Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The influx of human sensing technologies being used in buildings allows for the collection of real-time and reliable data from numerous occupants. Also, artificial intelligence makes it possible to automatically process and analyze huge amounts of human data. Consequently, such advanced technologies allow us to better understand occupants’ behaviors, perceptions, and physiological characteristics in buildings. This, in turn, strengthens the human-centric operation of building systems and energy conservation programs to improve energy efficiency in conjunction with occupants’ comfort levels. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to share up-to-date knowledge and case studies, focusing on the application of human sensors and artificial intelligence within building system control and energy conservation programs. We welcome research papers contributing to the following topics, including but not limited to:
- Energy efficiency;
- Indoor air quality;
- Visual comfort;
- Thermal comfort;
- Acoustic comfort;
- Mechanical and electrical systems;
- Energy use feedback;
- Prediction of building energy use;
- Occupancy prediction;
- Energy simulation.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
