The International Conference on Efficient Building Design in Beirut, Lebanon is a respected global forum that brings together professionals, academics, researchers, and industry specialists focused on improving building performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability across the built environment. Organized collaboratively by ASHRAE, the ASHRAE Lebanese Chapter, the Munib & Angela Masri Institute of Energy and Natural Resources, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the American University of Beirut (AUB), this conference fosters a high-level exchange of knowledge and technological innovations that support efficient building design practices.
The conference is structured around peer-reviewed technical sessions, keynote presentations, and interactive discussions that examine holistic strategies for reducing energy consumption, enhancing indoor environmental quality, and integrating state-of-the-art materials and systems — including HVAC equipment technologies — into design and construction processes. Topics typically explored include climate-responsive design interventions, sustainable materials and façade technologies, energy-efficient heating and cooling, indoor air quality, urban thermal comfort, and performance modelling methodologies.
Participants benefit from a multidisciplinary programme that promotes evidence-based solutions, cutting-edge research, and practical case studies from leading voices in the fields of building science and environmental design. With contributions from local and international experts, the conference encourages cross-sector collaboration among engineers, architects, planners, policymakers, and other stakeholders invested in advancing resilient and efficient buildings that meet contemporary environmental and economic priorities.
In addition to technical content, the event serves as a strategic networking platform where professionals can form partnerships, explore emerging technologies, and strengthen professional connections within the global efficiency and sustainability community. Its emphasis on real-world applications and forward-looking approaches ensures relevance for practitioners involved in project delivery, regulatory frameworks, sustainability initiatives, and research.
By fostering innovation and evidence-driven dialogue, the International Conference on Efficient Building Design contributes to the ongoing evolution of efficient building practices and supports broader industry goals related to energy reduction, environmental responsibility, and the creation of healthier built environments.
