Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid societal and economic development has led to persistent growth in energy consumption, resulting in severe energy shortages and environmental pollution. The application of heating and cooling systems has garnered significant attention because it provides the necessary energy to maintain indoor environments at comfortable temperatures. The effective application of these methods is crucial for achieving energy savings, reducing carbon emissions, and aligning with environmental sustainability objectives. This issue invites contributions from researchers, experts, and practitioners working on various aspects related to the design, application, simulation, and optimization of heating and cooling systems that prioritize efficiency, environmental friendliness, and long-term sustainability.
This Special Issue is addressed to researchers studying the application and simulation of heating and cooling systems based on model predictive control. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) technologies;
- Power systems;
- Renewable energy integration;
- Energy storage system;
- Heat pumps, district heating, and cooling systems;
- Energy conversion and management.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
