Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) are increasingly recognized as a key technology for accelerating urban decarbonization.
HeriTACE was proudly represented at the 4th International Sustainable Energy Conference (ISEC 2026) in Graz, Austria, where Prof. Dr. Lieve Helsen (KU Leuven) delivered one of the conference's plenary keynote addresses and contributed to high-level discussions on the future of digitalisation and artificial intelligence in sustainable heating and cooling.
At the Heat Pump Conference (HPC) 2026, Prof. Dr. Lieve Helsen from KU Leuven’s Thermal Systems Simulation (SySi) Team presented the keynote “When systems connect – integration makes the difference and physics makes the intelligence” during the session “Heat pumps in high-density urban areas.”
Builtwins makes strong progress within the HeriTACe Horizon Europe project through the deployment of Model Predictive Control (MPC) in a residential heritage building pilot.
On September 16, 2025, I had the opportunity to attend and present at the Smart Energy Systems Conference (SESAAU2025) in Copenhagen.
On 21 November 2025, the MADE EXPO 2025 hosted the event “Innovation and European Standards for Energy Efficiency in Historic Buildings,” promoted by Federcostruzioni, Assorestauro, HeriTACE and our related projects CALECHE and FuturHist where HeriTACE has been presented by Dr. Alessia Buda.
The Simulation-Based Prediction of Mould Growth Using Coupled Building and Fungal Models conducted by Klaas De Jonge, Luca Maton (UGent) has been presented at the AIVC webinar – Emerging Risks of Indoor Mould: Assessment Methods, In-Situ Measurements & Predictive Modelling last September.
HeriTACE will participate in the FuturHist & INTBAU webinar series, which examines the intersection of heritage conservation and the energy transition.
The strong turnout at the Lamot Conference and Heritage Centre during the Energy Congress 2026 clearly demonstrated the urgency of the energy transition within the construction and installation sectors.
