The S2B International Conference is an initiative of IPUR on its 20th anniversary. 

It is our desire to collaborate in the organisation of this event with other industries and entities of the building sector from different European countries, with whom we share a common vision in relation to buildings’ sustainability and fire safety.

The increased demands for energy efficient buildings, the incorporation of renewable energies sources in buildings and having a high sustainability score in all phases of the life of buildings pose a challenge for the entire value chain stakeholders from the perspective of the safety of users and of the building itself.

To meet those challenges, these industries advocate for a global vision of safety and sustainability in buildings, based on a scientific approach, with data, results, tests and proven experience. A framework that allows the different industries and sectors to progress in the interest of both sustainability and safety in buildings.

Three topics were addressed during the conference:

• Fire safety of building façades.
• Fire safety of photovoltaic mounted roofs.
• Sustainability from a scientific point of view.
