Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the Special Issue “Open Data and Energy Analytics”, also published as an e-book, we invite you to contribute to this second Special Issue focussed on Open Data and Models for Energy and Environment.
Cutting-edge solutions provided by Research and Development funded by the European and International Framework are of interest for this editorial initiative.
Energy engineers and planners must provide the simplest and most robust tools to collect, process, and analyse data in order to offer solid data-based evidence for future projections in building, district and regional system planning.
This Special Issue aims at providing recent advancements on open data and models. Energy and Environment are the fields of applications.
For all the aforementioned reasons, we encourage researchers and professionals to share their original works. Topics of primary interest include but are not limited to:
- Open data and models for energy sustainability;
- Open data science and environment applications;
- Open science and open governance for Sustainable Development Goals;
- Key performance indicators of data-aware energy modelling, planning and policy;
- Energy, water and sustainability database for building, district and regional systems;
- Best practices and case studies.
