Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the multi-energy coupling theory of sustainable architecture and the mechanisms of creating a healthy indoor environment. Different energy conversion and quality assurance technologies can be utilized to achieve the goal of a green, healthy, and comfortable indoor environment.
We welcome papers on the following topics:
- Energy efficiency improvement methods for comprehensive utilization of low-carbon energy;
- Dynamic response between energy application and building energy efficiency;
- Goal and optimization for creating a comfortable and healthy indoor environment in buildings;
- Indoor environment prediction models and health assessment for residential buildings.
