De energy transition brings major challenges. Grid congestion, limited connection capacity and long waiting times with network operators mean that new-build and accommodation projects are increasingly coming under pressure. But what if it turns out that building without (full) grid connection is still possible?
During this interactive talk, Robin Berenschot will take you through the practice of innovative energy solutions in construction and commercial real estate. Based on concrete projects, we show how smart combinations of technology, storage, energy hubs and collaboration with partners ensure that projects can still be delivered despite grid congestion.
From borehole thermal energy storage systems and smart energy hubs to batteries, PV solutions and semi off-grid concepts: discover how sustainability and innovation go hand in hand with future-proof building.
This session is of interest to developers, investors, occupiers, advisors and anyone involved in the future of building and energy.
Afterwards, you are warmly invited to continue the conversation and network further with a drink at our stand.
PROVADA winner Michel Baars: 'MOOS will become the ASML of housing construction'
Not a man of one company, but a man of movements. His strength? Not shouting from the sidelines, but starting new companies himself that set the market in motion and challenge existing systems. That's how the jury of the PROVADA Inspiration Award 2026 describes winner Michel Baars. 'Michel gives direction to our entire construction and real estate sector.'
