«Reduce the role of tax deductions», such as ecobonus and superbonus, and create «a market for white certificates for the civil residential sector». It is one of the ways indicated by the Structural Budget Plan to incentivize interventions energy efficiency and achieve, without yet weighing on the state coffers, the objectives of the European directive on Green homes. THE white certificates they are negotiable securities that certify the achievement of specific thresholds energy saving and are essentially valid for the industrial sector: if it were decided to replicate it for the private propertiesit would practically allow houses that they pollute less to sell their certifications to whom pollutes more.
Objectives of the Green Homes Directive
There green homes directiverecalls the PSB, sets a binding target for the reduction of average consumption of primary energy of the entire residential real estate stock, i.e. a savings of at least the 16 percent compared to 2020 by 2030, of which the 55 percent to be achieved in 43 percent of buildings with worse performance.
An objective which in the Plan is defined as «particularly challenging for Italy, whose real estate park is constituted for the 70 percent from homes with the worst energy performance and for the 60 percent from buildings constructed before the approval of the law on energy saving of buildings (law 373/1976)”.
Improvements in energy consumption
The document highlights that over the years, i energy consumption have improved: based on the average of Energy performance certificatesdecreased by 6.2 percent between 2020 and 2024. «In this direction, Italy intends to adopt a series of new measures, which, without producing effects on public finances, can remove information and administrative barriers and support the decarbonisationtriggering virtuous mechanisms for the private investments», is underlined by citing first of all the creation of a market for white certificates for the civil residential sector to encourage more efficient interventions and reduce the role of tax deductions.
Social sustainability and measures for energy poverty
To ensure «equity and social sustainability» of the measure, reflection is also underway on the possibility of introducing mechanisms rewards for interventions carried out by families in conditions of energy povertyspecifies the document, still recalling that «specific resources, including those that will be provided by the Social Climate Fundwill finance the adoption of measures to mitigate the social impactsas well as for the reduction of energy poverty and the mobility povertyassociated with the profound transformations of ecological and energy transition».
Measures to promote energy efficiency
To encourage theenergy efficiencythe government then thinks about «making the ‘Information System on Energy Performance Certificates‘» and to facilitate interventions energy saving“through changes to the condominium regulations”.
