Research on Building Wall Insulation Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the general need to reach the sustainable development goals, this Special Issue will promote the development of sustainable products (i.e., wood-based boards for wall panels, recycled materials, environmental friendly materials) and the application of the latest technology via the adoption of building information modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twin (DT) to optimize energy efficiency, energy recover, energy consumption, emissions, transportation, costs, etc. Green products and modern technology will contribute to the reduction of fossil fuel use, supporting circular economy measures. Thermal insulation, as well as acoustic and electromagnetic insulation properties, will be considered.

This Special Issue aims to generate more research interest in the development of multifunctional smart materials with reduced environmental impact and increased insulation properties, for more sustainable building.
