The deductions are the same as the renovation bonus (50% for the first home, 36% for the second), but it is mandatory that the new fixtures guarantee one reduction of thermal dispersion. To obtain the facilitation, the windows must comply with specific parameters of Thermal transmittance (UW)which vary according to the climatic zone where the property is located.
