Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In buildings, energy systems are the main source of energy consumption and carbon emissions, as well as the decisive factor affecting residents’ comfort and health. To achieve carbon neutrality in the construction field, the low-carbon development of energy systems in buildings has become an inevitable trend. Therefore, innovative attempts on the enhancement of efficiency, optimization of design and operation, employment of renewable sources, and reduction in consumption and emissions are of great reference value for the sustainable development of building energy systems.
This Special Issue aims to provide a communication platform for reporting the latest research progress for energy systems in buildings and evaluating the effectiveness of relevant scientific theories, advanced technologies, and operation and management optimization strategies applied in building energy system improvement. Original research into numerical, experimental, observational, analytical, and optimization/management studies that contribute towards the understanding and improvement of building energy system are encouraged. The research scope includes, but is not limited to:
- Innovative building energy systems, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, fire protection, elevators, and power supply;
- Optimization of building energy systems;
- New technologies for renewable energy applications in building energy systems, such as building integrated solar thermal, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), energy storage, ground source/water source heat pumps, etc.;
- Building information technology, building energy consumption simulation technology, intelligent building management technology.
