Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy and electricity generation relying on non-renewable fossil fuels has accounted for 60–80% of global greenhouse gases emissions, a factor which is worsening the impacts of climate change (UNEP). The recent devastating floods in Pakistan demonstrated an example of how global activities have triggered global warming, which subsequently acts to intensify the monsoon rainfalls and cause frequent floods (BBC News, September 2022). Under “Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7: Affordable and Clean Energy” (UN DESA), one of the targets in reaching the net-zero emissions by 2050 is to inflate the international collaboration in facilitating access to promoting investment in sustainable energy technology by 2030. We have about 8 years to meet this target, and it is incumbent upon humanity to work hand in hand with the global community and opt for alternatives over non-renewables and reduce at least 50% of harmful gas emissions by 2030. The key resolution in tackling the climate challenge in this context is to offer sustainable, affordable, reliable, and clean energy strategies towards our locality, ensuring we are living in a safeguarded built environment. This Special Issue, entitled “Numerical and Computing Methods in Sustainable Energy System for Built Environment”, aims to publicize scientific numerical research contributions towards to enhance the application of sustainable energy solutions by targeting nearly net-zero carbon emissions in the scope of the built environment i.e., buildings, facilities, and man-made infrastructures. The submitted manuscripts should adhere to the following themes, have novelty value and be innovative.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Mathematics 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.
