SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SESSIONS
The scientific and technical program is based on the papers that have undergone a double-blind peer-review process. The WSBE24 Scientific Committee and Editors carefully reviewed initial abstracts and full paper submissions, ensuring that only those meeting the necessary scientific standards were presented at the conference and included in The WSBE24 Proceedings.
The breadth of topics covered in the Proceedings and in this program is vast, reflecting the field's most pressing challenges and emerging solutions. Questions and innovative research and solutions range from specific materials and building physics in individual buildings to broad urban development strategies, always guided by the principles of sustainable development.
Read the pre-publication Preface of the WSBE24 Proceedings HERE.
These presentations will be on demand to maximise the amount of viewers across the world, to be watched at a suitable time zone for all.
Each Presentation will have its own chat function for Q&A, there will be a Group chat that everyone can see and you can also send a private chat to the presenting author. The presenting author will not be online at all times, so you can leave your message and the author will respond as soon as they log in next. All messages will remain visible on the portal, within that presentation.
All presenting authors will be encouraged to add a ‘chat message’ in the chat box at the start of the conference, advising when they will be online – if you wish to come back for a live chat with them
