Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The theme of this issue is to use optimal energy harvesting methodologies to ecologically supply nearly zero-emission buildings at minimal costs.
This Special Issue is scheduled to publish research on ecological building concepts; energy harvesting technologies, such as innovative photovoltaic systems, wind energy, geothermal energy; and bio energy close to realizing a NZEB (nearly zero-emission building).
Additional topics that can be explored include assessment methodologies for ecological design criteria and optimal application methods of element technologies for zero-emission building, such as radiant cooling systems and optimal ventilation systems, bifacial solar-cell module applications, which can utilize maximal solar irradiance, and bio-algae-powered buildings, etc.
We hope that this issue can optimize energy harvesting and innovative concepts, while optimally minimizing the cooling and heating load, creating a comfortable space to internationally proliferate nearly zero emissions in buildings at a minimum cost. General element technologies should be evaluated to create a nearly zero-emission building.
This Special Issue, “Noble concepts for net-zero-emission buildings”, aims to present scientific contributions focused on related topics, including:
- Ecological NZEB concepts;
- Noble photovoltaic system for NZEB;
- Innovative heating and cooling systems;
- Ecological design criteria for NZEB;
- Passive solar concepts for NZEB;
- Solar irradiance modeling for a building facade;
- Life cycle and ecological analysis to increase the sustainability of a solar system;
- Wind energy use for NZEB;
- Geothermal energy use methodologies for NZEB;
- Micro-algae-powered buildings;
- Any potential methodologies to realize NZEB.

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. Processes 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 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.
