Advances in Sustainable Construction
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable construction has been adopted to reduce the environmental footprint while meeting the growing global demand for buildings and infrastructure. Advancing sustainability in construction requires innovative materials, efficient design and construction, and integrated technologies that enhance environmental, economic, and social performance across the entire lifecycle of the built environment.
This Topic invites contributions that explore recent advances in sustainable construction, including digital construction, prefabrication and modular construction, 3D printing, low-carbon and bio-based materials, energy-efficient building systems, circular construction practices, and innovative structural solutions. We welcome studies that integrate digital technologies and analytical tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), artificial intelligence (AI), and smart monitoring systems to improve sustainability performance in design, construction, and operation. Research addressing climate resilience, carbon neutrality, resource efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure development is particularly encouraged.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
