After a first edition organised by Casas Históricas y Singulares and Ars Civilis in Madrid (2014), the Belgian Building Research Institute will be hosting in collaboration with public institutes from Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia, the second edition of the International Conference on Energy Efficiency and Comfort of Historic Buildings at the Royal Library in Brussels. The 2nd International Conference on Energy Efficiency and Comfort of Historic Buildings (EECHB) will include over fifty innovative peer-reviewed research papers on topics ranging from assessment and monitoring, to regulations, management and training, as well as sustainable interventions. Four keynote speakers will also present their ideas and findings during the conference.
