7th conference on building renovation at Politechnika
On March 10, 2026, as part of the OSS krk HubRenowacji initiative, SPCleantech, in cooperation with the Tadeusz Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology and the Association of Municipalities and Districts of Małopolska, organized the 7th conference, this time at the Cracow University of Technology. The conference, titled “Thermal Modernization and Renovation of Buildings – Latest Market Trends” “Challenges of Thermal Modernization and Renovation Processes in the Light of the New EU Directives Coming into Force” took place in the Boiler Room of the Cracow University of Technology.
We would like to thank Lucyna Domagała, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Cracow University of Technology, and Małgorzata Fedorczyk-Cisak, Director of the Małopolska Center for Energy-Efficient Buildings, and her team for co-organizing the conference.
During the conference, attended by over 180 people, we focused on the significant legislative changes proposed by the European Commission and their impact on the process of improving the energy efficiency of buildings through thermal modernization and renovation in Poland. In particular, we examined the updated directives: RED III (Renewable Energy Directive), EED (Energy Efficiency Directive), ETS2 (Emissions Trading System), and especially the “building” directive EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive), as well as the proposals for the new building code and technical specifications (WT26).
We also presented our latest initiative: the first stationary Investor Support Point in Poland for thermal modernization and renovation, which aims to simplify and accelerate the thermal modernization process for building owners, both individual and community, housing cooperatives, municipalities, counties, and businesses.
As Europe strives to increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions, it is crucial to understand how these changes will impact the thermal modernization and renovation of various building types. We will focus on single-family homes, multi-apartment buildings, and public buildings, including historic buildings. Participants had the opportunity to gain knowledge on the practical aspects of implementing these directives and the challenges they may pose.
During the conference, invited experts and members of the OSS ecosystem shared their experiences and best practices that can help adapt to the upcoming changes. We also considered the preparedness of single-family home owners, multi-apartment building managers, and municipal governments for these changes and what steps can be taken to effectively implement the new regulations in practice.
The conference provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and establish valuable contacts among industry professionals. We cordially invite you to participate in upcoming conferences at the Krakow University of Technology, which aim not only to educate but also to support green initiatives in construction.
