Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable buildings are designed to help to reduce the overall impact on the environment and human health along their lifecycle. This is accomplished by preserving and protecting the natural resources that surround the project site, reducing waste, pollution, and degradation of the environment when the building in under construction, using energy, water, and other resources in an efficient way, and protecting the health of residents. In particular, as one of the most important challenges to improving sustainability and to tackling climate change at global level is the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, and given the important role that the building sector will have to play in any low-carbon transformation, this Special Issue aims to attract works of scientific interest to deepen our understanding of these fields with different approaches. Therefore, research activities on different strategies for optimal planning of sustainable buildings are welcome, and a multidisciplinary approach is foreseen in order to address this issue from the viewpoints of decision makers, public bodies, business, cities, universities, and citizens.
The following list, while far from being exhaustive, provides an illustrative set of topics:

Planning and design of sustainable building;
Sustainable building materials;
Building and living environment;
Bio and healthy building research;
Energy use and climate;
Life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC);
Sustainable urban development.

And paper types suitable for this Special Issue include:

Methodological papers;
Conceptual papers;
Case studies;
Systematic literature reviews.
