Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the peculiar situation that we currently find ourselves in, both in Europe and around the world, namely the emergence of an energy crisis of proportions that are yet to be determined, it has become relevant to seek technical solutions to mitigate it.
This Topic aims to highlight the importance of recent developments in renewable and conventional energy to mitigate the energy dependence, specifically on natural gas, in the thermal processes of heating industrial, commercial or domestic buildings, including greenhouses for food production, schools or home buildings.
Additionally, space cooling processes, mainly supported by vapor compression solutions, should benefit from recent developments in renewable and conventional energy.
The purpose of the Topic is to explore new approaches, mainly supported by renewable energies, that allow a reduction in energy consumption, namely through the improvement of its use in the different thermal processes of heating or cooling.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
