Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The modern demand for sustainable and efficient environmental and energy solutions has led to the rapid development of sensor technologies and advanced computational models. The Special Issue "Advanced Sensing and Modeling Techniques for Environmental and Energy Systems" aims to gather original research papers and reviews related to sensors, environmental data, and modeling to enhance energy efficiency, air quality, and climate analysis.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Smart sensors and sensor networks for monitoring environmental parameters (pollution, temperature, humidity, wind conditions).
- Integration of sensor data with computational models (e.g., CFD, RANS, LES, machine learning) for extreme value prediction, energy efficiency analysis, and aerodynamics in enclosed and open environments.
- Development of predictive algorithms and methodologies for environmental conditions based on sensor data and advanced computational models.
- Applications of sensors and models in energy systems (wind, solar, biomass, building energy efficiency, smart grids).
- Optimization of ventilation and air management systems in industrial and urban areas through sensors and predictive models.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers at the forefront of sensor technology and computational modeling, encouraging new collaborations and applications that can improve energy efficiency, environmental protection, and quality of life.
We invite scientists from diverse fields, including engineering, physics, environmental sciences, computational fluid dynamics, and data analysis, to submit their papers.
Dr. George Efthimiou

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. Sensors 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.
