Building Energy Efficiency

Dear Colleagues,

The goal of Carbon Neutrality by 2050 is an important global agenda to protect the earth and overcome the climate change crisis. This is an urgent issue, so many countries are suggesting carbon-neutral strategies, such as the use of renewable energy systems, innovative energy systems, and Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS), etc. Furthermore, buildings have a vital role because greenhouse gas emissions from buildings are the major factor in climate change, except in the field of industry. In addition, the cost of carbon reduction measures for buildings is economical compared to other fields. Thus, Zero Energy Building (ZEB) design, retrofit strategies, energy-efficient operation using Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS), and energy/materials recycling in the perspective of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) should be considered to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. In this Topic, we are looking for various strategies for Building Energy Efficiency to achieve the Carbon Neutrality. Your papers will help readers and researchers better understand holistic approaches to attain matured Building Energy Efficiency that can significantly contribute to the global goal.
