Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the development, implementation, and analysis of innovative sustainable energy technologies and energy-saving solutions for buildings. With the pressing need to mitigate climate change and enhance energy efficiency, the building sector plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainable practices.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the following scientific areas:
- Renewable energy integration in buildings (e.g., solar thermal, solar PV, wind, and geothermal systems).
- Advanced energy-efficient materials and construction technologies (e.g., phase change materials, cooling coatings, and thermochromic dyes).
- Highly efficient and novel energy systems for buildings (advanced heat pumps, cogeneration systems, etc.)
- Smart building systems and IoT applications for energy management aiming for sustainable performance.
- Novel dynamic modeling techniques in buildings for sustainable design.
- Economic and environmental analysis of sustainable building technologies.
- Case studies showcasing successful implementations of energy-saving strategies in buildings.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
