BAS 2024 will focus on the topic of multi-scale building modeling and simulation, contributing to apply innovative methodologies to optimize buildings and cities, creating spaces that prioritize human health, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency, setting a benchmark for the future of construction and design.

Welcome to BAS 2024!

The accurate simulation and prediction of building energy consumption are crucial prerequisites for energy-saving in buildings. Most existing research has focused on evaluating and optimizing the energy consumption of individual buildings, which has already found widespread application. However, at the urban scale, maximizing the utilization of renewable resources and optimizing district energy systems operation has become an urgent issue awaiting resolution in urban planning and district energy system design. Accurate urban energy consumption prediction models play a crucial role in influencing designers' estimations for planning and design, as well as aiding decision-makers in formulating energy policies and pricing. However, for models operating at larger spatial scales, overly simplifying the urban environment can result in significant biases. In contrast to individual buildings, urban-scale building models are influenced by a multitude of factors: human mobility, urban morphology, and urban microclimates, etc.

The confirmation e-mail will be sent back immediately after successful submission. Please indicate in the title of your e-mail whether this is a student submission.

SUBMISSION E-MAIL: bas2024abstract@gmail.com

Once your abstract has been accepted, you will receive an invitation e-mail. The authors of the accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work during BAS2024. The designated types are oral presentations and posters, which differ in the follow-up documents required to be submitted.

    Oral presentation Slides Template
  • MS PowerPoint Slides for oral presentation in 20 minutes (follow your own style but use template above as the front page);
    Posters Posters Template
  • One-page 48" Ă— 36" poster in color;
  • A pre-recorded video in 3-5 minutes as a brief introduction;

  • For posters, the local printing service is unavailable so please print your poster and bring it to the site.
  • For slides and videos, please submit them by email to bas2024abstract@gmail.com before April 29, 2024.
  • Student Poster Competition

    We are thrilled to invite all students (postdoctors not included), the next generation of researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to participate in the BAS2024 Student Poster Competition. This is a remarkable opportunity for students worldwide to showcase their research and talents on a global platform!

    As a student, upon acceptance of your submission, you will be automatically entered into this exciting competition. To complete your participation, simply submit your poster and a pre-recorded 3-minute commentary video. Seize this opportunity to contribute to the conversations at BAS2024 with your innovative research!

    Make sure to indicate in the title of your submission e-mail whether this is a student submission.

    Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 poster submissions! And special thanks to the National Science Foundation for its travel sponsorship of eight participating students.
