Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The building sector accounts for a large portion of global energy consumption. Traditional building materials and building solutions will cause environmental pollution and climate change. Solutions for sustainable green buildings has become an important issue.
While the construction industry traditionally lags behind other sectors in terms of technology adoption, it has embraced advanced technologies in both construction and management operations. One such innovation is building information modeling (BIM), which allows architects, engineers, and construction experts to visualize the entire construction project, fostering improved collaboration and coordination among diverse teams. These technological advancements are continuously evolving and are poised to revolutionize the construction industry further, enhancing the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability of construction processes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Building information modeling (BIM);
- Sustainable construction management;
- Built environment;
- Advanced materials;
- Smart buildings;
- Energy-efficient technologies;
- Advanced technologies in construction;
- Low carbon buildings.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Liyaning (Maggie) Tang
