About this Research Topic
The primary objective of this research topic is to concentrate on the modelling of energy consumption in buildings, along with other pertinent research endeavours that contribute to the development of a more ecologically viable built environment.
The main themes for consideration include (but not limited to):
• Building energy optimisation applications
• Building performance approaches and applications by focusing on energy consumption
• Building energy management systems
• Applications of decision-making (e.g. multiple criteria decision-making methods) for building energy optimisation
• Occupant behaviour modelling and simulation
• Energy-efficiency improvements in buildings through retrofits and renovations
• Building system anomaly detection
• Computational approaches for modelling building system faults
• Fault detection and diagnosis methods in building systems by focusing on energy consumption
Keywords: energy in buildings; green buildings; energy management; sustainability; construction management; multiple criteria decision-making
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
