execution period is set at seven months.
Key interventions include replacing current electric water heaters with monobloc aerothermal systems to enhance domestic hot water efficiency. Additionally, new PVC window frames with low-emissivity solar control glass and roller shutters will be installed to improve thermal performance.
The project also includes reinforcing facade thermal insulation with thermal paints, following preliminary sanitation and wall repair work. Specifically, block C, comprising 40 homes, will undergo waterproofing and thermal insulation improvements on its roof.
These combined measures are expected to achieve a reduction of over 60% in non-renewable primary energy consumption.
Regarding accessibility, seven elevators and three stairlifts will be installed across the nine blocks. Three elevators and two stairlifts will be placed in the group of five blocks (40 homes), while the remaining four blocks will each receive one elevator and one stairlift.
Pedestrian access points will also be enhanced, with the adaptation of existing ramps and the addition of new accessible ramps leading to the entrances, thereby facilitating movement for people with reduced mobility.
This action aligns with the commitments undertaken by the Government of the Canary Islands, through the Canary Housing Institute, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, financed by the European Union via Next Generation EU funds.
With the technical approval of this project, drafted by the UTE 5 VIV Bonilla González Toro Rivero, the Canary Housing Institute takes a significant step towards modernizing these 96 public housing units in Ciudad del Campo, aiming to reduce building energy consumption and improve overall habitability conditions.
