Energy Efficiency in Plants and Buildings 2020

Dear Colleagues,

The Institute for Energy, Economy, and Application Technology analyses the techno-economic fundamentals of energy supply. The combination of all technologies from the exploring of primary energy via energy conversion through to energy consumption has to be considered. Apart from getting conventional systems of energy supply technologies to use exhaustible resources more efficiently, renewable energy sources are becoming more important. Energy application includes all types of energy demand and ways to supply it efficiently, e.g., new methods for industrial process heat, and combined heat and power (CHP) with fuel cells or solar technology. This Special Issue concentrates on energy efficiency in plants and buildings, as they are the most important energy consumers next to the transport sector, encouraging researchers to hand in papers that focus on the topic. Your contribution may describe new theories, modelling, characterizations, improvements, topology, control methods, and applications. I am looking forward to receiving your submissions.
