The topic of this session is “Pre-commercial Procurement of Breakthrough Solutions for 100 % Renewable Energy Supply in Buildings”. This is the first official kick-off of this new initiative. The Initiative collaborates with an EU project that has just started, and therefore, it allows you to learn, participate and even benefit financially from this project.
The panellists discuss the aim, scope, goal of this initiative, as well as the procurement of innovation and tender process. Solutions to problems, such as that around 90 % of existing buildings will be in operation in 2050 with no clear path on how to achieve nearly zero-energy standards in these buildings, are explored and the possible solutions discussed.
