What defines the energy efficiency of a large building? What role do these buildings play in the energy transition? What difference do efficient buildings make in meeting environmental goals and in the comfort and safety of users? How can users play an active role in energy production? What technology is already being made available to contribute to these goals of the European Green Deal? Will we be able to meet the metrics in the construction field in time? How can these buildings contribute to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles? What are the future trends in the field of efficient buildings?
These were some of the topics discussed, taking into account the current situation in Portugal and Europe in the context of decarbonization and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, with some metrics needing to be met by 2030.
