No. Many traditional homes can be transformed. The important thing is openness to a more conscious transition.

While it is true that the operating costs of building a sustainable home can be 3-15% higher than traditional construction, according to FIABCI, investment recovery begins from the first year and occurs in approximately 10 years.

Building a sustainable home does not require mandatory ecological certification, but compliance with construction efficiency and safety laws and standards (such as the CTE and energy certificate) which are common to conventional constructions. Voluntary certifications (LEED, BREEAM, Passivhaus, EDGE, or VERDE) are an additional tool to demonstrate and ensure high levels of sustainability, but they do not legally condition the construction itself.

The Costa Blanca has a privileged climate,  more than 300 days of sunshine per year reduce the need for heating and artificial lighting and allow better performance of solar panels. Additionally, the Mediterranean breeze is ideal for maintaining a pleasant temperature without the need for air conditioning. It also has green areas and local markets for a healthier lifestyle. Not to mention that the Costa Blanca is a top destination for cyclists, making it unique for sports and commuting while reducing transportation emissions!
