The event is organised by the OÖ Energiesparverband, the Energy Agency of Upper Austria. Upper Austria is a leader in the clean energy transition, making the region an ideal location for this conference. Through significant increases in energy efficiency and renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions from buildings were reduced by 55 % in the last 15 years. Over 71 % of all space heating and 37 % of the primary energy in Upper Austria already come from renewables. Over 4.7 billion Euro are invested annually in the energy transition.
As cooperation partner of the conference, REHVA encourages you to take part!
