Aims & Scope
Sustainable and Clean Buildings is an international, open access journal dedicated to the publication of research articles and review papers focused on building science, emphasizing the utilization of clean energy, efficiency, and sustainability. The primary objective of this journal is to showcase innovative and sustainable research findings and methodologies aimed at reducing energy demands while enhancing thermal comfort standards in buildings. Sustainable and Clean Buildings aims to spotlight scientific articles that significantly advance the science behind low/zero carbon buildings. Articles with high novelty, scientific rigor, innovative approaches, and validated experimental practices are the forefront of our interest. Additionally, we welcome advanced theoretical and simulation approaches provided the results are rigorously verified through reliable and standarlized experimental methodologies.
