Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The building sector consumes about 30% of the worldwide energy supply and leads to a staggering amount of carbon emissions, in which heating and cooling demands are some of the key factors. Thus, it is significant and urgent to develop clean and low-carbon/zero-carbon heating and cooling technologies to promote sustainability in the operation and maintenance of buildings in the context of growing energy and environmental crises. In recent years, many studies involving sustainable heating and cooling technologies have been conducted in this specific field. To further spread sustainable heating and cooling technologies for low-carbon buildings, this Special Issue on “Sustainable Heating and Cooling Technologies for Low-Carbon Buildings” is being launched to collect cutting-edge research addressing problems and challenges in building heating and cooling. Original research papers reporting critical reviews and theoretical and experimental investigations of new innovations and developments of sustainable heating and cooling technologies for low-carbon buildings 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.

Title: Investigations on the Performance Evaluation of a Multi-stage Evaporative Cooling System for different Climatic conditions in India
Author: CHIRANJEEVI
Highlights: Energy-efficient multi-stage indirect evaporative cooling.
Average chiller capacity reduction of 50-60 TR with indirect evaporative cooling system for different cities of India.
A modified indirect evaporative cooling system can reduce an average cooling capacity of 80–140 TR for various cities.
Overall energy utilization is higher with the modified indirect evaporative cooling system.
