This article discusses how the existing regulatory, informative, and financial instruments for the renovation of existing building stock in Spain could be combined to produce a national ‘Building Renovation Passport’, that is expected to be introduced by the European Commission in 2023. This work also argues in favour of integrating the existing tools for the conservation of heritage buildings in the Passport, and surveys current mechanisms used as ‘interfaces’ between heritage conservation and broader, building stock conservation-related instruments that are already in use and could be helpful in the aforementioned integration. The latter would allow all stakeholders to identify those improvement opportunities that are compatible with heritage protection and plan for the staged conservation, restoration, and adaptation of any heritage building, reducing transaction costs and enhancing conservation by reducing the use of existing exemption clauses from compliance with technical regulations. The division of competences between government levels, a risk of excessive technical complexity, and the need to take the urban scale into consideration will emerge as the main challenges for an initiative that could be adapted to the legal framework of other Member States.

本文讨论了如何将西班牙现有建筑存量翻新的现有监管、信息和金融工具结合起来，以生成国家“建筑翻新护照”，预计欧盟委员会将于 2023 年推出该护照。这项工作还主张将现有的保护遗产建筑的工具整合到 Passport 中，并调查当前用作遗产保护与更广泛的建筑存量保护相关工具之间“接口”的机制，这些工具已经在使用并且可能有助于上述整合。后者将允许所有利益相关者确定那些与遗产保护相容的改进机会，并计划对任何遗产建筑进行分阶段保护、修复和改造，通过减少使用现有的免除条款来遵守技术法规，从而降低交易成本并加强保护。政府级别之间的权限划分、技术过度复杂的风险以及考虑城市规模的需要将成为一项可适应其他成员国法律框架的倡议的主要挑战。
