From ideas to market‑ready building solutions: benefits for housing
How testing, pilot lines and living labs support the transition from research to real buildings
How do new façade and building‑envelope solutions move from an initial idea to reliable application in real buildings? This question is at the centre of the MEZeroE Final Conference, which marks the conclusion of five years of work supporting innovation in the building‑envelope sector. The event takes place during REbuild 2026 in Riva del Garda and brings together companies, designers, researchers and decision‑makers interested in testing, validating and scaling new building solutions.
The conference is organised over two complementary days:
- Monday 12 May (11:30 – 12:15): MEZeroE contributes to the main REbuild conference programme with a panel session “La decarbonizzazione come motore di efficienza per la sostenibilità sociale e ambientale” open to the wider audience, focusing on how testing, pilot lines and living labs can support innovation and reduce risk in the construction sector.
- Tuesday 13 May (9:00–12:00) | From ideas to market‑ready building solutions: benefits for housing: a dedicated MEZeroE event centred on housing‑related applications. Through concrete examples, participants will explore how testing infrastructures and real‑world demonstration environments support performance assessment, design optimisation and informed decision‑making before market deployment.
