Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Presently, buildings have become one of the main contributors to global energy consumption, and their energy consumption has reached one-third of that of total global consumption, with almost 28% of the global annual greenhouse gas emission coming from the building sector. To cope with this situation, the development of renewable energy technology, such as solar energy, is an effective and promising solution to dealing with the global energy crisis. Solar building technology not only contributes to a reduction in fossil fuel usage but also accelerates the realization of dual-carbon targets, making them suitable for residential building applications.
Critical review articles, original research, and case studies are welcome in this Special Issue, covering relevant up-to-date topics related to the prospects of solar building technology.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, analysis, modelling, optimization, and application of all types of effective and promising solutions to dealing with the global energy crisis.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
