The 28th International Passive House Conference, held in Essen in April 2026, further established itself as one of the leading meeting points for professionals committed to the sustainable transformation of the built environment. Under the theme 'Transforming with Energy Efficiency', the event brought together researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to discuss solutions aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving building performance.

In this context, the European DTERBIM project took part in the conference to present its progress in the combined use of BIM, artificial intelligence and digital twins as decision-support tools throughout the entire asset lifecycle. The project’s presence highlighted a growing trend towards the integration of digital methodologies and high-energy-efficiency standards, particularly in renovation processes.
