Review: ‘Energy Transition! Flexibility – The Property Sector’s Treasure Trove’
Berlin, 1 July 2026
Our conference on the future of real estate is now behind us, and we look back on a thoroughly successful event with great joy. The challenges facing the sector are demanding, but the key takeaways from our speakers clearly demonstrated where we need to focus to drive decarbonisation forward.
Data and Flexibility: The Key to Decarbonisation
The main takeaway of the day was crystal clear: without reliable data, sustainable building optimisation simply is not possible. Flexibility is the new ‘treasure trove’ of the property industry. To unlock its full potential, we need pragmatic legislative frameworks that always go hand in hand with genuine commercial viability.
Our panel of experts explored the topic from various angles:
Industry Perspective: Aygül Özkan (ZIA e.V.) set the scene on how the property sector currently views the energy transition and the strategic opportunities arising from it.
Economic Value: Leon Bücher (BET Consulting) highlighted how smart metering and flexible solutions deliver tangible financial benefits for property owners and occupants alike.
Real-World Case Study from Duisburg: Demonstrating how implementation works in existing building stock, Benjamin Gaidel (Rheinwohnungsbau), Paul Hock (Green Fusion), and Max Hülser (metiundo) presented a real-life example. The seamless interplay between smart data provided by metiundo, intelligent sector coupling, and predictive control—such as optimizing feed-ins to batteries and the grid—proves that managing buildings digitally and flexibly yields massive savings today.
Expert Insights Meet Powerful Networking
Beyond the top-tier presentations and deep dives, the conference truly thrived on the energy of our attendees. The day drew to a fantastic close on a rooftop terrace overlooking the Berlin skyline—filled with inspiring conversations, new connections, and a shared vision for the future.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all our speakers, partners, and guests who made the day so special with their insights and enthusiasm. We're already looking forward to next year!
