**********************************************************************************
9th International Conference on Sustainability in Energy and Buildings (SEB17)
5th – 7th July 2017
Location: Chania, Crete, Greece
http://seb-17.sustainedenergy.org/index.php
**********************************************************************************
We are pleased to invite contributions for SEB17 taking place in Chania, Crete, Greece organised by KES International
and Cardiff Metropolitan University.
SEB-17 invites participation and paper submissions across a broad range of sustainability and energy related topics relevant
to the main theme of Sustainability in Energy and Buildings.
Applicable areas include sustainable design and of buildings, neighbourhoods, cities and rural conurbations
(built and natural environment); optimisation and modelling techniques; smart energy systems for smart cities and smart
rural conurbations; green information communications technology; and well as a broad range of solar, wind, wave and other
renewable energy topics.

Location
=========
The SEB17 conference will be held in the City of Chania on the Island of Crete in Greece at the Akali Hotel.
Chania is one of the most beautiful cities on Crete and thought by many to be the most picturesque in Greece.
Chania is a bustling city with both old and modern sections famed for the Venetian Harbour, the old port, the narrow
shopping streets and waterfront restaurants.
The Old Town is a major attraction with its twisting narrow lanes and its mainly pedestrianised alleys.
There is a variety of old stone villas and houses, many of which have been converted into comfortable hotels, popular restaurants
and tavernas, bars, and shops offering a wide variety of gift items.
The port and harbour section, boasts impressive Venetian walls that protected the old Firkas Fortress,
a Venetian lighthouse, and an ancient Turkish mosque. Chania is the location of one of the island's major airports,
and it is also an important port both for cruise ships and ferries.
