Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Special Issue entitled “Advanced Building Materials for Energy Saving” will deal with new solutions in technology of building materials, which contribute to a reduction in energy consumption. More and more often, the use of low-processed materials with low built-in energy is considered. The reduction in energy consumption in the production of building materials is achieved, for example, using raw materials of plant origin, industrial waste or recycled materials. In addition to the production of building material, energy is used for heating purposes in buildings in the use phase. The key here is the development of materials with good thermal parameters, such as low thermal conductivity and high heat capacity. These will make it possible to reduce the energy demand for heating during the heating season. The processes of utilization of building materials are also energy intensive. The energy consumption of this process can be reduced by materials that can be recycled or by biodegradable materials. Original articles and reviews of building materials, both of natural and synthetic origin, which can contribute to a reduction in energy consumption in the production phase, in the use phase of the building, and in the end of life phase are 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 submissions that pass pre-check are 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. Energies 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 2600 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.
