Individualise heating and/or hot water supply
If you would like to pay for what you consume individually and set the temperature to your liking, you can decentralise the heating and/or hot water. This decentralisation or individualisation process is easier than you think.

Natural gas, a clean and sustainable form of energy
Due to the pollution in our towns and cities, we need to choose forms of energy that care for both the environment and our health. Today, it is fundamental to reduce traffic, opt for more sustainable forms of transport and substitute oil heating systems that still use dirty and inefficient types of energy such as heating oil or coal.
In this context, natural gas represents the ideal solution as it is a cleaner, less polluting energy source with a lower carbon content compared to all conventional fuels, and helps preserve air quality in our cities, which is currently a matter of great concern.
Natural gas, heating oil and coal emissions
Natural gas drastically reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions, and it does not produce ash or solid particles, meaning that it helps maintain urban air quality.

FAQs about the Horizontal Property Act
How often does the Homeowners’ Association meet?
The homeowners’ association meets once a year. However, special meetings can be arranged if requested by 25% of the owners. Any owner can request that issues of interest to the association (such as natural gas) be studied and decided on at meetings.
What is the minimum approval required to cancel the building’s current energy supply?
In the case of cancelling an energy supply that serves the whole building (such as a central boiler), 3/5 of the owners representing 3/5 of the participation share must say that they want to cancel it.
What is the minimum level of approval required to install natural gas in the building?
In order to get natural gas installed in a building, it will need to be approved at the meeting by one third of the members of the homeowners’ association, representing 1/3 of the participation shares. The cost of the installation may not be passed on to neighbours who have said no, either through abstention or a negative vote. Customers who sign up after the decision can have access as long as they pay the costs for the installation.
