Intelligent energy and climate strategies
Energy - Buildings - Environment
This year you have the opportunity to present your contribution in one of the three parallel, topic-specific lecture blocks - Energy, Buildings and Environment - and discuss it with international experts during the conference.
Energy
The energy supply of the future must be reliable, user-oriented, environmentally sound, and affordable. At the same time, a fair and socially just transition should be ensured, the EU’s innovative capacity and competitiveness strengthened, and Europe’s position as a global leader in the fight against climate change reinforced.
Buildings
The ongoing implementation of the European climate targets, particularly the requirements for zero-emission buildings and the renovation of existing structures, is forcing the construction sector to undergo a paradigm shift. What is needed are innovative, integrated technical solutions and business models that go beyond renewable energies and fully harness the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in planning, operation, and energy management.
Environment
Preserving a livable environment requires new technological solutions and creative approaches. The focus is on changes in legal frameworks and methods to strengthen the circular economy, as well as on innovative environmental technologies and environmental assessment methods.
Congress topics

Energy systems and conversion technologies
Networks and storage
