Building standards
The first energy-saving requirements began to influence housing.
Noise Insulation estimated
Voices, television and music through separating walls and floors
How requirements evolved
Sound insulation depended mainly on construction type and any rules applicable to the building.
Separating elements: R ≥45 dBA
Historical benchmark — not an estimated value for this building.
Historical and current acoustic values are not directly comparable.
Protected rooms: DnT,A ≥50 dBA
Footsteps, moving furniture and objects falling on the floor above
How requirements evolved
Sound insulation depended mainly on construction type and any rules applicable to the building.
Impact noise: Lₙ ≤80 dBA
Historical benchmark — not an estimated value for this building.
Historical and current acoustic values are not directly comparable.
Impact noise: L’nT,w ≤65 dB
The plausible construction-year range crosses an acoustic-regulation boundary. Actual performance may correspond to either period.
- Built in 1981
- Plausible year range: 1976–1986
- Construction-year confidence: medium
- Above-average cadastral category — shown as context, not used to change the rating
- Building chronology: consistent
Before NBE-CA — The building predates Spain’s first general acoustic standard, so separating walls and floors were not designed under a common national sound-insulation framework.
Expected range from Construction Profile chronology and regulation period; actual wall, floor and building-services performance has not been measured.
Thermal Insulation estimated
How well the original building envelope is likely to retain indoor heat
How requirements evolved
Whole-building heat-loss limits applied.
No single wall and roof limit represents this period.
Roof ≤1.40 W/m²K
Light façade ≤1.20 W/m²K (≤200 kg/m²)
Heavy façade ≤1.80 W/m²K (>200 kg/m²)
Historical benchmark — not an estimated value for this building.
Roof ≤0.40 W/m²K
Walls ≤0.49 W/m²K
How well the building is likely to limit summer heat from direct sunlight
Likely to lose heat relatively quickly and require more heating than newer buildings.
The plausible construction-year range crosses a thermal-regulation boundary. Actual performance may correspond to either period.
- Built in 1981
- Plausible year range: 1976–1986
- Construction-year confidence: medium
- Building chronology: consistent
- Above-average cadastral category — shown as context, not used to change the rating
Decree 1490/1975 — Spain’s first broad energy-saving rules began limiting heat transmission through the building envelope, but requirements were modest by modern standards.
Summer protection is a comparative building-level estimate. Window size and orientation, external blinds, ventilation, the exact apartment floor and air conditioning are not yet known.
Expected original envelope standard. Current windows, facade and roof insulation, thermal bridges and undocumented works are unknown.
