Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The numerous benefits offered by green buildings have led to an increase in their construction. In parallel, various artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging techniques have been recognized as relevant for these types of buildings to rationalize, optimize, and innovate their operation (Rodríguez-Gracia et al., 2023). Technology is the key to successful projects that advance green building. Various green building technologies with temperature reduction, wastewater systems, energy efficiency, photovoltaic-powered cooling systems, etc., can be adopted in green building projects (Patil et al., 2022).
This Special Issue aims to collate new ideas of research into green buildings and the application of emerging techniques and sustainable quality management in the architectural, engineering, construction (AEC), and facilities management industries. Also, this Special Issue aims to provide an advanced forum for studies related to green buildings and emerging techniques.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Green buildings and application of emerging techniques;
- Sustainable quality management;
- Emerging techniques and sustainable quality management in the architectural, engineering, construction (AEC), and facilities management industries;
- Sustainability in architectural, engineering, construction (AEC), and facilities management industries;
- Green construction;
- Green buildings and facilities management.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
