As a response to the pressing global climate and energy crisis and with new settings and tools, the design and construction of our built environment should be reconsidered and extended. We invite all researchers and practitioners to contribute their research and expertise to the eUort. This application provides following features: * Access to up to date agenda (sessions, speeches, speakers) * Easy access to conference's key information (venue, accommodation, sponsors etc.) * Conference's venue maps * Offline functionality.
