Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Buildings are becoming central hubs for integrating eco-friendly energy sources and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, creating new services that enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. The convergence of these technologies within building infrastructures offers significant opportunities for energy savings and optimization. By incorporating solar photovoltaic systems, advanced energy storage solutions, and EV charging stations, buildings can efficiently manage and utilize energy, contributing to overall carbon reduction goals.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue on "New Trends in Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction for Sustainable Building". This Special Issue aims to explore these emerging trends and the innovative research driving them. We welcome original research, case studies, and comprehensive reviews focused on topics such as AI and data-driven energy management, sustainable mobility solutions, and the integration of energy systems in buildings. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI and data-driven approaches for carbon reduction;
- Integration of energy sources and infrastructures;
- Sustainable mobility solutions in building;
- Advanced HVAC and thermal systems;
- Policy, regulation, and incentives for sustainable building.
