The conference welcomes submissions that address empirical and theoretical questions related to how people interact with the built environment, including meta-analyses, case studies, continuous tracking of biological measures of humans in the built environment, as well as investigations from neighbouring disciplines.

Preference will be given to research teams that include architects and scientists.

Accepted submissions will be chosen for either a talk or poster session. The selection process will be subject to a double-blind peer review. Accepted papers and posters will be published in the conference proceedings indexed with the Library of Congress.

Extended deadline for expressions of interest in presenting at the conference is 1 June 2025.
