Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During recent years, there has been growing worldwide concern, due to the notable increase in pollution levels. The construction sector is directly responsible for this situation: buildings are large energy consumers, and during their construction or rehabilitation phases, they generate a huge amount of waste which, in most cases, is not managed effectively.
In that sense, and due to the creation of directives and regulations, several researchers have focused on the development of eco-efficient architecture constructions. They try to design sustainable buildings by reducing their energy consumption, their harmful emissions, or the amount of waste generated during their works.
Furthermore, several investigations have been carried out on the generation of new eco-efficient building materials; the reuse of several types of waste is one of the most common strategies for their creation. However, there is still a long way to go in this field, and the launch of new research and initiatives is essential for any progress to be made.
Thus, the main goal of this call for papers is to share new research areas, which focus on the generation of new environmentally friendly architectural construction and building materials. Researchers are therefore invited to share their proposals related to the design, creation and development of sustainable architecture and building products, taking into account several aspects, such as their environmental impacts, their energy behavior, or their mechanical improvements.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
