households have 18 million unoccupied rooms

in English households rooms there are 18 million unemployed. Ie 18 million spaces without a specific purpose, yet account for light and air conditioning costs, and that once represented a cost on the purchase of housing. A research firm ACR and the University of Navarra reveals the existence of this huge park unused space, because the prototype of family has changed dramatically in Spain but not the type of housing that is still building.

sociological and statistical analysis by Professor Alban d'Entremont, director of the Department of Geography and Regional Planning at the University of Navarra, on the relationship between housing types and size households in Spain, reveals the huge imbalance between the current household composition and the traditional way of building houses.

costs empty space

This study shows that in Spain there are 18,000,000 of unoccupied rooms, ie, the families have larger houses than they need. Most of the houses fits the model of English families of other times, when the average number of children was between 2 and 4.

Maintaining these "empty" for these families is an important economic cost for maintenance in respect of the community, electricity, heating, water, etc. The study of ACR and the University of Navarra estimated that this expenditure amounted to 2,000 million euros annually expense that would be avoided if not taken to keep these spaces empty and unused conditioned.

the project agreed

In this context, ACR has released the project agreed that housing poses a future without the rigidity of the distribution of existing housing with a new concept of flexible and adaptable housing to the changing needs of each family type. Is based on a transparent structure, so that both the building and housing are now ready to be modified and adapted to possible future changes in the program.

CHORD is a building energy efficient, A-rated and designed according to international guidelines for sustainability. The project has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and the Government of Navarra.
