On September 11, 2024, the third "Summit for Territories" organized by Smart Building Alliance (SBA) Italy, will take place at the "Camera dei deputati". This annual event, aimed at assessing the state of digitalization and modernization of Italy's real estate assets, will be an opportunity to deepen crucial topics related to smart buildings and their role in the context of energy transition and environmental sustainability.

The summit, which will feature numerous industry experts, will focus on the profound transformation underway in the construction sector, a change that not everyone is fully aware of. Beyond its primary function as "shelter," the building is becoming the physical terminal for an expanding range of innovative services made possible by digitalization. In this way, the building becomes a meeting point between human physicality and connection to an increasingly virtual world. This connection can improve quality of life, especially when accompanied by ease of use, which is often lacking in the technologies applied to buildings.

This year's event, titled "Smart buildings: convergence of PNRR, digitalization, and EU2050 objectives" , will be divided into two sessions. The morning session, held at the "Carte Geografiche" Conference Center in Rome, will introduce the work with a focus on the convergence of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), digitalization, and the European Union's 2050 climate objectives. Topics will include the digitalization of buildings for social and economic development, enabling technologies for the evolution of energy services, the role of transport in decarbonization, and the management of digital risk and privacy.

In the afternoon, the proceedings will move to the Camera dei Deputati, where three programmatic documents, developed by industry experts, business managers, and representatives of professional associations, will be presented to parliamentarians and political leaders.

Antonio Sacchetti, CEO and chairman of Tera and an expert on digital energy (smart metering chain2, Renewable Energies Communities, Virtual Power Plant/local flexibility services), and the integration of technologies like edge computers in smart buildings, will speak at both sessions. The full program of the event is provided here.

The goal of the Summit is to raise awareness among a broad audience and key stakeholders about emerging issues related to smart buildings, while also promoting the protocol for equipping buildings with the digital infrastructure necessary to manage the new functions they are being called upon to fulfill. With the involvement of experts and parliamentarians, the event represents an important opportunity for discussion and reflection on key issues for the future of the construction sector and the sustainability of our planet.
