Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to achieve carbon-neutral economies, it is crucial to improve the energy efficiency performance of the built environment, as well as integrated on-site power generation from renewable energy sources. The deployment of innovative materials and technologies is crucial in order to make buildings more energy-efficient, resilient, and adaptable to our ever-changing climate. In addition, optimal design and control strategies, as well as advanced modeling approaches, are needed in order to maximize the energy performance of both new and existing buildings, especially under extreme weather conditions.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the design, retrofit, modelling, control, and energy assessment of building systems.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Optimal design and retrofit strategies of carbon-neutral buildings;
- Innovative materials suitable for energy-efficient buildings;
- Highly efficient systems for heating and cooling buildings;
- Smart and dynamic systems to enhane energy-efficient buildings;
- Modular construction and retrofit techniques of energy-efficient builings;
- Building systems that can integrate on-site power generation from renewable energy sources;
- Advanced modeling and analysis approaches for building energy systems;
- Measurement and monitoring techniques for the energy assessment of buildings;
- Cost–benefit analysis techniques for designing and retrofiting building energy systems.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
