ACM BuildSys 2024Hangzhou, ChinaNovember 7-8, 2024
The 11th ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation (BuildSys 2024) will host a highly selective, single-track forum for research on systems issues covering all aspects of the built environment, broadly defined.
Advances in the effective integration of networked sensors, building controls, and physical infrastructure are transforming our society, allowing the formation of unprecedented built environments and interlocking physical, social, cyber challenges. Moreover, built environments, including buildings and critical urban infrastructure, account for over half of society's energy consumption and are the mainstay of our nation's economy, security and health. As a result, there is a broad recognition that systems optimizing explicitly for the built environment are particularly important in improving our society, and represent the foundation for emerging "smart cities".
BuildSys is an ideal venue for researchers and practitioners working to develop and optimize such smart infrastructure systems that are driven by networked sensing, computing, and control functions.
Call For Hosting: ACM BuildSys 2025!
We're inviting institutions and organizations worldwide to submit their proposals. This is your chance to bring together top researchers and industry leaders focused on smart, sustainable buildings and infastructure.
