Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to contribute a research or review paper for this Collection on reducing the energy needs of buildings, improving building energy efficiency, and improving how energy is managed in buildings. The main topics are presented below:
- Solar and other renewable energy sources in buildings;
- Intelligent buildings;
- Data science (AI, machine learning) for building energy management;
- Zero-energy, low-energy, and carbon-neutral buildings;
- Life-cycle energy efficiency of buildings and embodied energy;
- Life-cycle assessment (LCA) of buildings;
- Building physics as applied to energy;
- Energy consumption in buildings;
- Building energy demand management;
- District heating and cooling;
- Heat recovery systems for buildings;
- Building energy storage;
- Lighting and other factors related to energy;
- Smart energy scheduling in hospitals and public buildings.
