RENOVATION
DAYS

On October 21, the Renovation Days by EDERA-Offsite Hub returned to Milan, the event that puts building innovation and the people who turn it into reality at the centre stage, now in its fourth edition.

The event took place on Wednesday, October 21 at BASE Milano under the title "The Italian Offsite for the Housing Challenge".

Over the past year, the topic of Housing, accessible and sustainable for all, has established itself in the Italian and European institutional debate. But awareness has also grown that it is necessary to invest in new processes and paradigms that put the construction sector in a position to face the urgency of the housing crisis and the climate crisis, within the little time and with the insufficient resources we have available.

Participants discovered what’s new, discussed policies and took part in workshops on new industrialized construction, EnergieSprong renovation and sustainable financing models, together with the Italian excellences of Offsite Hub and the international partners of Energiesprong Global Alliance and IC-Europe.

How can the Housing Plan be implemented by harnessing the benefits of offsite construction for new construction, deep renovation and the restoration of housing units?

This topic was discussed by the European Commission and ministries, together with, among others, the housing councillors of innovative municipalities, provinces and regions and the Extraordinary Commissioner for public and social housing of the Housing Plan.

They were joined by trade associations, public housing management bodies, the research community and companies investing in innovation and process industrialisation, for whom a closed-door discussion on the available financial instruments was held in collaboration with the European Investment Bank.

Participants included:

• Construction companies, building firms and trade associations.
• Developers and managers of public, private and cooperative real estate assets.
• Public institutions and local authorities.
• Universities, research centres and professional associations.
• Planners and designers.
• Energy, financial and technology companies.
• General and trade media and press.

Since 2023, every year, the Renovation Days have attracted growing interest from the public, specialists and the press, fuelled public debate, created networking opportunities, and fostered training and the dissemination of innovations in construction, also through awards, contests and technical visits to pilot projects.
