Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to contribute to this Special Issue of Buildings entitled “World Renewable Energy Congress 2023 (WREC2023)—Towards Net Zero Buildings”. In recent years, a plethora of new emerging green building technologies are being investigated and adapted worldwide. However, not all technologies are well grasped in terms of its suitability to various climatic conditions. Moreover, with the current rise in global warming and its impact to the overall well-being of the planet, now is the time whereby these technologies, especially passive and low energy architecture are put to efficient use. With the aforesaid aim this Special Issue aims to cover recent trends and the latest research advances in the field of Bioclimatic Architecture, Decarbonizing Cities & Regions, Passive & Low Energy Architecture, Construction & Design, Smart Cities & Smart Grids, Zero Carbon Urban Design, Thermal Comfort, Energy Audit in Building, Building Energy Management, Building Integrated Photovoltaic System (BIPV).
In particular, topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Green Buildings
- Low Carbon Buildings
- Green Materials for Construction
- Smart Energy Cities
- Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ)
- Renewable Energy Technologies
