the importance of the efficiency-first
About this Event
Our 7th European ETICS Forum will take place on Wednesday, 12th November 2025, in Milan/Italy. As in previous editions, the EAE will bring together more than 150 experts to a high-level conference, complemented by an exhibition zone. Architects, designers, contractors, authorities, policymakers and manufacturers will have the unprecedented opportunity to listen, to discuss and to exchange on latest technical, regulatory and legislative developments shaping the future market opportunities for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).
The morning sessions of the European ETICS Forum 2025 mark the Italian partner event of the Renovate Europe Day. They will demonstrate the urgent need for tripling energy-efficiency renovations of existing buildings to achieve the objectives of major European political initiatives such as the Green Deal, the Clean Industrial Deal and the upcoming Affordable Housing Plan. The bold implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a key element.
With only 25 years left to achieve the decarbonization of Europe’s huge and aging building stock comprising 112 million buildings (in 2020). 75% of those are assumed energy inefficient, being responsible for 36% of Europe’s CO2 emissions and 40% of the energy demand, around 2/3 of it used for space heating and cooling alone. 90% of these buildings will still exist in 2050 and most of them are still in need of energy-efficiency renovation. With arrears on utility bills of 6,9% and with 10,6% of households not being able to keep their homes adequately warm because of energy poverty, both the social and economic dimensions of the challenges emerge.
Thermal insulation of buildings envelopes together with further energy-efficiency measures such as electrification and on-site renewable energy generation can significantly contribute to turning the challenges into multifold opportunities for our economies and societies. Given that, energy savings of 80% are achievable, lowering the peak demand on electricity grids, enabling a smooth and just energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables, minimizing Europe’s huge dependence on energy imports.
