Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely used to solve various building problems, especially in the field of building design and environmental control, where it can improve the design level, optimize building performance, and control the comfort of indoor environments. The generation of design schemes using artificial intelligence models and platforms, the identification of building design elements, the machine learning-based prediction of building performance, and algorithm-driven multi-objective collaborative optimization have brought about innovative changes to traditional design work. Among the AI functions increasingly attracting the interest of the research community is its potential to help create healthier and more comfortable indoor environments by monitoring and analyzing temperature, humidity, air quality, lighting, and occupant behavior data and then regulating heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting systems to control and improve indoor environmental quality.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the field of AI-assisted building design and environmental control. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey 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. Applied Sciences 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.
