Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concern about energy use has been increasing in the last decades, covering areas from reducing the energy consumption to the use of energy from renewable resources. For all cases, urban areas are the major zones of interest for the study, due to their nature of big energy consumer, for industrial, working and residential activities.
Given the scale of the areas under study (cities, neighborhoods) and the variety of data required for the evaluation of the energy situation regarding both consumption and generation (temperature values, atmospheric data, geometry), satellite acquired data is essential for the resolution of all the questions of interest. From imagery to punctual sensor and radar data, the space and aerial points of view are the main focus.
This special issue is mainly dedicated to publishing a selection of papers that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the state of the art of research activities dealing with the use of remote sensing data (space and aerial) for the analysis of the energy problem. We invite you to submit articles on the following topics:
- Urban energy consumption (residential, transportation)
- Urban energy potential of renewable resources
- Urban heat island
- Novel data processing strategies for the characterization of the scene with energy purposes
- Novel combinations of data types for energy balance
- Novel methodologies to analyze the combined exploitation of renewable energy resources

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
