process leads us, up today, to the

consideration of this concept from

the starter phase of design of buil

dings, and also in the manufacture of

the different components that inte

grates the above mentioned buil

dings.

One of the fundamental scopes of

the sustainability is the energetic sa

ving of the buildings. For this mentio

ned energetic saving it is necessary,

the optimization of the thermal beha

viour of the elements which delimited

the internal and external environment.

The new Technical Code of the

Building (CTE) introduces new ther

mal requirements that must be

complying for the closing systems of

the buildings, which determine the

characteristics that must have the

components that integrate it.

The present document analyzes

the above mentioned requirements

for the case of a block of concrete,

marking the premises of design to

obtain an element optimized in his

thermal properties.
