Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The IPCC's AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023 shows that global temperatures are expected to rise by more than 1.5 ℃ in the 21st century. Global warming is the result of energy consumption, with buildings accounting for 30% of global end-use energy consumption. Using green energy, adjusting the energy structure, promoting the integration of green energy buildings, and innovating the application of low-carbon energy in buildings are important ways to deal with the problem of energy shortage, reduce building carbon emissions, and slow down global warming.

This Special Issue publishes selected papers from the 19th China Renewable Energy Conference Solar Building Branch and the 7th Towards Capacity Building Technology Development Forum (https://meeting.creac.org.cn/10591.html), and it aims to publish the latest original research on the integrated utilization of green energies in buildings, emphasizing innovative theories, methods and technologies, including but not limited to the following topics:

  • Green energies and building/community/landscape/city construction;
  • Green energy integrated buildings (thermal utilization, electricity generation, combined production of thermal and electricity, etc.);
  • Low-carbon energy employment and innovation in buildings;
  • Photovoltaic, energy storage, direct current, flexibility application in buildings;
  • Efficient storage and conversion of building energies.

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.
