Description
Building on the success of previous editions held in cities such as Madrid, Brussels, Visby, Benediktbeuern, Krems, and Singapore, Cerema is proud to announce the 6th International Conference on Energy Efficiency in Historic Buildings (EEHB). The event will take place at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on 13–14 October 2026.
As climate change intensifies, the building sector plays a vital role in reducing global CO₂ emissions. Historic buildings, which make up around 25% of Europe’s building stock, are central to the cultural identity of many cities. Preserving these structures as functional and comfortable spaces requires retrofit solutions that respect their heritage value while improving energy performance and environmental impact.
EEHB 2026 will bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore the latest advancements in energy efficiency for historic buildings. This conference will focus on key topics such as:
- Climate change impact on indoor climate
- Bio-based materials
- AI and digital tools for heritage retrofit
- Governance issues and public policies
- Inspiring case studies
- Building physics applied to historic buildings (hygrothermal transfer, material properties, etc)
- Training and guidelines for professionals
- Role of social sciences in retrofitting historic buildings
Sessions will feature technical presentations in French and poster sessions in English.
