Fit for 2050 – Redesigning Spaces for Wellbeing, Inclusivity, and Sustainable Performance
The CIBSE Technical Symposium focuses on creating healthy, inclusive, and high-performance building environments that address the needs of both occupants and the planet. The event will highlight emerging technologies, strategies, and frameworks that drive the next generation of building design and performance. Topics will range from inclusive design—creating spaces that cater to diverse needs such as neurodiversity and sensory inclusion—to indoor air quality (IAQ), and address the broader implications of climate resilience, retrofit and technological advances in building services design.
Get Involved
Getting involved in the Symposium as a presenter is simple – we ask you to submit a short abstract, or summary, of what you are offering to present. This could be a research paper or poster, a technical review of a topic relevant to the theme, a case study showing practical experience with a technology or process or an opinion based paper. It can be based on recent or current project work, research or application, or it could examine actual or potential impacts of new technologies, processes or policies on the built environment.
