Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue on Sustainable Construction Systems in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Sustainable construction is key to addressing humanity's urgent challenges, including environmental degradation, energy scarcity, and the push for low-carbon solutions in the face of climate change. This Special Issue focuses on innovative approaches to transforming the traditional construction approach and addressing critical problems such as resource inefficiency, high carbon emissions, and the vulnerability of infrastructure to extreme weather events. This Special Issue will cover topic including, but not limited to, energy-efficient building design, green and carbon-neutral materials, resilient and adaptive infrastructure, and the role of digitalization and automation in modern construction. We seek cutting-edge research that not only advances theoretical understanding but also offers practical solutions to pressing scientific and engineering challenges, providing tangible benefits for both industry and society.
Authors are required to submit original, innovative work that includes comprehensive analysis and validation of the proposed methods’ contributions to the field. Submissions should demonstrate the impact of the work through experimental, theoretical, simulation-based, or data-driven approaches, all of which are welcome in this Special Issue.

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.
