In late 2020, the European Commission unveiled its plans for a ‘renovation wave’ across Europe, aiming for a doubling of the rate of renovations in the next decade. Countries across North-West Europe are now looking for approaches to realize these ambitions.  

The SBE Regional Conference Innovations for the Urban Energy Transition brings professionals and researchers together to discuss the implementation of leading-edge solutions to some of our greatest societal challenges around the energy transition in the building sector. 

The conference is focused on how to achieve a rapid pace of building renovations across Europe.
