In Spain only 20% of buildings they have one energy certification between A and D, which represents 80% energy inefficiency. In this way, the rehabilitation of housing in this aspect seems fundamental.
Faced with the challenge proposed from Europe to rehabilitate some seven million homes before 2050, solutions such as Kokono arrive. It is a digital solution that focuses on reduce CO2 emissions and minimize energy consumption of the real estate park.
The initiative is especially relevant if we take into account that the demand for housing with good energy efficiency has increased by 30%. According to Kokono, a good rehabilitation of a house allows save up to 75% in energy consumption. Pelayo Muñoz, co-founder of Kokono, points out that, “Our intention is for it to be an autonomous solution so that each owner can analyze their properties independently and, thanks to our digital support, make the best decision in their home renovation project.” “The process is achieved through an algorithm, which simulates different solutions to identify the most relevant rehabilitation”, Add.
Thus, Kokono always seeks to identify the most viable and least expensive rehabilitation project. To do this, through a digital platform, Kokono calculates the impact on energy efficiency and savings, the potential aid that the owner can access and the revaluation of the property once the rehabilitation process is complete.
This project arises to contribute to the urgent resolution of the environmental impact generated by industry and real estate and it is the first end-to-end management platform for the diagnosis, planning and execution of green rehabilitation of residential assets. Broadly speaking, thanks to its software, Kokono offers an advisory service that facilitates decision-making for large holders, identifying which is the best option for renovating their properties.
Rehabilitation of 500 tons of CO2
To date, the startup Kokono has diagnosed 256 properties and has supported renovations worth 500 tons of CO2. Under the motto ‘No planet no home‘ the company offers a pioneering service that is born from the concern and predisposition of its founders to achieve lasting sustainability within
of the real estate industry that has a positive impact on future generations. Pelayo Muñoz, co-founder of Kokono, affirms that “Kokono is an innovative solution that has a positive impact on society”. “Through our platform, in addition to improving the comfort and sustainability of the properties, we also inform the owners of the revaluation of their assets and the economic savings of energy consumption” Munoz adds.
For his part, Benjamín Mauret, co-founder and CEO of Kokono, assures that “Thanks to the rehabilitation of buildings, we contribute to the rehabilitation of the real estate park and give the industry the opportunity to be part of the solution and not the problem”. Furthermore, he adds that “To carry out a rehabilitation project we take into account the characteristics of the asset, we carry out a market analysis and we value the financial metrics of the property in question”.
“We work under the premise of best value for money, we identify the investment that guarantees a greater impact at the lowest possible cost. Our mission is to simplify and democratize energy rehabilitation within the urgent energy transition” Mauret adds.
Solutions such as the one proposed by Kokono are very relevant, especially if one takes into account that the real estate park is responsible for 36% of CO2 emissions and 40% of energy consumption. These figures highlight the need to speed up the energy transition towards a more sustainable and planet-friendly model.
