Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Sustainability, entitled “Innovative Green Building Materials: Trends Revolutionizing the Construction Industry”, is devoted to modern and innovative building materials. Ecomaterials represent an element of the production of building materials and are essential and necessary for sustainable construction. This publication will enable scientists and engineers to exchange the advances in theoretical, computational, design, and technological aspects related to the production of ecomaterials and their practical use.
The main areas of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, new construction ecomaterials, laboratory testing methods for construction materials, eco-friendly concrete additives and admixtures, the recycling of construction materials, passive houses, and numerical and analytical computational techniques in zero-energy structures.
Sustainability readers and authors are encouraged to submit recent research papers in these areas, with an emphasis on experimental validation and empirical proof.
