Smart Building Community
A high-level platform for discussion, created to promote the "Smart Building" paradigm and foster dialogue and relations between the supply chain and the related institutional system.
Active from 2022 to 2026
The Smart Building supply chain has a high economic and social significance for Italy. It is a fundamental asset for the competitiveness of the country, with 130 billion euros of revenue generated, 40 billion euros of Value Added and over 620 thousand people employed.
The obsolescence of the Italian real estate urges a shift to the Smart Building paradigm: 72% of the buildings are more than 40 years old and are currently responsible for 45% of energy consumption and 18% of CO2 emissions.
