INTRODUCTION AND GREETINGS

guilin¡¡¡¡ We sincerely invite you to attend the 5th International Workshop on Energy and Environment of Residential Buildings and the 3rd International Conference on Built Environment and Public Health (EERB-BEPH 2009) in Guilin, Guangxi Province, China in May 2009, jointly organized by Hunan University, the University of Hong Kong and Tsinghua University.

EERB workshops were initiated in Sendai, Japan in 2000, followed by Shanghai, China in 2002, Xi'an, China in 2004 and Harbin, China in 2007. BEPH conferences were initiated in Changsha£¬China in 2003 and followed by Shantou, China in 2004.

Reducing energy consumption in buildings and improving built and indoor environment for health are two closely related and challenging issues. EERB-BEPH 2009 aims to improve indoor and built environment, energy utilization and health by means of an ¡°integrated approach¡±, considering the building and occupants as a coupled system. We hope to document the most recent research advances in indoor air quality, ventilation, energy conservation and public health related to indoor air; and to provide a platform for participants from around the world to exchange ideas. EERB-BEPH 2009 should be of interest to scientists, research students, government officials, engineers, architects, industrial hygienists, building owners, building consultants and facilities managers.

We welcome you to EERB-BEPH 2009 and look forward to meeting you in beautiful Guilin.
