Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building construction and operations are responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse-gas emissions. As the world grapples with the challenge of climate change, it is essential to develop and adopt advanced sustainable low-carbon building materials. Such materials have the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and mitigate the environmental impact of the construction sector.
Advanced sustainable low-carbon building materials are those that are manufactured with minimal carbon emissions, are highly energy efficient, and have a long service life. Examples of such materials include industrial byproducts, recycled concrete, and supplementary cementitious materials. These materials have numerous benefits, including lower greenhouse-gas emissions, improved energy efficiency, reduced waste, and lower costs over their lifetime.
This Special Issue is of great importance for environmentally friendly development in the construction industry, and I strongly look forward to receiving various research papers.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions that you may have about this Special Issue.
