Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On a global scale, buildings are considered major energy consumers, contributing immensely to greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the world is taking serious steps towards sustainability. To mitigate global warming risks, implementing efficient measures in buildings has become essential. Such measures can be applied to the building process and the mechanical and electrical systems involved. In addition, renewable energy systems can be integrated to buildings as a potential sustainable measure. Solar energy has been found to be effective for space and water heating. Additionally, photovoltaics can contribute to meeting the residential electrical load of buildings. This Special Issue is oriented towards such potential energy-saving measures. It focuses on energy savings and the environmental and economic impact of different measures. This is a core focus of sustainability to ensure a better future for generations to come.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Energy-saving measures in different building systems and processes.
- Economic potential of energy-saving parameters in different buildings.
- Environmental impact of energy-efficient parameters in different buildings.
- Integration of renewable energy to sustainable buildings.
- Energy storage systems in building applications.
- Smart grids and advanced metering techniques.
- Load management strategies for a resilient grid.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
