When the cold weather arrives, keeping the workplace properly heated isn’t just a matter of comfort. In many cases, it’s key for productivity, safety, and also for complying with current regulations.
In Spain, heating in industrial and commercial spaces—such as factories, warehouses, workshops, or logistics centres—is regulated by the RITE, the regulation that sets out how thermal installations in buildings must operate.
And although there isn’t a new regulation specifically for 2026, current requirements have already changed. Knowing them will help you stay ahead, avoid issues, and make safer decisions for your business.
What the current regulations establish
Since 2021, the Regulation on Thermal Installations in Buildings (RITE), updated by Royal Decree 178/2021, has been in force. This regulation sets the minimum conditions that heating, cooling, and domestic hot water systems must meet in all types of buildings.
Below are the most relevant points for business environments:
1. High energy efficiency
Equipment must make the most of the energy it consumes. This means higher performance and lower consumption.
In practice: older systems with obsolete technologies or without proven efficiency no longer meet today’s criteria in new builds or major refurbishments.
2. Priority for clean or electric energy
RITE gives preference to electric systems or those compatible with renewable sources, especially indoors or in enclosed spaces.
Beyond compliance, these solutions also help reduce emissions, improve comfort, and minimise maintenance.
3. Zoned temperature control
In medium-to-large installations, it’s required that temperature can be regulated independently depending on each zone or use. This prevents overheating empty areas and improves overall efficiency.
Systems with thermostats, automatic control, or timers are increasingly recommended.
4. Technical documentation and maintenance
The regulation requires each system to have its technical data sheet, maintenance manual, and the corresponding certificates. This documentation is essential for passing inspections, applying for permits, or proving regulatory compliance.
Do you need to replace everything?
Not necessarily. But if you’re using old equipment with high consumption, no temperature control, or missing technical documentation, it may be time to review and plan an upgrade.
Today there are portable, electric, high-performance solutions that require no construction work or fixed installation—and that already meet all legal requirements.
