Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to present original studies demonstrating the importance of considering optimal control strategies in modern HVAC systems in order to improve energy management in buildings.
Given the importance of management techniques for integrated energy systems in buildings, such as advanced control approaches, this Special Issue welcomes contributions that discuss these topics.
Papers that investigate topics related to predictive and adaptive control strategies, such as the management of integrated energy systems, that expand upon the current knowledge on HVAC systems are welcome. Topics may include one or more of the following:
- Energy conversion systems;
- Heating and air conditioning systems;
- Integrated energy systems in buildings;
- Building energy consumption;
- Building energy management;
- Predictive control strategies;
- Adaptive control strategies;
- Reinforcement learning;
- Technologies for renewable energy sources;
- Thermofluid dynamics in indoor environments.
Please note that the above list is not exhaustive. Therefore, works focused on other research areas that are relevant to this Special Issue will also be considered.

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. Energies 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.
