Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the issue of energy consumption becomes increasingly severe, building energy conservation is no longer an option but a necessity. In addition, building materials and energy systems play a vital role in enhancing the overall energy efficiency of buildings. In other words, developing high-performance building materials to reduce heat and cold losses in building envelopes and exploring new energy systems that integrate solar, wind, and geothermal energy in buildings is essential. Relevant research may involve green insulation materials, renewable energy, distributed energy systems, energy storage, solid waste utilization, energy efficiency, zero-energy buildings, etc. These factors form the foundation of future energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings, inaugurating a new era of sustainable construction.
This Special Issue in Buildings, “New Building Materials and Advanced Energy Systems: High-Performance, Low-Carbon, and Environmentally Friendly”, welcomes high-quality original contributions and high-impact works that are relevant to the topics stated above.
We sincerely look forward to and warmly welcome the submission of your works to this Special Issue.

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.
