Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Faced with environmental issues such as global warming, our society requires buildings to be healthy and have low carbon emissions. Besides, when a disaster (frozen weather) or extreme event (e.g., heatwave) happens, buildings should be energy efficient and provide sufficient protection to their occupants and operations. In other words, future buildings, including the communities they are located in, should provide healthy, energy-efficient, and adaptive built environments under different scenarios. The relevant research may involve indoor and outdoor environments, air quality, building energy efficiency, building systems, distributed renewable energy, energy storage, demand response, grid interaction, intelligent building control, etc., emphasizing not only our knowledge and understanding but also practical technologies and intelligent management for buildings.
This Special Issue of Buildings, titled “Healthy, Low-Carbon and Resilient Built Environments”, welcomes high-quality original contributions and high-impact works related to the above-stated topics.
We warmly invite authors to submit their original papers to this Special Issue on “Healthy, Low-Carbon, and Resilient Built Environments”.
