Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of our former initiative, we wish to encourage you to contribute a paper to the Topic "Sustainability in Buildings: New Trends in the Management of Construction and Demolition Waste, 3rd Edition".

This Topic aims to collect works related to the use of new sustainable building materials, new trends in the recycling of materials for their application in construction, and the application of new techniques and measurement processes that favor the development of sustainable construction.

Contributions related to the proposed lines of research and those that allow for improvements in the management of construction and demolition waste to facilitate their application in the building sector are appreciated. The main goal is to promote the development of new construction materials and new measurement techniques from different perspectives, such as sustainability, materials science, measurement techniques, and the development of novel sensors and data collection equipment. However, there is also room for other contributions related to construction that are in line with the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals included in the 2030 agenda.

Therefore, this Topic can complement the existing literature on construction and demolition waste management from a multidisciplinary perspective that encourages the exchange of ideas and perspectives. For this reason, we encourage all researchers working in areas of knowledge related to construction materials and green buildings to submit their research.
