Procedures and Methodologies for the Control and Improvement of Energy-Environmental Quality in Construction

Dear Colleagues,

The energy and environmental performance of buildings is of primary interest, since the building sector is responsible for a large amount of energy consumption and related emissions. Building renovation to improve the above-mentioned performance as well as ensuring a better built environment is crucial.

For this purpose, “Procedures and Methodologies for the Control and Improvement of Energy-Environmental Quality in Construction” require reliability, robustness, and easy adoption at a building and an urban scale.

This Special Issue aims at providing the state-of-the-art on procedures and methodologies developed to improve energy and environmental performance through building renovation.

Building physics experts, building technology researchers, and urban environment scholars are warmly invited to contribute to this Special Issue by sharing their original works in the field.
