It also specifies the distribution of funds from fines related to energy performance non-compliance, with a significant portion allocated to the Madeira Autonomous Region.
Overall, the decree aims to enhance the energy performance of buildings in Madeira, aligning with European energy efficiency directives and promoting sustainable development practices. It emphasises the need for effective energy certification systems to drive improvements in building energy efficiency and contribute to the region’s environmental goals.
