Authorities and other industry players to systematically translate the potential of applied research in the fields of sustainable construction, renewable energies, and building technologies into practice. The focus is on new methods, prototypes, and ready-to-use solutions for a clearly defined topic. Researchers provide insights into current projects, while industry experts classify research perspectives, market developments, and future trends. Participants gain access to the latest findings, contribute their own questions, network in a targeted manner, and initiate new partnerships and project ideas for the next step in innovation and implementation. Against this backdrop, the 24th brenet Status Seminar 2026 will focus on Switzerland's building stock. As the largest consumer of energy, but increasingly also as a producer, storage facility, and controllable system element, it is shaping the development of Switzerland's energy system. The aim of the event is to provide a forum for professional exchange on how buildings as prosumers can contribute technically, systemically, and operationally to achieving energy and climate policy goals.
