How can historic districts embrace sustainable heating and cooling without losing their character? Join us in Trento’s Santa Chiara district for an event that brings this question to life through training, dialogue, and collaboration.
The evening begins with an overview of the renovation works in Santa Chiara, introducing the energy innovations already under construction. Participants will then take part in a training session focused on the design and implementation of heating and cooling technologies in the area’s historic buildings, with a special look at heat pumps and geothermal energy.
Following the training, the event shifts into an interactive World Café workshop, where participants will explore how to heat historic districts sustainably-sharing ideas, strategies, and lessons learned. The evening concludes with networking drinks and business matchmaking, offering space to continue the conversation with attendees that share your professional goals.
This event is an opportunity to see innovative energy solutions applied in real buildings, learn about the challenges and opportunities of working with heritage contexts, and connect with peers across sectors. Whether you’re interested in technology, urban planning, or heritage conservation, you’ll gain practical insights into how cities can tackle the energy transition while protecting their history.
