B. Circularity and energy savings in the existing built environment of the green city
In the light of the ongoing European energy crisis this panel discuss how energy, and resource-efficiency measures in existing buildings and built environment can serve the green city through reuse and renovation practice. How can such ambitions be socially inclusive? And how can they respect aesthetic values? This panel welcomes you beyond the technical aspects, to a display of strategies and practical examples.
