Statistical survey of building activity - ISTAT / ISPAT

ISTAT survey - 'Statistical survey of building permits'.

Collects information on new buildings, residential and non-residential, or volume extensions to existing buildings. The statistics on building permits constitute an important information base for the knowledge of the structural characteristics and dynamics of residential and non-residential building activity and comply with the obligations set out in EU Regulation 2019/2152 (EBS) and EU Implementing Regulation 2020/1197.
The statistical survey of building permits is conducted monthly and collects information on the main characteristics of projects for new (including demolished and entirely rebuilt), residential and non-residential buildings or volume extensions of pre-existing buildings.
Partitions, changes of use, which do not involve an increase in volume of the building, are not covered by the ISTAT survey.

The survey is included in the National Statistical Programme, which brings together all the statistical surveys of public interest.

ISPAT survey - "Statistical survey of interventions on existing buildings".

This survey, unlike the ISTAT survey, aims to collect information on renovated surfaces (residential and non-residential), by type of intervention (attics, re-roofing, fixtures), energy efficiency interventions, etc.

It is present not only in the Provincial Statistical Programme, which defines the framework for the development, production and dissemination of official statistics in the Province of Trento, but also in the National Statistical Programme, with the aim of completing the information on building interventions also for the part concerning renovations.

The holders of building permits (or design engineers), will complete the respective survey form (Residential or Non-Residential Form for the ISTAT survey, or PAT Form ED006 for renovation work for the provincial ISPAT survey) and send it to the relevant municipality.

The Trentino municipalities must send to ISPAT on a monthly basis, within the month following the month of collection, the models received from the holders of building permits or design engineers.

For both surveys, both those relating to new buildings and extensions of residential or non-residential buildings, and those relating to renovation work, if no building permit has been collected in the month of collection, the municipalities must report the 'negative' month using the appropriate Google Form.

The municipality must send the forms via Protocollo Informatico PiTre (code S210) or via PEC (see section Contacts below)
