Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Expanding renewable energy use is broadening the possibilities for sustainable building design. Furthermore, advanced AI technologies are offering new pathways to create energy-efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible buildings. Buildings account for a substantial portion of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Optimizing renewable energy use and improving building operations through AI can serve as a key solution for global climate change response. Research on integrating AI and renewable energy for sustainable building design is expected to maximize energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, support ESG goal achievement in industry, and contribute to realizing a Net Zero society.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to explore the recent challenges and advancements in integrating AI and renewable energy technologies for sustainable building design. We welcome original research, case studies, and comprehensive review papers that align with this aim. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- AI-driven building design;
- Renewable energy integration;
- Predictive analytics for building energy efficiency;
- Intelligent energy management systems;
- Energy storage solutions for buildings;
- Virtual power plants for sustainable buildings;
- Smart grid and building synergy;
- Net Zero and green energy building design;
- Low-carbon and ESG industries with green buildings;
- Sustainable security and business strategies.
