24th brenet Status-Seminar
From Consumer to Prosumer – How Buildings Shape Switzerland’s Energy System
August 20, 2026
Rotkreuz (ZG)
How can you unlock the potential of your buildings within the energy system – economically, at scale, and in a grid-supportive way?
As renewable energy generation expands, electrification of heating and mobility increases, and grid constraints become more frequent, buildings are taking on a new role within the energy system. As prosumers, they can generate, store and manage energy, contributing to both grid stability and decarbonisation.
The 24th brenet Status Seminar, «From Consumer to Prosumer – How Buildings Shape Switzerland's Energy System», presents the latest findings and research approaches from applied research, featuring contributions and real-world projects from Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences and industry partners.
Objective: To translate current research findings into practical applications and provide professionals with concrete approaches for implementation in their own projects.
Gain exclusive insights into new methods, prototypes, and market-ready solutions from applied research.
Discuss your questions with experts and connect with future partners and project collaborators.
Shape the next step in innovation for your organization.
