The first meeting of CESBP was organized by Cracow University of Technology and Technical University of Lodz in September 2010 in Cracow, Poland. Subsequently, the meetings were held periodically, aiming at scientists working in the field of building physics and related topics. The symposium organizers and venues were changed every three years as follows:

2010 - Cracow, Poland - Cracow University of Technology, Technical University of Lodz
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

Bratislava - the little big city

Bratislava is the capital and largest city of Slovakia. Officially, the population of the city is about 430,000; however, it is estimated to be more than 660,000. Bratislava is in southwestern Slovakia at the foot of the Little Carpathians, occupying both banks of the River Danube and the left bank of the River Morava. Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two sovereign states. Bratislava is the political, cultural and economic centre of Slovakia. It has several universities, and many museums, theatres, galleries and other cultural and educational institutions. In 2017, Bratislava was ranked as the third richest region of the European Union by GDP (PPP) per capita (after Hamburg and Luxembourg City). GDP at purchasing power parity is about three times higher than in other Slovak regions. Bratislava receives around 1 million tourists every year. (source: Wikipedia)

Abstract - Changing urban climate and impact on building physics

Over the last decades, the impact of climate change on the urban climate and hygrothermal and energetic performance of buildings has been of increasing interest. However, it is still not clear how the urban climate has to be taken into account in current building physics analysis, although different urban climate modelling methods exist ranging from city to street scale.
In this keynote lecture, different approaches ranging from full physical modeling to engineering methods will be presented to take into account the urban climate for different building physics applications.
In a first part, we try to understand and analyze the urban climate at city scale and focus on the synergetic impact of urban heat islands and heatwaves on building cooling energy demand. We show how historical data and hybrid mesoscale meteorological modelling can be used to study the important variation of the building cooling energy demand over the city during summer periods. To explain this important spatial variation, the impacts of urban morphology on surface temperature and of buoyancy on urban ventilation are discussed.
In a second part, we focus on the design of mitigation scenarios for urban overheating during heatwaves, first analyzing large scale scenarios on city scale, followed by local mitigation scenarios using vegetation, water spraying and enhanced night ventilation for neighborhoods undergoing densification.
In a third part, we focus on the importance of wind driven rain for hygrothermal durability analysis in an urban context. We present a new statistical method for assessing the impact of climate change on wind driven rain and introduce a new method for moisture durability analysis using an dynamic index based on the evaluation of the balance between drying and wetting processes of facades.

Abstract - The human dimension of building science

In building science domain, we typically focus on buildings as mere hardware entities or technical artifacts. What seems to be "missing in action" in common building science discourse is the building inhabitants, who are the primary reason why we make buildings in the first place. This implies the essential importance of incorporating, in building science and allied disciplines (building physics, building performance simulation, building information modeling) a deep consideration and representation of people in built environments. In this context, the present keynote argues that further in-depth and theory-driven understanding of buildings' occupants are needed, including their requirements, their needs, their environmental perception and evaluation processes, and their actions and behavior. As such, the keynote underlines the need and proposed promising directions for further research and development in this area.
