The European Union’s ‘Renovation wave strategy,’ published in 2020, aims to promote renovations of existing buildings at the European level, encouraging the transition to more eco-friendly buildings and the creation of new jobs. Additionally, it aligns the objectives of the sector with the broader decarbonization goals already in place at the community level.

With this measure and those that have followed in the last two years, the European Union, including member countries such as Italy, has set challenging objectives with two predetermined deadlines in 2030 and 2050. These objectives envision, at the end of the process, the overall ‘revamping’ of the national building stock and carbon neutrality.

Smart Building Expo has always paid attention to the concept of ‘Digital Energy,’ namely the energy management of a building and an urban area. With the 2023 edition, this attention naturally extends to the merchandise sector of renewable energy production, which will have a dedicated area and training program.

Entrusted to the prestigious editorial direction of ‘Rinnovabili.it,’ the Renewables Area will address some of the hottest topics in the energy transition, from the role of artificial intelligence to that of Renewable Energy Communities in the national decarbonization process, concluding with the use of low enthalpy geothermal energy.
