Energy Saving Fair 2026: New hall & new opportunities for the construction sector

The energy saving trade fair will be the first event to use the new hall from February 26th to March 1st, 2026. Here the construction area finds a new home on 9,200m² in a forward-looking environment. "We are creating a place where innovation becomes visible. Anyone who exhibits in Wels will be seen," emphasizes trade fair managing director Mag. Robert Schneider. The hall meets the highest sustainability standards (lowest energy, district heating, groundwater cooling) and is a real technological miracle thanks to 1.7 km of media channels and flexible infrastructure.

Erich Haudum.Trade fair manager Petra Leingartner emphasizes: “The new Hall 22 is more than just space – it is the stage and the most important trade fair in Austria for the building trade.” At the same time as the energy saving trade fair, electromobility will be presented in all its diversity in its own trade fair area from February 25th to March 1st, 2026.
