Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy consumption in buildings accounts for a significant ratio of the energy supply worldwide, and it is anticipated to rise much further. Buildings use 40% of primary energy and 76% of electricity in the United States, according to statistics reported on building energy consumption. The home and business sectors use around 30% of the energy in the world. Additionally, the IEO2013 Reference scenario predicts a 57% increase in worldwide home energy use between 2010 and 2040. Energy demands are anticipated to significantly increase as industry grows and living standards improve. Significant efforts have been undertaken recently to increase energy saving/efficiency in both developed and developing nations in order to address these challenges. The proposed research topic of the current Special Issue concentrates on the energy evaluation and energy-saving methodologies in buildings in future energy grids, including but not limited to energy-efficient design strategies for buildings, economic evaluation of energy saving in buildings, evaluation of energy performance indicators in buildings, energy-saving measures in buildings, net-zero and zero-energy buildings and energy efficiency solutions, sustainable and green buildings, design of low-energy buildings, energy-flexible buildings, and energy management methodologies in buildings.
