Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to draw your attention to this Special Issue on new trends of energy monitoring and management in buildings to evaluate the role of buildings in the energy transition. This Special Issue calls for papers on the following topics:
- Methods to automate data exploitation and decision making in the context of smart buildings with a high degree of automation, and the deployment of sensors in technical equipment for more energy-efficient management.
- Sensing and computing strategies to characterize the user behavior (occupancy and use of spaces, usage and typology of activities, etc.) and the impact of such activities and behavior in the building energy account.
- Optimal management and scheduling of energy assets, including self-generation, storage for efficient operation, and grid interaction. Buildings as flexibility providers.
- Energy communities and neighborhoods: energy interaction and sharing. Integrated energy management in communities and local energy trade.
The focus of this Special Issue is on strategies to accelerate the role of buildings in the energy transition. With this aim, papers examining the integration of legacy systems (BMS/BEMS, SCADAs) with new sensing (IoT, WSN, crowdsensing) and computing (cloud/edge/fog) strategies are welcomed and appreciated. Greater interest is also paid to scalable solutions rather than individual experiments in this Special Issue.

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.
