The C4E Forum 2025 is a cornerstone event for advancing energy efficiency in buildings across Central and Eastern Europe.

With the EPBD national implementation deadline only a year away, this event is a crucial moment to share knowledge, practical examples of policies and financing schemes, and real-world renovation case studies to support the implementation of the EPBD and the EED.

These and many more topics related to buildings will be addressed at the event, such as the multiple benefits of buildings renovation (health, wellbeing, indoor environment quality…), the role of cities and public buildings, energy poverty, digitalisation and innovation, technical building systems and others (see the general programme structure).

Whether you’re a policymaker, city representative, buildings expert, civil society leader, or industry professional, the C4E Forum 2025 is the place to connect with others, learn from real experiences, and share ideas that can drive real change in the region.
