Energy Systems in Buildings and Occupant Comfort

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of energy systems in buildings to promote occupant comfort with low energy consumption levels is an important multidisciplinary topic for the future development of more sustainable occupied spaces. The objective of this new multidisciplinary topic is to collect innovative research studies on energy systems for buildings and examine their impact on occupants’ comfort. Innovative experimental studies, numerical simulations, and state-of-the-art and other original research findings are invited. For this multidisciplinary topic, we are particularly interested in inviting papers focusing on, but not limited to, the following: (i) energy systems in buildings; (ii) sustainable and renewable energy applications; (iii) HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning) systems in occupied spaces; (iv) natural and mechanical ventilation systems; (v) occupant thermal comfort, local thermal discomfort and indoor air quality; (vi) passive and active strategies in buildings; (vii) energy efficiency in buildings; (viii) design and construction strategies for buildings. Studies of advances in numerical simulation and experimental techniques are also welcome.
