Attending the recent European Real Estate Society (ERES) seminar in Rome, organized in collaboration with Tor Vergata University, FIABCI, and ISIVI, on March 8th, 2024, offered for Alissa Bankovska (the Head of Strategic Partnerships of Modulina Straw Panels) an exceptional opportunity to dive deep into the converging worlds of energy crisis, real estate sustainability, and sports sector innovation. Alissa is eager to bring you into the conversation on the future of the real estate and construction industry in terms of the need for the reduction of the energy consumption and rising the efficiency of the building industry.

The Economic Engine of Sports in Italy: A Springboard for Sustainable Innovation

A Glimpse into Economic Contributions and Challenges: The sports sector in Italy is a formidable economic force, contributing €24.5 billion to the GDP. Yet, it’s not just about the numbers. The post-pandemic era and the soaring energy costs have pushed this sector to the brink, challenging us to rethink how we can turn these obstacles into opportunities for sustainable growth and innovation in sports infrastructure.

The Call for Infrastructure Revolution: Discussing infrastructure and regional disparities shed light on the urgent need for improvement. A strategic focus on sustainable sports facilities and urban renewal projects is not just beneficial but essential for the future. Why not think about straw panels for this type of facility?

Responding to the Energy Crisis with Sustainable Real Estate Practices

Towards a Greener Future with Aging Infrastructure: The real estate industry’s pivot towards sustainability in response to the energy crisis, especially through green renovations, struck a chord with me. Identifying properties for proactive renovation and aligning with the EU’s energy efficiency taxonomy underscore the importance of innovative and sustainable practices in revitalizing Italy’s aging real estate landscape.
Navigating Regulatory Waters for a Sustainable Market Outlook: The seminar highlighted the journey through significant regulatory milestones promoting energy efficiency. The shift towards green properties not only marks a financial imperative but also aligns with environmental sustainability goals, indicating a bright future for the real estate sector.

Innovation at the Heart of Sustainable Building: My insights from the seminar have further solidified my belief in the transformative power of sustainable materials for the future of construction. In line with the pioneering spirit showcased at the event, I see the Modulina Straw Panels as an exemplary solution for green building. These sustainable materials are pivotal in reducing the construction sector’s carbon footprint, highlighting the critical role of innovation in paving the way for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly construction practices.

Meeting Demand with Sustainable Solutions: The increasing consumer demand for green buildings, underscored by strategic shifts towards sustainability and efficiency, reflects a growing awareness and preference for eco-friendly living spaces. The popularity of certifications like LEED and BREEAM serves as a testament to this trend.

Embracing Change for a Sustainable Future: The energy crisis and evolving regulatory landscape have spurred a much-needed reevaluation of traditional construction practices. This transformative period is guiding the industry toward embracing retrofitting, energy management, and renewable resources, marking a new era of construction that prioritizes sustainability at its core.

Wrapping Up: A Call to Innovation

The insights gathered from the roundtable are a clarion call to the construction and sports sectors to embrace innovation and sustainability as we navigate the challenges of the energy crisis and beyond. As we continue to drive the conversation on sustainability and resilience in the face of environmental and economic hurdles, the role of innovative voices becomes increasingly crucial.

Together, let’s foster a culture of innovation and sustainability, shaping a future where construction not only meets the demands of the present but also ensures a viable, thriving planet for generations to come.
