Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Under the background of global climate change and sustainable development, the concept of low carbon has become an important focus in the field of civil engineering research and engineering practice. Buildings based on this low-carbon concept could greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote resource conservation and recycling, and improve energy efficiency, thus making substantial contributions to adapting to and slowing down climate change.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote the communication between academia, industry, and policy makers; share research results; explore future development directions; and jointly contribute to the realization of green and sustainable engineering construction. Summary articles and original papers on the realization of this low-carbon concept in buildings are welcome. This call for papers covers but is not limited to the following topics:
- R&D and applications of low-carbon building materials;
- New methods for the design of buildings based on low-carbon concept;
- Novel construction technology based on low-carbon concept;
- New building operation technology based on low-carbon concept;
- Carbon footprint analysis of the whole life cycle (or any stage) of buildings;
- Green buildings and healthy buildings;
- Sustainability evaluation or decision-making methods in civil engineering;
- Application of intelligent equipment or deep learning in the monitoring of buildings’ carbon emissions;
- Low-carbon engineering education and career development.

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.
