Spaniards rate the quality of life in their homes at 6,8, according to the latest edition of the study I Want to Live Better, prepared by the National Association of Ceramic and Construction Materials Distributors (Andimac) and published by Take care of your home to ensure comfort within the home in a year marked by the pandemic. The employers' association regrets that nearly 40% of Spanish homes do not contribute to the well-being of the people who live there. Overall, the level of satisfaction is not even notable, which should be a cause for concern in this "indoor year," in which the home has been people's primary refuge.

A Andimac This discontent does not surprise him, given the aging of the Spanish housing stock, which is aging at an annual rate of 2%, while building renovation affects only 0,15%. Thus, currently, 83% of homes in Spain are over 18 years old, which is reflected in terms of comfort and well-being.

Well, the employers' association argues that this crisis has highlighted a problem affecting an increasingly large portion of Spaniards: our housing stock has not aged well and does not meet the needs, values, social and personal expectations of well-being. Thus, acoustic and thermal comfort and ergonomics receive the lowest scores; while lighting comfort, accessibility, and energy savings are the categories in which Spaniards give the highest scores. By gender, the Report shows that women are less satisfied than men with their home situation. Likewise, those who live with a family or as a couple are those who show the greatest well-being within their homes.

In this context, the employers' association stresses the urgency of launching a National Rehabilitation and Reform Plan Regarding the distribution of European funds, it supports a single model that can be managed by the communities and easily extrapolated to the territorial level, and accompanied by incentive measures for users in both fiscal and financial matters.

According to general secretary of Andimac, Sebastián Molinero"This Plan would not only contribute to strengthening one of the main drivers of Spain's reconstruction and job creation, but would also improve the quality of life for Spaniards, which is the goal of all public administration."
