Come one, come all . . .

Sustainable Energy Week will soon be upon us.  There are many excellent events and we all have a difficult time make a choice.  Please check out the EUSEW website for events in Brussels and throughout Europe.  EiD would like to recommend:

•  June 26^th  from 09:00 to 13:00, E2B: Innovation in Energy Efficient Buildings and Districts for Smart Built Environment. Its main theme concerns energy efficient technology & innovation research priorities for the years to come in order to meet 3 major challenges: 1) develop systemic, cost-attractive, “geo-clustered” technologies and industrialised solutions for stock renovation; 2) develop interactive and sustainable buildings for Smart Cities; and 3) ensure quality and performance.

•  June 26^th at 14:00 from the Buildings Performance Institute Europe: high-level conference entitled From Ambition to Action: How to best deliver European Building sector policies on the ground.  The event promises to be a lively, debate-oriented and interactive, with high level representatives from the EU Institutions, Member States, industry, civil society and academia to challenge the solidity and strength of the existing vision and initiatives and examine the need for integration, long-term thinking, accelerated practice and better collaboration at all levels. A voting system will be implemented to involve the audience. The event will combine short presentations and panel sessions and be split in two sessions:

Session 1: Towards a comprehensive strategy for buildings at EU level

Session 2: From ambition to action – How to make things happen on the ground.

• June 27^th 09:00 to 13:00 from Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes and EiD: Financing Energy Efficiency: Why bother?  This event brings together high-level policy and business actors for balancing and sharing priories and ideas on the practical ways for driving investment into energy efficiency. The subjects covered will be energy efficiency market, institutional investing, private investors, EU ETS, crowdfunding, insurance, ESCO and ‘green banking.’  For more information, go to the  EEIP website.
