2026 theme: Fit for 2050 - Redesigning Spaces for Wellbeing, Inclusivity, and Sustainable Performance
The 2026 Symposium at Loughborough University (23 - 24 April) will bring together industry experts, thought leaders, policy makers and academia to explore the future of building services design with a focus on wellbeing, inclusivity, and sustainable performance. Home to one of the UK’s largest integrated schools for the built environment, Loughborough University brings together expertise in architecture, building, and civil engineering to address global challenges. Its world-class facilities and interdisciplinary research make it the ideal host for a symposium focused on advancing building services for health, wellbeing, and sustainability. We are also pleased to announce that the 2026 Symposium will be endorsed by ASHRAE.
