The 14th Renovate Europe Day will take place in Hungary. The one-day conference aims to raise awareness among decision-makers and the public about the need for and benefits of building renovation.
The Renovate Europe Campaign (REC), an initiative of the international energy efficiency trade organisation Efficient Buildings Europe, has organised the European Renovation Day (ReDay) every year since 2011.The event, which has been organised in Brussels for more than 10 years, has been hosted by the Member State holding the rotating Presidency of the Council of Europe since last year, and ReDay 2023 will be held in the Spanish capital, Madrid. Hungary will host the 2024 event.
The high share of energy consumption in the Hungarian building stock (around 40%), the poor energy performance of the building stock, the high energy saving potential and the economic, competitiveness, social and climate protection benefits of renovation all justify the Hungarian Presidency’s priority to boost energy efficiency renovation. Without a wave of domestic renovation – around 130,000 homes per year – the 2050 climate neutrality target will not be met.
The event, which is an official partner event of the European Union Presidency under the patronage of Csaba Lantos, Minister of Energy, will take place on 9 October 2024 at the recently renewed Gellért Campus of Corvinus University of Budapest (1118 Budapest, Ménesi út 5).
We will keep you informed about the speakers and programmes on the MEHI ReDay subpage.
