On 30 June 2026, the SEEDS EU project will host the online workshop “Beyond the Boiler: Integrated Pathways for Building Decarbonisation”, organised as part of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2026.

The session will explore how smart heat pumps, renewable energy sources, energy storage solutions and energy flexibility can be combined to support the development of more efficient and decarbonised buildings.

Drawing on insights from the SEEDS Greek pilot, the workshop will also examine some of the regulatory barriers slowing down the clean energy transition and present policy recommendations to facilitate the deployment of integrated energy solutions.
