The conversation around building energy efficiency in Switzerland gathers practical solutions each November in Bern. In 2026 the technical and commercial agenda focuses on systems for building, renovating and local energy management.
Dates, venue and format
Hausbau+Energie 2026 runs from 5 to 8 November 2026 at BernExpo AG. The event spans 4 days, features 410 exhibitors and includes a program of 40 lectures. The layout separates thematic platforms and meeting zones for both short consultations and technical discussions.
Thematic platforms and highlights
The exhibition includes BärnSOLAR 26, a platform dedicated to photovoltaics, storage, heat pumps and e-mobility. BärnWOHNDESIGN 26 focuses on interior design and furniture for renovation projects. Forums address energy independence via photovoltaic systems and storage as well as practical integration of electric mobility.
HEV sessions provide practical guidance on building renovation, heating replacement and the optimization of building envelopes. The central Dorfplatz area serves as a meeting place for quick exchanges, informal talks and a coffee bar.
Exhibitor profile and target audiences for outreach
With 410 exhibitors the event brings together solar equipment manufacturers, thermal and electrical installers, suppliers of building envelope solutions, interior design firms and energy consultants. Visitors include homeowners, developers, architects and energy advisors.
For commercial teams targeting renovation or new-build projects, prioritize meetings with companies in BärnSOLAR 26 and the HEV program. Presence of property portals and valuation services also attracts visitors evaluating whether to sell, retain or renovate properties.
Practical tips to prepare B2B outreach
- Schedule meetings in advance using the exhibitor directory and identify participants in BärnSOLAR 26 and BärnWOHNDESIGN 26.
- Bring project briefs with measurable data such as current consumption, roof type and estimated PV yield. These materials accelerate technical conversations and decisions.
- Allocate time for forums on storage and heat pumps to surface regulatory topics and available incentives relevant to end clients.
- Use the Dorfplatz for short, informal encounters and to position your offer in front of professionals seeking concrete solutions.
Target decision makers and technical specifiers rather than general visitors to make the most of trade time.
Onsite support services
The exhibition hosts the Cantonal energy advice service of Bern, offering guidance on subsidies and building regulations. There are also property valuation services and presence from portals such as ImmoScout24 and Homegate.
