As many as 1.5 million Irish homes are considered energy inefficient and require upgrade work between now and 2050. Retrofitting our homes and businesses is not only critical to reach our climate targets, it can also improve our health and wellbeing, reduce fuel poverty, and create sustainable construction jobs across the country.
As the Programme for Government commits to retrofitting 500,000 homes to a BER rating of B2 by 2030, and as the EU is about to launch its Renovation Wave initiative, the conference will explore what is needed to deliver the renovation wave in Ireland

“If Austria raises considerable funds from the EU Recovery and Resilience Fund, which is endowed with a record sum of € 750 billion, for building renovation, what could we achieve with it? The EU states an investment requirement of € 185 billion for energy renovation. Spending money in a targeted manner also needs a plan, and Austria is now calling for one.”

The concept of Smart and Energy Efficient Buildings aims to replace the standard building systems. The concept has gained the support of various involved interested parties coming from the public and private sector.
Specifically, and according to the report published by IDATE DigiWorld: “Smart home and smart building market” [April 2017], smart buildings are an expected growing market with a moderate growth of 15% between 2015 and 2025. Translating the percentage into volume, the installed base of Smart Home and Smart Building devices will grow from 233 to over 980 million units by 2025.
In this frame, GIZ and INZEB are organising an online event entitled “Smart & Energy Efficient Buildings” within the framework of REDay2020. The perspectives and the frame for smart and energy-efficient buildings in Europe, as well as the strategies, policies and technology developments in Greece are the main topics to be presented and discussed during the event.
