Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zero-energy buildings no longer exist only in theory but have already become familiar. In fact, many countries have enacted policies to actively promote the construction of zero-energy buildings. It is well-known that zero-energy buildings are made feasible by minimizing energy use through the application of energy-efficient passive and active systems while maximizing energy production through renewable energy systems. To make these zero-energy buildings practical and improve their market acceptance, there are many challenges which need to be addressed. Such challenges include securing economic feasibility, providing various system options, and performing continuous maintenance.
To meet the needs of the era of zero-energy buildings, numerous research and development projects are in progress, and various novel systems are emerging that are distinct from traditional systems. The aim of this Special Issue is to exchange relevant ideas and knowledge by introducing novel systems in a variety of areas. To this end, original contributions containing research, case studies, or a comprehensive state-of-the-art review are welcome for possible publication. Relevant topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Thermal insulation materials/systems;
- Air-tightening materials/systems;
- Phase change materials/systems;
- Building structures using thermal inertia;
- Daylighting materials/systems;
- Envelope components/systems;
- Glazing/windows;
- Technical systems, including heating, hot water, cooling, ventilating, and lighting;
- Smart services/systems;
- Building energy management systems;
- Renewable energy systems.
