The Building Physics Research Group organised the ninth Building Physics Conference at Tampere Hall in cooperation with the Real Estate Education Centre Ltd Kiinko. The topics of the first day were once again related to the design and implementation of building physics, the thermal and moisture engineering of structures, and new instructions. On the same day, topics related to the energy efficiency of building technology and structures were also presented. On the second day, the focus was on renovation, moisture and mould problems in buildings, harmful substances and indoor air quality. Other topics include the effects of climate change, moisture and drying of concrete, natural and low-carbon construction, and acoustics.
This time, the conference included three keynote speeches. Keynote speeches were given by Professor Nathan Van Den Bossche from Ghent University in Belgium and Dr. Daniel Zirkelbach Fraunhofer from IBP (Institute for Building Physics) in Germany on the first day. On the second day, the keynote speech was given by Professor Ulla Haverinen-Shaughnessy from the University of Oulu. You can find out more about the keynote speakers on the conference website from this link.
The award for moisture-safe construction was presented at the conference at the end of the first day. This time, it was awarded for the 7th time. A total of 25 entries attended the competition, of which the five entries considered by the jury to be the most meritorious were presented in a session of the winning candidates. The award for moisture-safe construction was awarded to the DELTABEAM® structural drying studies working group.
