Twin Transition and the Housing Plan: Development Scenarios for the Renovation of the Building Stock through Public-Private Partnerships

Organized by Smart Building Italia

Abstract: The opening conference of Smart Building Levante 2026 will explore the opportunities offered by the twin transition and the Housing Plan for the renovation and upgrading of the building stock. Institutions, professionals and experts will discuss emerging regulatory, technological and market scenarios, with a focus on the role of public-private collaboration.

The debate will focus on the energy and digital transition of buildings, the implementation of RED III, the Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) and the new ITACA Protocol, as well as the potential to turn measures addressing the housing emergency into an opportunity to improve building quality and broaden citizens’ access to innovative services.

A strategic discussion aimed at defining sustainable and practically applicable development models, with particular attention to Puglia and Southern Italy.
