    Europe (primarily France, with strong EU regulatory influence and European investor participation)

    Why it matters

    The SIBCA 2026 takes place at a pivotal moment for the European real estate sector. Decarbonisation has moved from an environmental commitment to a structural economic driver that conditions asset value, liquidity, and long-term viability . Regulatory pressures from the EPBD (mandating renovation of the worst-performing 16% by 2030 ), the CSRD, and the Green Claims Directive are reshaping investment and development strategies . With embodied carbon emerging as a value-discount risk (8-15% potential discount within five years- ) and green financing becoming a performance driver , the sector is moving from proof of concept to large-scale deployment . SIBCA has become the forum where decision-makers—investors, developers, property companies, local authorities, and industrialists—come to make the decisions that will shape the future of real estate decarbonisation . The 2026 edition, celebrating five years of acceleration, poses a collective ambition: to act together and accelerate the decarbonisation of real estate and territories .

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Decarbonisation as a central value driver

    Decarbonisation is no longer a compliance issue but a structural factor in investment decisions, asset valuation, risk management, and portfolio resilience . Investors actively price assets based on sustainability credentials, with nearly one-quarter requiring discounts for buildings that fail to meet expectations- .

    Source
    02

    Regulatory pressure from EPBD and EU directives

    The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) introduces phased minimum energy performance standards (MEPS), targeting renovation of the worst-performing 16% by 2030 and 26% by 2033 . Whole-life carbon is entering the regulatory mainstream- , and the transposition of EPBD, CSRD, and Green Claims Directive increasingly influence real estate decisions .

    Source
    03

    Embodied carbon and value discounts

    Buildings exceeding emerging embodied carbon benchmarks could face value discounts of 8 to 15% within five years- . This is pushing developers, investors, and bankers to assess long-term asset viability from an energy consumption and carbon perspective- .

    Source
    04

    Data-driven decarbonisation and performance validation

    Capital deployment increasingly depends on data to justify investment and prove value . Real-time data is used to monitor operating conditions, validate design assumptions, and ensure capital investments deliver expected outcomes . Leading organisations are centralising sustainability data to evaluate climate strategies and inform investment decisions .

    Source
    05

    Green financing and sustainable investment flows

    Sustainable financing is supporting the rebound in Europe's CRE market . Strongest demand focuses on buildings with high energy efficiency and clear sustainability credentials . Clients increasingly prioritise energy efficiency, climate resilience, and long-term decarbonisation, reinforced by regulation and growing investor demand .

    Paris en septembre : une ville aux portes de l'automne

    Paris in September benefits from mild and pleasant weather, with average maximum temperatures of 20 to 24°C and minimums of 9 to 15°C. The days are still long and sunny, ideal for strolling after the show. The Parisian back-to-school season is marked by cultural effervescence: major museums (Louvre, Orsay, Centre Pompidou) are open, and café terraces are lively. The Grand Palais, located on the Champs-Élysées, offers direct access to the most emblematic neighborhoods of the capital. It is advisable to bring an umbrella or a light raincoat, as showers are possible

    Business and French conviviality

    The SIBCA takes place in a prestigious setting, the Grand Palais, which combines exceptional architecture and functionality. The event is strictly professional and focused on networking. Exchanges take place in French and English, with a strong presence of French and European players. Lunch breaks and social moments are key opportunities to make contacts. It is customary to exchange business cards and schedule appointments in advance. Punctuality is appreciated, but discussions can be lively and passionate.

    Discover the neighborhoods around the Grand Palais

    The Grand Palais is surrounded by prestigious neighborhoods: the Champs-Élysées for shopping and restaurants, the Faubourg Saint-Honoré district for luxury boutiques, and the 8th arrondissement for its elegant private mansions and atmospheres. A few steps away are the Petit Palais (Museum of Fine Arts), the Alexandre III bridge (offering a stunning view of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower), and the Place de la Concorde. For a more authentic experience, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, a few metro stops away, offers historic cafés and art galleries.
