The Sustainable Buildings and Construction Summit 2026 will take place from 20–22 April at EPFL’s SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne. Co-organised with UNEP and GlobalABC, it focuses on inclusive, resilient, and climate-aligned construction, with special attention to developing countries. 

The FuturHist project consortium organises this professional capacity development program on the refurbishment of historic buildings. It offers an online course followed by an in-person Summer Academy in Kraków (09.2026), where participants work on practical heritage retrofit case studies.

This workshop examines how buildings can respond to climate change through resilient ventilation, sustainable cooling, and indoor air quality strategies. Held in Madrid, 21–22 April 2026, it brings together experts to advance healthy, adaptive built environments.

Join the MODERATE Final Conference in Turin and online to explore innovative solutions and key outcomes for advancing smart energy management in European buildings.

On 22 April 2026, Brussels Environment hosts the Be.SHARE Kick-Off Event, unveiling a carbon-neutral heating and cooling network in the North District. The project, backed by the European Urban Initiative (EUI), brings together EU and regional officials, practitioners, and stakeholders.
