The Spanish State issued Law 8/2013 to establish the basic regulatory framework for building rehabilitation and urban regeneration, aiming to ensure sustainable urban development and the right to dignified housing. The legislation mandates the Building Assessment Report, defines obligations for property owners, and sets rules for urban management to overcome structural deficiencies in the existing building stock. By aligning with European energy efficiency directives, the law seeks to revitalize the construction sector, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote social and economic cohesion through integrated urban interventions.
