Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The objective of the Section “Advanced Materials and Systems for Low-Carbon Buildings” is to present cutting-edge research on materials and systems for low-carbon building applications. Due to the increasingly prominent energy and environmental problems, low-carbon development has been deeply rooted in today’s society, and low-carbon building application is an indispensable part of the realization of social low-carbon development. For low-carbon buildings, the research of advanced materials and advanced system concepts and design methods combined with solar energy, which is a renewable energy, is an important research topic. This issue welcomes research contributions including but not limited to the following topics:
- Phase change materials for low-carbon buildings;
- Smart materials for low-carbon buildings;
- Solar full spectrum energy utilization in building;
- Passive/active energy saving by utilizing solar energy;
- Hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar technology;
- Building integrated PV/T system;
- Solar photocatalytic/thermal–catalytic technology in buildings;
- Composite walls for space heating and purification.

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 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 2600 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.
