Dear Colleague,

We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 6th Central European Symposium on Building Physics (CESBP 2025), scheduled for 11. – 13. September 2025, at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Budapest, Hungary.

Symposium Objectives

CESBP 2025 aims to foster the exchange of academic and industrial research findings and experiences in building physics. Key topics include:

• Heat and mass transfer; heat, air, and moisture transfer modelling
• Building physical performance of construction and building materials
• Sustainable thermal insulation materials and systems
• Building envelope systems and components
• New or improved laboratory and field measurement methods and processes
• Building energy performance
• Indoor climate, visual and human comfort
• Thermal and moisture (hygrothermal) performance
• Air quality, airflow, and pollutant transport
• Daylight and illumination engineering
• Building and room acoustics
• Environmental modelling, multi-scale modelling, urban physics
• Environmental impact and life-cycle assessment
• BIM, digital twins, AI, and automation in building physics

Important Dates

• 15 January 2025: Deadline for abstract submission
• 15 February 2025: Notification of abstract acceptance and call for full papers
• 31 March 2025: Deadline for full paper submission and opening of early bird registration
• 2 May 2025: Notification of review results
• 1 June 2025: Deadline for revised paper submission and early bird registration
• 1 August 2025: Publication of final program
• 31 August 2025: Final deadline for full fee registration

Submission Guidelines

• Abstracts: Submit via the ConfTool system at https://www.conftool.com/cesbp2025/.
• Full Papers: Upon abstract acceptance, submit full papers through your ConfTool account. Papers should be at least 6 pages. Longer papers are welcome without additional fees.

Publication

• Journal publication in special issue: Authors of selected high-quality papers will be invited to submit extended versions for a special issue in the Journal of Building Physics (http://jen.sagepub.com/).

Symposium Background

The first CESBP was organized by Cracow University of Technology and Technical University of Lodz in September 2010 in Cracow, Poland.

Since then, the symposium has been held every three years at various Central European institutions:

• 2013: Vienna, Austria – Vienna University of Technology
• 2016: Dresden, Germany – Technische Universität Dresden
• 2019: Prague, Czech Republic – Czech Technical University in Prague
• 2022: Bratislava, Slovakia – Slovak University of Technology and Institute of Construction and Architecture, Slovak Academy of Sciences
• 2025: Budapest, Hungary – Budapest University of Technology and Economics

Why Attend CESBP 2025?

• Networking Opportunities: Connect with leading researchers, industry professionals, and academics in the field of building physics during the conference, as well as welcome reception and social programmes.
• Cutting-Edge Research: Engage with the latest advancements and methodologies in building physics. The International Association of Building Physics endorses the conference, and an IABP summer school is connected to the conference.
• Cultural Experience: Explore Budapest, a city renowned for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture, from the majestic Danube River and iconic landmarks like Buda Castle and Parliament to its famous thermal baths and lively ruin pubs.
