THE DUAL DIGITAL AND ENERGY TRANSITION OF ITALIAN BUILDING HERITAGE

Seminar by MIBA – Milan International Building Alliance
Under the patronage of ANAPI – National Association of Professional Property Managers
CPD credits: ANAPI, Orders of Architects, Engineers, Surveyors, Industrial Experts

 

The new EPBD IV Directive, published in the Official Journal of the European Union on May 8, 2024, aims at decarbonizing the European building stock by 2050. Member States must transpose the directive by May 29, 2026, and prepare national renovation plans to make residential and non-residential, public and private buildings zero-emission. Residential buildings must reduce primary energy use by at least 16% by 2030 and by 20-22% by 2035 compared to 2020 levels. For non-residential buildings, energy performance requirements are set for at least 16% of buildings by 2030 and 26% by 2033. New buildings must be zero-emission by 2030, with an earlier deadline of 2028 for public buildings. This commitment represents a significant challenge for our country and will have a major impact on the real estate market.

The workshop aims to highlight the scale of the challenge facing our country and the repercussions on the real estate market of a massive renovation process of the national building stock.

MEDITERRANEAN DATA CENTER MEETING

Digital&green: the twin transition opportunities

The Puglia region is renowned for its extremely high production of energy from renewable sources, primarily wind and solar power. Geologically, it is also an area with very low seismic activity. Additionally, Bari serves as one of the crucial hubs of the European digital infrastructure, with its north-south and east-west submarine backbones.

All these factors naturally position Puglia as an ideal location for new data centers, ensuring them a secure supply of green energy capable of making one of the most energy-intensive infrastructures carbon-neutral and environmentally sustainable.

FORUM SMART HOSPITALITY 

Hotels and hospitality businesses facing the challenge of the green and digital transition

The world of hotels and tourist accommodation facilities, in general, represents one of the economic sectors most naturally inclined to the use of new technologies applied to buildings and their occupants.

Achieving high standards of energy efficiency, for example, not only significantly impacts management costs but also serves as an attractive factor for an increasingly environmentally conscious audience. Similarly, the quality of entertainment provided to hotel guests is a distinctive element, especially in facilities designed to host events and conferences.

CONSTRUCTION 4.0 

Building for climate

The challenges posed by the energy transition require a step change in the decision-making and construction processes related to the construction industry. The possibility of creating synergies among supply chain actors is a necessary response to adequately respond to the changes we will experience in the coming years. It is necessary to rethink a new sustainability-oriented construction model supported by processes of innovation, industrialization and digitalization. The main actors in this process are the builders, who today represent the engine of change. The KeepZero space aims to be a place to debate the future of the construction industry, to bring out the entrepreneurial skills of the area and the companies that are investing in innovation and can contribute to change.
