About the event
The Swiss energy system faces major challenges: increasing electricity demand and at the same time net-zero requirements.
How can buildings become active components of the energy system – economically and scalably?
Rising electricity demand, new regulatory requirements, and the pressure to decarbonize are fundamentally changing the role of buildings. With the revision of the Electricity Act and the introduction of Local Electricity Communities (LECs), the energy system in Switzerland is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation. In the future, buildings will be able to actively participate in and shape the energy system: they will become energy producers, storage facilities, and controllable systems.
Learn more about current solutions from applied research in Switzerland – and harness the potential of buildings as prosumers!
The brenet status seminar brings together the relevant stakeholders: experts from applied research, administrations, energy suppliers, industry, building owners and planners from across Switzerland.
The focus is on current projects…
