00:00 How and why was the PIXA project created and where does the future of sustainable energy

00:07 development lie?

00:10 Joaquin B. R. Rodriguez, PIXA's Alma Mater, explains.

00:19 PIXA was developed with the economic crisis in mind, with a particular focus on the construction

00:23 sector.

00:24 It was important for us to set up programs to revitalize the sector and, as I said, to

00:28 reorientate towards a more sustainable model.

00:31 The program was digitally implemented in its entirety.

00:34 It has the support of more than 8,000 collaborating companies.

00:38 Not only do these businesses do the work, but they also manage these incentives on behalf

00:42 of the beneficiary.

00:43 Following the PIXA program, we launched new aid campaigns, extending the scope of action

00:52 from sustainable construction to other areas such as transport or smart grids.

00:57 The companies that worked with PIXA expanded and took on other sectors linked to energy

01:03 efficiency in different cities.

01:07 The future lies in continuing to promote energy conservation, not only in buildings but also

01:14 within the urban environment.

01:19 As I said, we must take advantage of all the opportunities offered, integrate renewable

01:23 energies and improve energy supply networks.

01:28 Public buildings, in this case, are a benchmark and must lead the change towards more energy-efficient

01:33 policies and, in general, achieve Europe's objective to be carbon neutral by 2050.
