Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the impacts of climate change intensify, the urgent need for sustainable building practices is becoming more apparent. This Special Issue aims to delve into innovative energy techniques that not only promote sustainability but also bolster resilience in green buildings, adapting to ever-changing climatic conditions. From sophisticated passive design strategies that maximize natural resources to the integration of state-of-the-art renewable energy technologies, this Special Issue emphasizes solutions that not only mitigate the environmental impact but also elevate building performance and enhance occupant comfort. By proactively addressing the distinctive challenges posed by climate change, the research presented in this Special Issue will significantly contribute to the ongoing global efforts aimed at fostering a more resilient and sustainable built environment for future generations.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Climate change adaptation;
- Green buildings;
- Renewable energy;
- Passive design strategies;
- Resilience;
- Sustainable architecture;
- Energy efficiency;
- Building performance;
- Occupant comfort;
- Environmental impact mitigation.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
