Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Paris Agreement was concluded in 2015 in order to restrain problems such as global warming and energy resource depletion. Worldwide, various endeavors are being undertaken with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and becoming carbon neutral. In the building sector, interest in improving energy efficiency and saving energy is on the rise. The development and application of energy-saving methods are crucial in the stages of building design and construction, and the management, automation, and optimization of energy systems are vital in the stage of building operation. Recently, in the field of building energy, research on improving building energy efficiency using advanced technology such as artificial intelligence is being actively conducted. This Special Issue welcomes original research in the area of energy-efficient technology in buildings, smart and intelligent buildings, sustainable and net-zero energy buildings, building optimal control and operation, and building commissioning. Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following specific issues:
- Building energy conversation and efficiency measure
- Building energy audit, assessment and commissioning
- Building energy management System(BEMS)
- Building energy systems design, modeling and optimization
- Building optimal control and operation
- Occupancy comfort and indoor environmental quality
- Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and renewable energy system
- Machine and deep learning based control
- Smart and virtual sensor
- Fault detection diagnosis and calibration (FDD&C)

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.
