For the first time the conference will be held in two countries & cities at the same time: Singapore & Krems-Austria in early October 2024. Preserving the world´s ecology and culture, as well as buildings, is a task for the entire planet. The Fifth International Conference on building conservation brings together two very different climatic and cultural zones. 

Achieving the goals of reducing energy consumption and climate change will require the contribution of all sectors including the construction industry. Historic and traditional buildings represent a significant and growing proportion of the world´s building stock. Solutions are needed that respect the historic fabric of these buildings while contributing to energy efficiency improvements.
