Housing and Energy Efficiency: How It Impacts Your Daily Life

Can you imagine living in a home that keeps you warm in winter, cool in summer, and significantly lowers your energy and climate control bills? That’s exactly what an energy-efficient home offers. In a privileged setting like Mallorca—where sun, sea, and tranquillity meet a growing environmental awareness—choosing an energy-efficient home is not just a smart move… it’s a long-term commitment.

More and more buyers today value homes that are not only beautiful or well-located but also built to improve their quality of life over time. That’s where energy efficiency comes into play.

Why Does Energy Efficiency Matter?

According to Spain’s Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE), 40% of the country’s energy consumption comes from buildings. That means your housing choice has a direct impact—on both the planet and your wallet.

An efficient home consumes less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, makes better use of natural resources, and reduces CO₂ emissions. But beyond the stats, what truly matters is how this translates into your everyday life.

Real Impact on Your Everyday Life

Take Clara and Pablo, a couple working from home on the Mallorcan coast. Since moving into a new-build property with an A energy rating, they’ve experienced major benefits:
• They’ve reduced their electricity bill by 65%.
• No need to use air conditioning during the day.
• Their home maintains a stable and comfortable temperature all year round.
• They charge their electric car at home thanks to solar panels.
These benefits aren’t exclusive—they’re now standard in many new property developments in Mallorca, including those we offer at Sunset Group.

🔍 How Can You Tell If a Home Is Energy Efficient?

If you’re thinking about buying a home in Mallorca, pay attention to these key features:
Energy certificate rated A or B (check listings or ask the developer).
High-quality thermal insulation in walls, ceilings, and windows.
Double or triple glazing to improve comfort and block out noise.
Efficient systems like aerothermal heating, solar energy, or underfloor heating.
LED lighting and low-consumption appliances.

Mallorca: An Ideal Place for Sustainable Living

With its mild climate, high solar exposure, and strong focus on sustainable development, Mallorca is especially well-suited for energy-efficient living. Urban planning laws now require all new builds to meet nZEB (nearly zero-energy building) standards, making new home in Mallorca is a solid investment in efficiency.

At Sunset Group, we believe in homes that combine design, comfort, and sustainability. Visit our blog to see examples and learn more about the financial advantages of these properties.
