This stricter target requires buildings, both residential and commercial, to implement advanced energy efficiency solutions and integrate low-carbon technologies. <\/p>\n<p>Buildings are now challenged to renovate their structures to achieve significant energy savings. The target for reducing primary energy consumption has been set at <strong>15 per cent for residential buildings<\/strong> and <strong>7 per cent for non-residential buildings<\/strong> by 2030. The proposed interventions cover a total of 299 million square metres in residential buildings and 64 million in non-residential buildings.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The original version envisaged 9.0 GW of installed capacity in photovoltaic solar energy by 2030, but now the <strong>target has been increased to 20.4 GW<\/strong>, of which 5.5 GW corresponds to decentralised power, reflecting a significant increase in this technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We also aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2045, bringing forward the previous climate neutrality target of 2050, in line with the <strong>Basic Climate Law.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The original document is very long and stipulates many other measures.
