Sustainable Heating and Cooling Technologies for Low-Carbon Buildings

Dear Colleagues,

The building sector consumes about 30% of the worldwide energy supply and leads to a staggering amount of carbon emissions, in which heating and cooling demands are some of the key factors. Thus, it is significant and urgent to develop clean and low-carbon/zero-carbon heating and cooling technologies to promote sustainability in the operation and maintenance of buildings in the context of growing energy and environmental crises. In recent years, many studies involving sustainable heating and cooling technologies have been conducted in this specific field. To further spread sustainable heating and cooling technologies for low-carbon buildings, this Special Issue on “Sustainable Heating and Cooling Technologies for Low-Carbon Buildings” is being launched to collect cutting-edge research addressing problems and challenges in building heating and cooling. Original research papers reporting critical reviews and theoretical and experimental investigations of new innovations and developments of sustainable heating and cooling technologies for low-carbon buildings are welcome.
