MIBS students presented their research work at Sustainable Built Environment Conference Zurich 2025

Four of our MIBS students recently had the opportunity to present their research work at the confence, showcasing how innovative thinking and advanced methodologies are shaping the future of sustainable design and construction.
Here’s a look at their research topics:
- Gustavo Z. Bittencourt presented "Casamatic: Performance-Based Building Generation via Conditional Autoencoders", exploring the potential of inverse design for future-proof buildings through generative machine learning models.
- Rino Sogno and Esteban Zupan (co-author) demonstrated how "Data-Driven Hourly Heating Demand Prediction for Residential Buildings" can be achieved using machine learning techniques.
- Yiqiao Wang offered insights into "Prioritization of Urban Energy System Renovation through Bi-level Energy Hub Optimization".
- Esteban Zupan proposed the use of a "Parametric LCA Tool for Assessing Whole-Life Carbon Emissions of Electrical Substations Utilizing BIM" for Axpo Group.
We are proud of their contributions and excited to see how their research will impact the built environment.
