Within the programme there will also be the “Installer's World” space by FENIE, which will address a range of topics, including the evolution of smart homes, aerothermal energy, strategies for business growth, business opportunities with National Energy Efficiency Certificates (known in Spanish as "CAEs"), and tools that streamline the day-to-day operations of installation companies. There is also a Young Installers Competition. In addition to this is the KNK Forum by KNX Spain, in which key topics such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence applied to energy efficiency in buildings and new technological adaptations to automation standards will be discussed.
The highlight of the programme will be the 6th Innovation and Energy Efficiency Awards, which are organised in collaboration with AFME, the Association of Electrical Material Manufacturers, and aim to evaluate and distinguish products that stand out for their technological, design, functional or instrumental innovations.
