Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources and the building and transport electrification are major pathways towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The link between them is the smart power grid. The advances in related technologies are significant enough to allow for policies to be put in place. However, the challenges related to zero-energy buildings to the grid are also significant. Proactive energy management, optimization of nano- or microgrids at building or neighborhood level, charging and discharging of electric vehicles, green hydrogen technologies at building scale, thermal and electrical storage co-optimization, optical and thermal comfort, demand side management and services to the grid, demand response mechanisms and flexibility management, prosumers and market operations, power grid operation and sustainability in the new paradigm, as well as modern user comfort standards delineate a vivid research field which involves, among others, complex tradeoffs between risk tolerance and the capital investment payback period. All topics may be examined from the viewpoint of the building/EV user, the building/neighborhood, or the main grid, not necessarily converging to the same optimal solution or design. This Special Issue aspires to contribute to this important and timely interdisciplinary research area.
Therefore, you are invited to submit your recent research results and review papers to this Special Issue on “Smart Grid Integration of Zero Energy Buildings: Challenges and Perspectives”, to be published in MDPI Energies.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
