Pre-conference events 2025

If you are arriving earlier to the C4E Forum 2025 than the official conference start planned for 20th May 17.3o (coffee) as per the general programme outline we are encouraging you to spend the time actively at one of two the pre-conference events:

  • Turning the new Energy Efficiency Directive into an opportunity: energy efficiency as a resource for affordable energy, security and competitiveness (ENSMOV plus, Enefirst Plus and SEED MICAT projects) – 15.oo-17.3o (conference room – Bobara)
  • CoolLIFE Tool & Knowledge Hub Training: Driving a sustainable future in space cooling – 16.oo-17.3o (conference room – Sipun)

 

C4E pre-conference for ENSMOV plus, Enefirst Plus and SEED MICAT – 20 May, 15.oo-17.3o (conference room – Bobara) 

Join C4E’s pre-conference on 20th May on : “Turning the new Energy Efficiency Directive into an opportunity: energy efficiency as a resource for affordable energy, security and competitiveness” including key European funded projects focusing on energy efficiency:  ENSMOV plus, Enefirst Plus and SEED MICAT.

The aim of this conference is to highlight key challenges and issues raised by the new Energy Efficiency Directive, and why addressing them is essential to not only to achieve energy efficiency targets, but to also contribute to multiple objectives.  In order to achieve this, participants will get a tour of resources publicly available, including project platforms and tools related to energy policies, energy savings obligation and on the Energy Efficiency First principle.

Participants will also benefit from experience sharing from Croatian and Polish experts as well as discussions around policy recommendations in the context of the new EED, helping to further develop knowledge on recommendations on implementing Art8 EED and the Energy Efficiency First principle.

CoolLIFE Tool & Knowledge Hub Training: Driving a sustainable future in space cooling – 20 May, 16.oo-17.3o (conference room – Sipun) – read more here

The CoolLIFE project tackles Europe’s growing demand for sustainable space cooling
(SC) by equipping decision-makers with essential tools and knowledge.

This session provides
hands-on training on the CoolLIFE Tool & Knowledge Hub, helping participants integrate lowcarbon
cooling strategies into energy planning

What You’ll Learn:

  • CoolLIFE Tool: Analyse SC demand (local to EU-wide), assess demand response
    measures, and explore green cooling technologies under economic, regulatory, and
    policy conditions.
  • Knowledge Hub: Access quality-controlled FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable,
    Reusable) data, EU-27 funding schemes, and insights into user behaviour for effective
    cooling planning.
  • Explore nature-based, passive, and free cooling solutions
  • Integrate sustainable SC strategies into NECPs, Comprehensive Assessments, and
    municipal heat planning.
  • Engage in interactive exercises to apply effectively the CoolLIFE Tools.
