Special Issue Information

As urban populations continue to grow and the global demand for energy rises, cities are facing increasing pressure to balance development with environmental sustainability. The building sector, which accounts for a significant portion of global energy consumption and carbon emissions, plays a crucial role in mitigating the environmental impact of urbanization. In response, energy-efficient and green building strategies have emerged as essential solutions for reducing resource consumption, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing environmental quality. These strategies are crucial in meeting ambitious climate goals, while also fostering healthier, more livable urban spaces.

This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest research, innovations, and challenges in the implementation of green building strategies within urban environments, examining their role in shaping future cities that are both sustainable and resilient.

Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but will not be limited to:
● Sustainable architectural design principles for energy efficiency 
● Advances in building materials for energy conservation
● Integration of renewable energy systems in urban buildings
● Climate-responsive design and passive building techniques
● Urban planning strategies that promote green buildings and energy efficiency
● Smart building technologies
● Energy-efficient building retrofits
● Policy frameworks for green building
