Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electricity, heating, and cooling are becoming increasingly more demanding in buildings as living standards improve but are responsible for massive fossil energy consumption and severe environmental pollution. Building-integrated renewable energy technologies and applications provide an appealing solution for decarbonization in buildings. To further advance renewable energy technologies to save energy in buildings, this Special Issue has been set up to gather cutting-edge research to address current problems and future challenges. The Special Issue will welcome research papers reporting on critical reviews, theoretical investigations, and laboratory and field trials of innovations and developments in renewable energy technologies for low-/zero-carbon building applications. The potential topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Renewables for low-energy buildings;
- Energy-efficient lighting in buildings;
- Space heating/cooling with renewable energy;
- Green building energy materials;
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in low-carbon buildings;
- Renewable energy storage to save energy in buildings.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
