Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable construction is one of the most critical issues in the construction industry around the world and continuous efforts to enhance the sustainability of construction have been made in both the academic and practical fields. A range of approaches have been explored in the construction supply chain to achieve the goals of sustainable construction, which reduce the industry’s impact on the environment through the use of renewable and recyclable resources, reducing energy consumption and waste, and creating a healthy, environmentally friendly system. Similarly, there are many studies that focus on the implementation of sustainable construction in the construction management field, including life-cycle assessment, lean construction, sustainable supply chain management, sustainable construction methods, and sustainable construction site management. Recently, sustainable construction management has extended its scope to include to the selection of sustainable delivery methods, pre-construction for sustainability, computational design and engineering for sustainability, and off-site construction. Moreover, with the development of computational research methods and emerging technologies, investigations in this field are making remarkable advancements.

The purpose of the Special Issue on “Sustainable Construction Management and Computer Simulation” is to publish state-of-the-art computational research trends and results in the context of sustainable construction management. The Special Issue focuses on, but is not limited to, computer simulations such as discrete-event simulations, system dynamics, agent-based simulations, and hybrid simulations used in computational research methods. Research focused on emerging technologies such as data mining, artificial intelligence, image processing, and big data to enhance performance in combination with simulations is also welcome.

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 papers will be 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 1900 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.
