Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Simulation models are an example of the recent advances of information technology and computer sciences. They have simplified the work of engineers and decision-making personnel in the design of new designs, systems, and procedures, making modelling and simulation a key step prior to any construction stage. For the past years, simulation models have been utilized within the construction industry as a tool to tackle complex challenges under limited resources and time, becoming a real cost-efficient solution for construction practitioners.
This special issue of the journal Buildings aims to cover recent advances in the development and application of simulation modelling for the construction sector. This topic may be addressed from the urban to microscopic scale and for all the phases of any built asset life cycle: from the schematic design to detailed design and construction, commissioning, operation, control and maintenance, and deconstruction of new and existing built assets.

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.
