4th International Building Physics Conference
Energy Efficiency and New Approaches in Building Physics
June 15-18, 2009, Istanbul, Turkey
The 2009 Building Physics Conference will be organized in Istanbul, Turkey by the Physical Environment Control Unit of Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Architecture. The conference will provide a forum for scientists, researchers and practitioners from all over the world to disseminate technical information, new ideas and the latest developments and discuss future direction in the fields of building physics. Moreover, the conference is expected to form a platform through which the developed and the developing countries exchange their knowledge and experiences.
Aim
The 2009 Building Physics Congress aims to play a leading role on the subject of building physics, by providing a forum for information exchange between researchers and professionals. Therefore, the "4th International 2009 Building Physics Conference" expected to meet the following purposes:
- Enabling participants from developed and developing countries to meet and to exchange knowledge and experience
- Assisting and promoting new studies in local, regional and global scales
- Encouraging the dissemination of high quality information and education on building physics
- Involving young researchers in information and education in building physics
- Promoting research opportunities between different research groups
- Developing principles of design and construction to ensure a healthy, comfortable and sustainable environment
- Widening quality design and construction availability, especially in developing countries
