The SBE research group at the Department of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) in collaboration with the Architecture Department at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and Ningbo Society of Urban Sciences are excited to announce our upcoming symposium on “Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technologies for Smart, Sustainable and Healthy Buildings and Cities” and invite contributions from researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. This event aims to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced technologies, wellbeing, and sustainable urbanism, while sharing cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and best practices for creating smarter, more efficient, environmentally friendly, and healthy buildings and cities.

We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Smart building design and construction
• Energy-efficient technologies for buildings and cities
• Internet of Things (IoT) applications in urban environments
• Data analytics and machine learning for smart buildings
• Sustainable urban planning and development
• Smart technologies for energy efficiency
• Building automation and control systems
• Renewable energy for buildings and cities
• Resilient infrastructure for smart buildings and cities
• Wellbeing and health in buildings and cities
• Automation in construction for smart buildings and cities
• Educational strategies for smart buildings and cities

Contributions can take the form of research papers, case studies, project demonstrations, and panel discussions. We encourage submissions that showcase innovative technologies, best practices, and real-world applications in the field of smart and sustainable buildings and cities.

Join us in shaping the future of smart and sustainable buildings and cities. The Symposium will explore the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to create more efficient, resilient, and livable buildings and cities. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with experts, exchange ideas, and contribute to shaping the future of smart and sustainable buildings and cities. Top quality contributions will be considered for publication in the special issue of Renewable Energy. Also, an edited book to published by Springer will be pursued with interested participants.

Submit your contributions and be part of this exciting symposium that promises to drive positive change and innovation in sustainable urbanism. 

The annual symposium this year serves as a platform for research engagement and roundtable discussions where participants can share their completed or ongoing research for in-depth analysis and valuable insights. Throughout the symposium, participants will have the opportunity to refine their work for potential publication in a special issue of Renewable Energy journal or as a book chapter by Springer. The completion of this task is expected within six months post-symposium. To participate, individuals can submit an abstract or a pre-presentation outlining their topic, objectives, methods, and expected results. Final submissions before the conference can take the form of a paper or presentation, depending on the participant's preference. It is anticipated that accepted participants will further develop their contributions into either a journal paper or book chapter.
