Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the built environment can revolutionize the design, construction, and operation of buildings. With the rise of AI applications in various industries, it is becoming increasingly important to explore how these technologies can be used to create sustainable built environments that are energy-efficient, resource-efficient, and resilient. Climate change has brought an urgency to the need for sustainable built environments. The integration of AI and IoT technologies can play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and achieving a more sustainable future. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore the ways in which AI and IoT can be used to create sustainable built environments that are energy-efficient, resource-efficient, and resilient, and thus make an impact in tackling the global challenge of climate change and promoting social sustainability. Submissions should be focused on the resolution of a range of issues in different phases of a building's lifetime, with outcomes contributing to the sustainability of the built environment.
Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Design phase- AI-based building design optimization: The use of AI in designs for energy efficiency and net zero emissions, indoor environmental quality, building envelopes, and material usage.
- AI applications to improve design collaboration and integration in building information modelling processes and technology.
- AI-based building lifecycle management: The use of AI and machine learning algorithms for building lifecycle management, including retrofitting, renovation, and decommissioning.
- AI-based construction planning and scheduling: The use of AI and machine learning algorithms for construction planning, scheduling, and resource allocation.
- AI-based construction quality control and safety: The use of AI and machine learning algorithms for construction quality control and safety management.
- AI-based construction site monitoring and control: The use of IoT devices, robotics, and AI algorithms for the real-time monitoring and control of construction site operations.
- AI-based building energy management: The use of AI and machine learning algorithms for energy management, demand response, and energy forecasting in buildings.
- AI-based building occupancy and behaviour: The use of AI and machine learning algorithms for understanding and predicting building occupancy and behaviour patterns.
- IoT-enabled building performance monitoring and control: The use of IoT devices and sensors to monitor and control building systems for energy efficiency, lighting, HVAC, and other building functions.
- AI-based building safety and security: The use of AI and machine learning algorithms for fire detection, security surveillance, and emergency responses in buildings.
We welcome the submission of original research articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications that address the areas mentioned above or other relevant topics. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field, and papers addressing other related topics will also be considered.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and contributing to advancing sustainable built environments through integrating AI and IoT technologies.

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.
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.
