Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Improving the performance of building energy systems is a major concern for governments, industries, and scholars. However, investigations on the optimization and design of heating and cooling systems still lack maturity for practical implementation. Studies on the optimization and design of building energy systems aim to enhance heating and cooling systems’ energy, economic, and environmental performance by using advanced optimal design and control methods. One typical system is the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (i.e., HVAC) system, which has attracted the attention of scholars. In addition, heating systems using heat pump and solar energy technologies are popular.
This Special Issue on “Optimization and Design of Heating and Cooling System” aims to address recent advances in the aspects of optimization and design of heating and cooling systems, such as optimal design and control approaches for HVAC, heat pump, and solar energy applications.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Building, environmental, and human behavioural sciences;
- Optimal use of energy resources, analysis and optimization of building energy systems, mitigation of environmental pollutants, and sustainable building energy systems;
- Digitalization and digital twins for modern building-integrated energy systems;
- Modeling and forecasting building energy, conservation strategies, and the environmental, social, and economic impacts of energy policies and usage, including climate change mitigation and other environmental pollution reduction;
- Heat pump and solar energy applications.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
