Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling for Smart Buildings Design

Dear Colleagues,

The development of intelligent buildings makes it possible to provide answers to multiple and intersecting challenges: new professions, low and more flexible energy consumption, user services, digitization, digital model, artificial intelligence, increased integration of renewable energies, quality of air and interoperability. A smart building must be able to ensure a healthy environment and better management of energy consumption. Today, any building, residential or tertiary, new or existing, is likely to be intelligent.

This Special Issue focuses on the solutions to be implemented for the development of intelligent buildings.

In the design of buildings, the use of CFD is imperative to model the temperature and air quality in spaces. This allows designers to study internal conditions prior to building construction.

The scope of this Special Issue covers a wide range of related topics, but is not limited to: Modeling of airflows in buildings, Heat and mass transfer in buildings, Simulation for innovative heating and cooling systems, Building materials and products for energy efficiency, Simulation and experiments on energy-efficient HVAC systems, Simulation and experiments on building envelope for building energy efficiency.

I sincerely invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue of Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling for Smart Building Design by submitting full reviews or original.

Prof. Dr. Zohir Younsi

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
