DISTRICLIMA, example of success of the public-private partnership model, in construmat 2015

Districlima participated last May 21th in the International Building Exhibition “Beyond Building Barcelona”, ​​popularly known as Construmat. The Managing Director of the Company, Mr David Serrano, participated at one of the Speaker's Corner to discuss the model of public-private partnership in the development of major projects of the City. These projects require on one side vision of public interest, involvement and planning of the Administration, and on the other side the investment capacity, technical expertise and managing agility of the private party. Serrano said that the fundamentals of a project like Districlima are based on the "procurement and ongoing renewal of the social license, i.e. the project can never forget to whom it’s addressed: the consumer-citizens and citizens-citizens." He also explained that the private company should legitimately obtain a reasonable benefit, proportionate to the risks assumed, but that these major projects related to urban transformation and social regeneration, require long-term vision.


In a subsequent intervention, Mr Antoni Sorolla, Housing deputy manager of the City of Barcelona, ​​illustrated his experience in connecting buildings of official protection network Districlima: "all the buildings we do, get the B energy rating, but only those that also connect to Districlima obtain an A ".

 
This year's exhibition was very focused on urban regeneration and rehabilitation, vectors of economic growth in the construction sector, where the implementation of urban heating & cooling networks are a technology-based solution for the transition to a new energy model and the only ones that can link scattered demands with efficient production that integrates various technologies and sources of their own territory.
