Sustainable, Resilient, and Intelligent Buildings

Dear Colleagues,

With the recent advancements in the architectural, engineering, and construction industry, there are endless opportunities to make buildings and developments more sustainable, resilient, and intelligent. This Special Issue focuses on methods, principles, strategies, and technologies used to plan, design, construct, manage, and operate buildings to ensure they are resilient, smart, environmentally responsible, and resource-efficient throughout their entire life cycle from site selection to demolition or re-use. This Special Issue is not limited to particular building-related sustainability and resilience areas or applications, but rather, it aims to provide a holistic approach toward means needed for ensuring that developments and community spaces are resilient while also supporting the regeneration of resources and natural systems as well as providing socioeconomic benefits through a thriving circular economy. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Rayan H. Assaad
