Preface

The 26^th International Conference on Building Materials, Products and Technologies (ICBMPT 2023) was held on 23th to 25th May 2023. The participants appreciated our choice to organize the conference again in the beautiful town of Telč in the Czech Republic, which is popular with many tourists, because it belongs to the cultural heritage under protection of UNESCO.

Despite the short time since last year's conference, the organizers from the Research Institute for Building Materials collected 12 interesting papers among research workplaces in the Czech Republic and abroad. The conference brings not only interesting presentations, but also it creates a platform for scientific discussions and proposals of new mutual projects.

The main topics of ICBMPT 2023 were: Inorganic binders, Composite materials, Building materials based on secondary raw materials, and Technology and test methods in building industry. Also, several keynote speakers were attracted to contribute to our conference. Besides the conference program, there was a possibility to take part in the specialized workshop Healthy Buildings with many interesting topics, among others façade issues, asbestos treatment, healthy indoor environment and biodeteriogens in building environment. We would like to thank all the participants for their valuable contribution to the conference. We would like to express our gratitude to the reviewers for their time, valuable recommendations and constructive evaluation, in order to guarantee high quality of all the papers. We are looking forward to the next conference!
