Abstract
This article presents a study of different housing blocks in the city of Soria and
Cadiz Spain, in which effective interventions are carried out not only for energy
savings within the requirements of the Technical Building Code in Spain, but also
for system saving in the short term. Various thicknesses of several types of
insulation are analyzed, evaluating the resulting energy savings for each case, but
not without leaving aside the economic aspect of the installation; and obtaining
asymptotic values, in which the marginal cost of the investment will not be as
variable. The article tries to exemplify how, by means of small interventions,
savings could be high. They can be applied in many different types of buildings
and contribute to reduce the demand of energy; is a breakthrough in the study of
