Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reacting to the recent UN reports on the need for accelerated action on reducing the effect of buildings on the climate change, Journal of Sustainabily gave professors Kalamees (TalTech, Estonia) and Bomberg (Clarkson U, NY, USA) a privilidge to collect papers for development a special issues on retrofit (renovation, rehabilitation, envirornmental upgrade of existing buildings of any type, shape and character including histrotic buildings) with the focus on Integration of Energy and Indoor Environment in Buildings. Today, an achitect loooking for a technology bliueprint may find 138 research projects on Horizon 2020 or 150 papers published by each of the leading publishers like Elsevier or MDPI and another 100 on Building Automation in IEEE, Sprringer or Informa. With the overflow of publications we need to give a reader a focus on new developments in a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to methods for new and retrofitting construction.
We want to publish this special issue in the format of e-book with the print on demand.

Organization:
- The corresponding author sends either an extended abstract (up to 500 words), or an outline of the paper to both of guest editors. The guest editor will reply directly to the author and may recommend some modifications to focus in the preparation of the paper.
- Review process goes without involvement of the guest editors and when the paper is approved the publisher sends a copy to the editors who make a final decision.
- If the paper accepted to the special publication the guest editors will notify the editor of the journal and a reduced processing fee will be applied, otherwise, the paper goes the standard route of the publication submitted to the open access publication
