Solar panels, for example, have evolved from a luxury to an essential tool. Their integration into roofs, facades or even pergolas not only reduce energy costs, but also improves the efficiency and aesthetics of buildings, adapting to both modern and traditional designs. On the other hand, wind turbines, although more common in rural or coastal areas, also have a place in urban spaces through compact models such as vertical axis turbines.

These require a prior analysis of wind conditions, but offer clean and constant energy, ideal for complementing other renewable sources.

Geothermal energy, less visible but highly efficient, uses the constant temperature of the ground to heat buildings all year round. Although it requires planning from the early stages of design, the benefits in terms of reduced emissions and energy consumption are unquestionable, especially in larger projects.

It is true that incorporating renewable energy can present challenges related to budgets, regulations or site characteristics. However, with good planning and the right advice, these challenges can be turned into opportunities. In addition, government incentives and policies to support sustainable projects are increasingly facilitating their implementation.
