Advances in Energy Conservation and Rational Use of Energy

Dear Colleagues,

The use of energy is an essential issue to achieve the goal not only in the scientific and technical aspect, but also in the social and economic aspect. Therefore, this Special issues is intended for new ideas and experimental results in the field of energy conservation and rational use of energy.

Areas relevant to energy conservation and rational use of energy include but are not limited to:

• Effective energy consumption;
• Energy-saving program;
• Energy system efficiency;
• Effective energy transaction;
• Energy sharing;
• Community energy;
• Sector coupling;
• Social-economic impact of energy.
