Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Buildings contribute to significant carbon emissions around the world. In an effort to reduce carbon emission in the sector, sustainable architecture designs have been widely implemented in the building sector. A wide range of sustainable building designs have emerged in the past around the world to mitigate the environmental challenges in various regions. However, co-ordinations and more detailed studies are urgently required to ascertain the effectiveness of each of these architecture measures/ designs in achieving their aims, i.e., reducing environmental impact. Energy consumption in the building sector has been highly regarded as a key issue to be addressed. The move from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources for implementation in buildings has been recognized as a way of improving the energy performance and environmental aspect of built environments.
This Special Issue aims to extend the analysis on the energy performance of various types of sustainable architecture design measures by focusing discussions on the following areas (among others):
- State of the art of sustainable architecture designs and technological measures;
- Energy-efficient passive design approaches;
- Sustainable building materials;
- Whole-life cycle analysis;
- Experimental and simulation analysis of designs/measures;
- Sustainable architecture designs for all types of building applications;
- Energy performance studies of designs/measures.

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 monthly journal published by MDPI.
