Conference

From Plus Energy Buildings to Climate Neutral Districts

6 November 2024, 10:30 - 17:30
Graz, Austria- Hotel Novapark

Join professionals from all over Europe to discuss PEB results and experiences of the last years, what potential they hold for advancing the decarbonisation of cities, and how they play into the greater policy discourse on ClimateNeutralCities. Highlights on the agenda include:

???? Site Visit to Taggerwerk
Take a tour of Graz's former industrial quarter of Taggerwerk, which is to become climate neutral and turn into a vibrant living quarter solidifying Graz's (AT) role as Climate Pioneer. Key part of the transition of the quarter is the EXCESS PEB, a former feed production silo, turned positive energy building with the help of award-winning multi-functional facade elements.

⏩ The path to Climate Neutral Districts
Hear from FH Technikum Vienna and other expert speakers on different tools, roadmaps and measures to decarbonise districts. We will look at Plus Energy Buildings as a nucleus of Climate Neutral Districts, explore the role of digitaltools and paint a picture of a climatefriendly future by moving from building to district to city level.
