Overview
CISBAT 2021 will be held under the topic "Carbon Neutral Cities - Energy Efficiency & Renewables in the Digital Era". The built environment’s transition to carbon neutrality has entered a new phase with building science expanding its focus to urban design, new materials and advanced methods for simulation and management of energy demand and resources. Academic research is pushing the boundaries of renewable energy technology and energy efficiency, drawing from expertise in fields as diverse as materials science, climatology and machine learning. Circular economy is gaining ground. All this is reflected in the topics of the CISBAT 2021 call for papers.
The hybrid event organised from 8 to 10 September 2021 at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, offers a platform for dialogue, presentations and networking.
Over three days, CISBAT will feature high-level keynotes, thematic sessions, workshops and technical visits. An evening event will allow networking among participants who attend in person. Remote attendance will also be possible.
The call for papers is now open.
The following topics will be covered:
