Event Description
The International Conference and Symposium on Building Rehabilitation, Renovation, Refurbishment and Re-Purposing (ICB4R) is a global forum for senior experts and researchers of the construction materials and technologies. Aging buildings and shifting markets make it necessary to renovate existing construction built during the boom years 2000 until 2010. The need to preserve the structures and to update and renovate commercial and residential real estate is imminent, especially in China. After 15 to 20 years of service, a building's infrastructure often is in need of repair, new legal requirements demand renovation (e.g. of facades with non-flammable thermal insulation), technical refurbishment (updating, modernization) is in place in many buildings. Last but not least, mainly in Europe, re-purposing of light commercial construction to residential appartments starts to play a major role.
The Technical Committee of ICB4R invites cutting-edge research results in the field of Smart Building, Advanced Low CO2 Materials and alternative technologies: Repair of Tile Facades and Large Format tiling | Use of Recycled Raw Materials | New Binder Technologies | Concrete Renovation and Rejuvenation, Protection | In-Situ Structural Analysis or Evaluation of Concrete Structures | Thermal insulation Technologies (facades) | Digital Twin Technology, BIM | CO2 Savings Determination (of conserved grey energy, live cycle assessment).
Technical Committee of ICB4R consists of Prof. Dr. Johann Plank, Technical University Munich (TUM; Chairman), Prof. Wang Ru, Shanghai Tongji University, Prof. Kong Xiangming of Tsinghua University, Prof. Dr. Andreas Gerdes, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Sino German Institute for Advanced Building Materials, Quingdao, Dr. Christian Kober, Ted Wang and Ferdinand Leopolder (drymix.info).
