Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of renewable energies and energy saving and efficiency are needs of global society. According to the latest estimates, global energy demand could triple by 2050 and, by then, 70% of the world's population will live in cities. Cities are currently responsible for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions, so they have a key role to play in shifting towards a sustainable energy future. Cities are threatened not only by overcrowding, but also by rising energy demand, obsolete infrastructure, volatile energy markets, and the effects of climate change.
This Special Issue aims to advance the contribution of energy saving and the use of renewable energies in order to achieve more sustainable cities. This Special Issue seeks contributions spanning a broad range of topics related, but not limited to:
Solar energy;
The use of rooftops for energy generation;
Energy conversion from urban biomass or residues;
Energy management for sewage water;
Bioclimatic architecture and green buildings;
Wind energy;
Cogeneration;
Public and private urban energy saving;
Policy for urban energy saving;
Smart meters;
Zero-energy buildings;
Legislations, regulations and standards of energy
