Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue provides selected papers in various academic fields, not limited to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in buildings, which were presented at the ISHVAC 2021 conference held during 24–26 November 2021 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. We invited novel and original papers that extend and advance our scientific and technical understanding of healthy, smart, and interactive built environments, which form a strong foundation of smart, net-zero-energy buildings providing healthy indoor environments. The topics of the invited papers are as follows:
- Healthy indoor and urban environments.
- Energy-efficient HVAC systems and components.
- Smart operation, control, and management.
- Big data and machine learning applications.
- Zero-energy buildings.
- Renewable energy systems.
- Building energy simulations.
