Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy consumption and carbon emissions in the building sector have become the focus of global attention under the goal of curbing global warming. However, many factors, such as building materials, envelopes, electromechanical system, etc., have a certain impact on the energy consumption, as well as carbon emissions, involving every stage in a building’s life cycles. This makes the mitigation of energy use and its environmental impacts complex. Through the innovation of energy conservation and carbon emission reduction technology, the improvement of energy efficiency and low-carbon performance in buildings has become a crucial research area.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to explore the advanced theories, technologies, and tools in the field of building energy efficiency and low-carbon performance against the background of carbon neutrality. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
（1）Building energy conservation;
（2）The evaluation of building energy efficiency and low-carbon performance;
（3）The low-carbon technology of green buildings throughout a building’s life cycle;
（4）Renewable energy utilization;
（5）Bridging the low-carbon development of buildings and urban renewal;
（6）The low-carbon performance of historical buildings;
（7）Technology for zero-carbon building and its application.

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.
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.
