PAUL at the Future Real Estate Summit Energy & Heat, September 11th-12th, 2024
Jasmin Eckert
The increasing demands for energy efficiency are putting pressure on the real estate industry. The majority of greenhouse gas emissions in the real estate sector arise from energy and heat production during ongoing building operations. To meet Germany's climate goals, the federal government enacted the Building Energy Act (GEG) and the new Municipal Heat Planning Act in early 2024. Experts from politics, science, as well as the real estate and energy sectors will discuss the impacts these laws have on the industry, how the transition to renewable energy can be achieved, and how property owners and citizens can be involved at this year's Future Real Estate Energy & Heat in Magdeburg.
We need to move away from ideological debates and focus on pragmatic, economic solutions. Technologies already exist that make it possible to optimize existing buildings cost-effectively while drastically reducing CO₂ emissions. By using artificial intelligence and intelligent control systems, we can significantly increase the efficiency of existing heating and hot water systems, for example.
