Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the information capacity, the IoT and new building techniques, we are witnessing a new challenges era, centred in sustainability. The new manufacturing structures, the access to the information before, during and after a renovation or new construction will create a new industry paradigm, generating massive digital information that can be used to take more accurate decisions on the elements production, control and planning. Many new areas are working together to create successful models, ontology and methodology in this new context. These new methodologies will improve the efficiency of the processes and achieve less wasteful production.
This Special Issue of the journal Energies will be focused on sustainable energy management of buildings and the integration with BIM technologies.
We invite researchers to contribute original and unique articles, as well as sophisticated review articles. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Energy management models
- Building energy model (BEM)
- Building information modelling (BIM)
- Energy in buildings
- Data fusion and integration for BIM control
- Data exchange and interoperability
- Standardization: gbXML, IFC (industry foundation classes), MVD (model view definition), IDF (input data file)
- Metrics and performance.
