About This Topic
Buildings play a pivotal role in the global transition toward a low-carbon future, as they account for a significant share of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, energy-efficient building technologies have emerged as a critical research field, offering innovative solutions to reduce environmental impacts while enhancing occupant comfort and economic performance. This special issue seeks to bring together cutting-edge research, practical applications, and theoretical advances that address the urgent need for more sustainable and resilient buildings. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced building materials with improved thermal and environmental performance;
- Smart systems for monitoring, automation, and energy management;
- Renewable energy integration in building design;
- Passive and hybrid strategies for heating, cooling, and lighting;
- Digital tools such as building information modeling (BIM) and digital twins for performance optimization;
- Life cycle assessment and circular approaches for construction.
By gathering recent advances in these areas, the Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of innovative pathways that support the decarbonization of the building sector. Contributions are expected to highlight not only technological progress but also the socio-economic implications of energy-efficient building solutions.
