Building Physics and Sustainable Design of Transportation Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Buildings and transportation are the most energivorous sectors, and increasing the sustainability and energy efficiency of these systems is a key factor in reducing pollution. The development and implementation of innovative design criteria and the adoption of renewable-based technologies are promising solutions to promote green and environmentally friendly policies.

We would like to invite submissions of new research results, case studies and practices to this Topic in this interdisciplinary field in order to provide a common framework to authors from different research areas.

The Topics of interest for publication are the following:

• Advanced envelope technologies and new materials;
• Building Information Modelling and integrated design approaches;
• District heating and cooling;
• Electrical storage systems;
• E-mobility;
• Energy-efficient transportation systems;
• Energy sustainability, resilience and climate adaptability of systems;
• Heat pumps;
• Heat recovery systems;
• Natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilation;
• Renewable energy systems and devices;
• Smart buildings, districts and communities;
• Solar heating and cooling;
• Thermal energy storage technologies;
• Vehicle-to-building and vehicle-to-grid.
