Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue responds to a growing demand for highly efficient ventilation air heat recovery to facilitate decarbonizing buildings. Heat recovery devices can recover 60–95% of ventilation heat loss, which is otherwise exhausted outdoors. Thus, every building that uses energy to condition the air should consider heat recovery.
Sensible (temperature only) or latent (moisture) heat, or both, can be recovered using different types of heat recovery technologies for residential buildings, including single- or multiple-family houses, apartments, dormitories and hotels.
This Special Issue of Buildings will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Advances and review in heat recovery technologies;
- Operation, control strategy and maintenance of heat recovery systems;
- Heat and mass transfer in heat recovery based on numerical, simulation or experimental investigation;
- Optimization of heat recovery;
- Thermal and economic performance of using heat recovery in different climates;
- Case studies on the application of heat recovery;
- Condensation and frost control strategies for heat exchangers;
- Heat and humidity control with heat recovery devices;
- Dehumidification or humidification with heat recovery;
- Leakages and cross-contamination;
- Effect of heat recovery on indoor environmental quality;
- The technical considerations of using heat recovery include pressure drop, flow maldistribution, fouling, corrosion and noise;
- National or international legislation building codes influencing on the use of heat recovery

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.
