Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to the journal Energies for a Special Issue that will be entirely devoted to “Energy conservation and carbon mitigation technology of buildings”. The Special Issue will expand on essential technical challenges for building energy conservation and carbon mitigation. This Special Issue continues to be the best opportunity you will have to exchange information, formulate strategic ideas, and solve problems to manage and optimize your unconventional resource plays.
Energy conservation and carbon mitigation of buildings are essential for realizing carbon neutrality. There are many innovations in building energy conservation technology and decarbonization technology, including the application of renewable energy in buildings, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), building electrification, intelligent control, etc. Therefore, the progress in technology improvement and the positive effects of government policy for buildings to transition into being carbon-neutral are worthy of investigation. It can promote the development of zero-carbon buildings and assist the government in developing more accurate and feasible strategies for building decarbonization.
Under this research topic, we call for papers that focus on the technology and method for achieving building decarbonization from a theoretical and practical perspective. The studies in carbon mitigation management and policy for the building sector worldwide are welcome. The research topic is intended as a state-of-the-art resource for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in assessing the pathways to carbon neutrality in low-carbon buildings and communities. Topics of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Application of renewable energy in buildings.
- CCUS technology for building decarbonization.
- Energy conservation technology for buildings.
- Low-carbon buildings and communities.
- Pathways for building decarbonization.
- Energy flexibility of buildings.
- Demand response management and control.
- Integrated energy networks and microgrids.

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.
