Join us at the Rinnovabili HUB from March 5-7, 2025, at the Rimini Expo Centre
The countdown has begun for the first edition of Smart Building Revolution, an exclusive event organized by Rinnovabili as part of KEY – The Energy Transition Expo. From March 5 to 7, 2025, the Rinnovabili HUB (Hall A1, Booth 240) will host an exciting lineup of must-attend sessions for professionals and companies operating in the building and smart city industries. Over three days, experts, businesses, and institutions will take the stage to discuss the latest trends, ranging from building automation, energy efficiency, and decarbonization to the broader concepts of shared energy, urban hydrogen, and smart cities.
Smart technologies for energy efficiency and storage
The first day will focus on integrating advanced technologies into heating and storage systems. The event will kick off with a session by Swedish company AIRA on the evolution of heating systems, followed by a deep dive into the multiple benefits of Avoni Industrial’s Power Island, an autonomous system that ensures constant energy availability.
Artificial intelligence remains a key factor in energy management, with increasingly sophisticated solutions for optimizing domestic consumption, as demonstrated by Loytec’s industry experts. The day’s highlights include Schneider Electric’s insights into connected solutions for electrical distribution infrastructure and SolaX Power’s technologies for residential energy storage—crucial for maximizing self-consumption and grid stability.
The discussion will then shift from buildings to smart cities, essential for urban decarbonization through sustainable business models. R2M Solution will take the stage to share international best practices and innovations in the field.
The energy transition: regulations and innovation
The second day will center on the challenges of the energy transition, focusing on regulations, tools, and best practices for improving building efficiency. One of the most anticipated talks will explore energy efficiency in the AI era, led by Rödl & Partner, who will also delve into the regulatory complexities surrounding this crucial topic.
Economic and environmental benefits linked to implementing the EPBD IV Directive (the “Green Homes” directive) will be the focus of R2M Solution’s second session. SolaX Power will provide an in-depth look at Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), a growing strategic component in the distributed energy landscape.
A key session by Schneider Electric will address the elimination of SF6 gas, commonly used in electrical switchgear but known for its high environmental impact. Meanwhile, Loytec’s session on Building Automation will showcase integrated BACS systems enhanced with AI-driven tools.
The day will conclude with Asso EGE, which will highlight the critical role of energy management experts in guiding the sector’s transition. Additional discussions will explore HVAC 4.0 and the role of digitalization in building management, featuring leading experts analyzing the latest innovations to reduce energy consumption and enhance living comfort.
Smart cities and the future of sustainable construction
The final day will open a window into the future of smart cities, focusing on Digital Twins and Renewable Energy Communities (CERs).
The Digital Twin concept will be central to a session by Gruppo Andreani – 3D Smart City, demonstrating how this technology can revolutionize urban management, driving economic, social, and environmental impact. R2M Solution will introduce digital solutions for improving Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), equipping professionals with advanced tools for building analysis and certification.
Software innovation for energy monitoring will be a key theme in Schneider Electric’s talk, featuring a deep dive into Transition 5.0 and the latest technologies enabling more efficient energy resource management.
The day will continue with a panel discussion on the benefits of urban hydrogen, analyzing its role in decarbonization and the sustainability strategies of future cities. Wrapping up the event, an engaging discussion on the challenges facing Renewable Energy Communities (CERs) will feature insights from Énostra, a leading energy cooperative, and multinational company MET Energia.
