Cross sector Forum:
"Buildings & Energy Efficiency".
The new role of buildings in
Energy Transition

Buildings aren't just where energy gets consumed, around 40% of the total energy demand in the EU — they're where decarbonization and the energy transition get built. Heat pumps, rooftop solar, home battery storage, district heating networks, and building asset flexibility are turning real estate from a passive energy user into an active grid participant, and the market is only beginning to price that shift.

TEB Academy Forum 2026 brings together the five pillars of the energy ecosystem — Academia, Industry, Policymakers, Start-ups, and Finance — for two transformative days in Vienna.

Join 250+ Real Estate & Energy developers, utilities, investors, technology providers, and policymakers together for one day at TU Wien to work through how that shift actually happens, with real case studies from Austria and Central & Eastern Europe, not just theory, but real cases and solutions.
