*/ How can innovative façade ideas move from laboratory research to real buildings?

We invite companies and representatives of the construction, energy, and innovation sectors to take part in the Living Lab Tour, organized as part of the Energodom 2025 Conference.

23 October 2025 (Thursday)
15:30–18:00
Cracow University of Technology, ul. Warszawska 24

During the event, we will present the Living Lab created within the international MEZeroE project – a unique research and demonstration space where innovative materials and technologies for building energy efficiency are tested.

On 29 January 2026, the workshop “Innovation paths and strategies for building envelope components and systems”, organised within the European projects H2020 MEZeroE, took place at Klimahouse 2026 in Bolzano.

The workshop brought together companies, researchers and practitioners for a constructive exchange on how to support the transition towards healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient living spaces through innovation in the building envelope.

On 27 November 2025, the Spanish Construction Technology Platform (PTEC) and the Spanish Photovoltaic Technology Platform (FOTOPLAT) hosted a webinar in which Tecnalia, ITEC, Leitat, and Flexbrick presented the MEZeroE platform and highlighted the work each partner has carried out within the project. The session also featured Nuria Martín (CIEMAT), who explained the current challenges and gaps in the standardisation of Building‑Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).

Joseba Ormaetxea Orobengoa, from the PV Systems platform at TECNALIA Research & Innovation, presented some of our latest developments within the MEZeroE project during the “BIPV Operational Experience and Reliability” session.
His talk, “Development and application of new extended-stress testing sequences to characterize durability of BIPV modules”, sparked great interest on how advanced testing protocols can improve the long-term reliability of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions.
