Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research and case studies that advance the understanding and application of sustainable strategies in the built environment. We welcome contributions focused on innovations in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications for urban- and building-scale analysis, building energy simulation, indoor environmental quality (IEQ) assessment, and total building performance evaluation. Emphasis is also placed on sustainable energy management, green development, and the integration of digital technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and smart systems in building design and operation.
We encourage multidisciplinary submissions that bridge engineering principles with real-world practice to support low-carbon, high-performance, and human-centric environments. Topics may include, but are not limited to, thermal comfort, ventilation performance, daylighting, energy efficiency, and digitalisation in planning and operations. This Special Issue provides a platform for sharing cutting-edge methodologies, tools, and technologies that shape the future of green buildings and sustainable urban living.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to contribute to this timely and impactful collection.
Dr. Hee Joo POH

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. Buildings 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 2600 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.
