Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of advanced design and control techniques for grid-interactive buildings has become an imperative element in the construction of energy efficient buildings. Grid-interactive buildings are commonly characterized by their high energy efficiency, integration with renewable energy sources, and ability to interact with the electricity grid. This Special Issue will focus on "Advanced Design and Control Solutions for Grid-Interactive Energy Efficient Buildings" with the aim of exploring state-of-the-art approaches and cutting-edge research on grid-interactive buildings. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Smart building technologies for energy optimization;
- Building-integrated renewable energy;
- Demand response strategies and load management in smart cities;
- Advanced building automation and control systems;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in building control;
- Grid-interactive building modeling and simulation;
- Building-to-grid (B2G) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration;
- Microgrids and distributed energy resource (DER) management;
- Economic and market analysis of grid-interactive energy efficient buildings;
- Model predictive control (MPC) for optimizing the energy consumption and grid interaction of buildings;
- Demand response strategies for responding to real-time grid signals;
- Real-world implementation and case studies of grid-interactive energy efficient buildings.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
