Renovation Days 2025 expands its horizons thanks to the collaboration of three leading institutions:
EDERA – The innovation hub for the decarbonization and regeneration of the building sector, established by Redo Sgr Società Benefit, ANCE, and Fondazione Housing Sociale. Its goal is to consolidate in Italy an innovative renovation market capable of reducing time, costs, and environmental impacts in construction. EDERA coordinates the international Energiesprong initiative in Italy.
EFN – European Façade Network – A European network of experts in the design, engineering, and construction of building envelopes. EFN promotes dissemination, training, and research activities through inclusive cooperation among members and alumni, encouraging the transfer and sharing of knowledge and expertise. Among its members, Politecnico di Milano (ABC dept.) plays an active role in the organizing committee.
Eurac Research – An applied research center based in Bolzano, with the mission of accelerating the transition towards a low-carbon society and economy. Thanks to its specialized laboratories, it supports companies and industrial partners in testing and implementing innovative energy technologies, and coordinates several European projects, including the H2020 INFINITE project.
The event is organized in collaboration with the projects Horizon 2020 Infinite Building Renovation, Life Reno Tides and Energiesprong Milano and with the support of REbuild.
