7th European ETICS Forum 2025
ETICS – contributing to EU competitiveness and decarbonisation
Our 7th European ETICS Forum will take place on Wednesday, 12th November 2025, in Milan/Italy. As in previous editions, the EAE will bring together more than 150 experts to a high-level conference, complemented by an exhibition zone. Architects, designers, contractors, authorities, policymakers and manufacturers will have the unprecedented opportunity to listen, to discuss and to exchange on latest technical, regulatory and legislative developments shaping the future market opportunities for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).
As ETICS mark the most used façade insulation solution in Europe and beyond, the sector plays an important role to achieve the European Union’s political objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal – the block’s plan for competitiveness and decarbonization by 2050.
With only 25 years left to achieve the decarbonization of Europe’s huge and aging building stock comprising 112 million buildings (in 2020). 75% of those are assumed energy inefficient, being responsible for 36% of Europe’s CO2 emissions and 40% of the energy demand, around 2/3 of it used for space heating and cooling alone. 90% of these buildings will still exist in 2050 and most of them are still in need of energy-efficiency renovation. With arrears on utility bills of 6,9% and with 10,6% of households not being able to keep their homes adequately warm because of energy poverty, both the social and economic dimensions of the challenges emerge.
High time to awake the sleeping giant!
Thermal insulation of buildings envelopes together with further energy-efficiency measures such as electrification and on-site renewable energy generation can significantly contribute to turning the challenges into multifold opportunities for our economies and societies. Given that, energy savings of 80% are achievable, lowering the peak demand on electricity grids, enabling a smooth and just energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables, minimizing Europe’s huge dependence on energy imports.

The European ETICS Forum 2025 will demonstrate the need for tripling energy-efficiency renovations of existing buildings to achieve the objectives of major European political initiatives such as the Green Deal, the Clean Industrial Deal and the upcoming Affordable Housing Plan. The bold implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a key element. Moreover, experts will discuss how ETICS can contribute to a sustainable build environment and to the future Circular Economy Act.
Planned topics (changes possible):
- European ETICS market 2025: facts, figures, trends
- Implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) in Italy and Europe: what is needed for bold implementation? – status, good practice examples, challenges & opportunities
- Affordable Housing Plan: how can energy-efficiency support the objectives?
- Which stimulus is needed to make it a European success story?
- What do Italian architects and engineers think about sustainability, EPBD and ETICS?
- ETICS: unbeatable variety of design options for new buildings and building renovations
- Quality is key: proven long-term performance of ETICS – and why details matter
- ETICS on the way to circularity
