The 2nd International Online Conference on Buildings

Dear Colleagues,

The 2nd International Online Conference of Buildings with a focus on “AI and Digital Applications in building planning, design, construction, and operation” will be held from 20 to 22 September 2027. The main purpose of the conference is to examine the use of AI and digital applications in all building-related issues, to address challenging problems, to share the latest scientific innovations, and to shape the future of building-related technologies and processes.

This conference is an excellent opportunity for building researchers and scientists to interact with each other, communicate with colleagues, learn from each other, share ideas and experiences, jointly solve problems, and suggest alternative options for a better future in the building industry.

A distinct advantage of this virtual international conference is that participants do not need to travel and can simply attend the conference wherever they are. Participants do not need to seek financial support for travel, nor do they need to leave the comfort of their homes, offices, and families to take a trip or adjust to the time zone where the conference takes place.

In the virtual conference setting, presenters will deliver their presentations live, while participants can contribute to discussions and provide feedback orally and/or through the “Chat” and “Reaction” functions.

The main topics of the conference cover the following:

Building Structures
1. Innovative Building Structural Design and System Synergy
2. Structural Assessment, Retrofit, and Resilience
3. Structural Mechanics, Analysis, and Digital Modeling

Building Materials, and Repair & Renovation
1. Sustainable and Low-Carbon Building Materials
2. Intelligent and Adaptive Building Materials
3. High-Performance and Self-Healing Building Materials

Building Energy, Physics, Environment, and Systems
1. Building Energy
2. Building Environment
3. Building Physics
4. Building Systems

Architectural Design, Urban Science, and Real Estate
1. Computational Design and Sustainable Architecture
2. Building Data Analytics and Urban Planning
3. Economics of Sustainable Building Development
4. Human and Social Factors

Construction Management, and Computers & Digitization
1. AI and Data-Driven Construction Management
2. Digitalization and Intelligent Building Systems
3. Automation and Sustainable Construction Practices
4. Construction Management and Facility Management

All accepted abstracts will be published on the website of the conference. Participants are expected to submit an abstract of 250 to 500 words and should refer to the abstract preparation guidelines at "Instructions for Authors".

After the conference, the participants may submit a full paper to MDPI’s Buildings journal.  After the review process, the authors of accepted papers will receive a 20% discount on the APC before the paper is published in Buildings.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we welcome your attendance to the 2nd International Online Conference of Buildings on “AI and Digital Applications in building planning, design, construction, and operation”.

Kind regards,
Conference Chair
Prof. Dr. David Arditi
