Energy Optimization: Advanced Technologies Applied in Green Buildings

Dear Colleagues,

More than 1/3 of the total energy of IEA countries are consumed in buildings. The last shortage in energy supply and the increasing energy prices in the last few years are increasing the importance of  green buildings. Besides the efficient energy consumption, Green buildings also define the utilization of the materials from start of the structure to abandon buildings and recycling of the used materials. Until today very good achievements were already made in Green Buildings and many new technologies are emerging in the last few years. In this Special Issue “Energy Optimization: Advanced Technologies Applied in Green Buildings”, applied advanced technologies in Green Buildings aim to be presented and introduced to researchers, scientists, engineers, architects and other people who interested in these topics.

Research studies, applied for theoretical or experimental works and review papers are expected for this special issue. Relevant topics, including but not limited to:

• Energy efficiency in buildings
• New heating & cooling and air conditioning technologies
• Ground / water / air heat pump systems
• Passive houses
• Energy storage in buildings
• Smart houses, smart systems
• Artificial Intelligence in house management
• Efficient lightning and electricity consumption
• Green renovation in old buildings
• Decreasing pollution, emissions, waste and other side effects of buildings
• Building modeling, BIM Modeling
