Sustainable Building Congress
Pioneering sustainable construction projects worldwide
Representing the collective efforts and innovations of the sector, the Sustainable Building Congress has established itself as the leading forum where knowledge, debate, and reflection shape the path toward a more sustainable construction model, conscious of environmental limits.
Promotion valid until 31.03.25
The main purpose of the Sustainable Building Congress is to represent and give a voice to all the collective efforts of the construction sector and the innovations it’s making to adapt and overcome the current challenges in the field of sustainability, the sustainable development of the needs of our society and the compatibility of our existence with increasingly evident environmental restrictions.
With over 2,000 attendees in 2024, the Sustainable Building Congress has consolidated itself as the must-visit forum for knowledge, debate and reflection for the entire construction ecosystem. Each year it brings together architects, engineers, builders, developers, manufacturers and so on.
For the 2025 program, we are highlighting the three key themes driving the industry’s agenda: Bio-habitability and health, Social housing, Artificial intelligence.
TOPICS
The industry's key challenges and opportunities at the heart of the debate. Discover them!
Biohabitability and health
Aspects or sub-areas
- Indoor air quality: Ventilation systems, air filtration, non-toxic materials.
- Thermal comfort: Insulation, humidity control, efficient heating and cooling systems.
- Natural and artificial lighting: Window design, circadian light, LED lighting technologies.
- Acoustics: Noise reduction, absorbent materials, acoustic design.
- Green spaces and biophilia: Plant integration, vertical gardens, outdoor spaces.
- Accessibility and ergonomics: Universal design, easy mobility, ergonomic furniture.
Social housing
These residential projects are designed to provide affordable, quality housing for low-income individuals, promoting social equity, inclusion and community cohesion.
Aspects or sub-areas
- Innovative construction: Prefabricated methods, modular construction, fast-track building techniques.

- Participatory design: Engaging the community in design and planning.
- Economic sustainability: Affordable living costs, energy efficiency, reduced maintenance.
- Social inclusion: Diversity design, integration of community services, common spaces.
- Policy and regulation: Housing legislation, minimum livability standards, tax incentives.
Artificial Intelligence
Aspects or sub-areas
- Generative design: Using AI to create multiple optimised design options.
- Construction management: Site tracking, delay forecasting, resource optimisation.
- Predictive maintenance: Building monitoring, early failure identification.
