Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Advances in Energy Efficiency and Conservation of Green Buildings”. Green buildings, which are able to utilize renewable energy sources to conserve energy and reduce emissions, have gradually become the trend of modern buildings due to their sustainable development characteristics. Recently, many advanced techniques of energy efficiency and conservation in green buildings have arisen, such as photovoltaic, energy storage, direct current and flexibility (PEDF) techniques, natural ventilation, optimal control techniques, etc. These design, optimization and control techniques are critical to the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of green buildings.
This Special Issue will deal with novel design, optimization and control techniques for green buildings. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Design and optimization of green buildings;
- Optimal control techniques of green buildings;
- Photovoltaic systems;
- Energy storage systems;
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems;
- Energy management systems;
- Natural ventilation techniques;
- Full life cycle economic analysis;
- Optimal operation of renewable energy;
- Application of artificial intelligence for green buildings.

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.
