Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-carbon building energy systems refer to building energy systems that adopt efficient and low-carbon energy technology and equipment to save energy, as well as to reduce and recycle greenhouse gas emissions during the entire life cycle of a building (including site selection, planning and design, construction, use management and demolition processes). Low-carbon building energy systems use high-performance energy equipment and systems to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption and achieve high efficiency. At the same time, these systems actively use renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, etc., to reduce dependence on traditional fossil energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve a low-carbon status. Low-carbon building energy systems focus on energy recycling and sustainable development to attain sustainable energy use and overall sustainability. They are an important method of achieving the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" in the building field. By adopting efficient and low-carbon energy technologies and equipment, actively using renewable energy, conserving energy, and reducing and recycling emissions, the sustainable development of the construction industry can be promoted.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to explore the recent developments in low-carbon building energy systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New building energy-saving technology;
- Low- or zero-carbon building energy systems;
- Efficient energy conversion and storage technology；
- Renewable energy utilization technology；
- Multi-energy complementation and comprehensive utilization of energy technology；
- Energy management system optimization；
- Building carbon reduction technology.

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.
