Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increasing number of countries are committed to becoming “carbon-neutral”. In the context of the current times, the civil engineering industry is facing a series of severe challenges to meet the global goal of carbon neutrality, including tremendous resource consumption, waste disposal, and environmental pollution. Additionally, there is an urgent need to facilitate the application of green materials and technology in the construction industry. For example, industrial solid wastes have significant potential for utilization in various projects of civil engineering, which are attractive from a social and environmental perspective. Additionally, the innovation and economic building technologies for reducing carbon emissions also need to be advocated. The Special Issue is aimed at promoting the development and application of green materials and technology in the construction industry, establishing communication channels between civil engineers, researchers, and practitioners.
This Special Issue, " Application of Green Materials and Technology in the Construction Industry " in Buildings welcomes high-quality original research papers, which describe the most significant research in solid waste recycling, the application of green building materials, and the economic construction industry. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable or green materials for construction;
- Energy-saving, economic, and carbon reduction of construction technology;
- Integrated technique for construction materials, repair, and renovation in sustainable construction;
- Recycling raw materials (construction and demolition waste, industrial waste) in building materials production;
- Case studies in sustainable or green construction materials and technology.
Professor Liu warmly invites authors to submit their original papers for potential inclusion in this Special Issue on Application of Green Materials and Technology in the Construction Industry.
