Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a widely accepted fact that active participation of buildings is a key part of future smart grids. Efficient operation of buildings can result in substantial energy savings for building managers. It can also provide a powerful tool for utility operators. However, harnessing the full potential of buildings is particularly challenging due to the many uncertainties associated with their modeling and operation. In addition, the emergence of buildings as prosumers adds more complexity to the grid operation.
This Special Issue will focus on the modeling and optimal operation of different types of buildings. We would like to invite you to contribute your articles documenting recent results on the efficient operation of buildings and building–grid interactions. We accept unpublished research, case studies, and review articles on this general topic. We cordially ask you to clearly discuss how a given modeling/control/optimization technique will contribute to harnessing the full potential of buildings.
Dr. Samy Faddel
