Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between humans and the indoor built environment is a critical issue in the building science domain, and the quality of indoor environments has become more important topic than ever, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There have been various attempts to understand how the indoor environment affects thermal and lighting comfort as well as the occupant’s behavior and productivity. The interactions between humans and the indoor built environment are quantifiable and predictable via new data acquisition methods as well as novel sensing technology for human physiological signals. The development of machine learning and building IoT technology also enables new strategies to analyze environmental data and human signals from new perspectives. However, considering its multidisciplinary nature, there are still intellectual challenges and knowledge gaps in the human–building integration domain, and new insights and novel approaches into the domain are required to expand the understanding and explore unknown possibilities.
In this background, the purpose of this Special Issue is to provide the latest research findings on comprehensive relationships in human–building integration, regarding thermal comfort, lighting comfort, physiological signals, occupant’s behavior, productivity, perceived air quality, indoor environmental quality, and human sensing technology. This Special Issue will accept original research papers based on field experiments/surveys, lab experiments, statistical analysis, and simulation/modeling, as well as case studies or review papers.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
