Journal: Energy and Buildings

Energy and Buildings is an international journal which presents the results of research activities conducted by the building science community concerned with energy use, quality of the indoor environment and climatology. Its scope covers all topics that can improve the energy efficiency in the built environment, such as:

- Energy consumption in existing and future buildings;

- Impact of architectural design on energy demand and efficiency;

- Thermal properties of the building envelope and materials;

- Natural and artificial lighting;

- Solar energy and building design;

- Computer simulation of thermal interactions in the built environment;

- Development of passively climate-conditioned buildings;

- Innovative environmental control systems and concepts;

- Building diagnostic technologies;

- Reapplication of traditional architectural vernaculars;

- Cost/benefit analyses of new energy-efficient options for buildings;

- Climate, microclimates and their relation to urban building design;

- Modification of energy consumption patterns in urban environments;

- Cultural and social influences on energy consumption behaviour;

- Thermal comfort;

- Technologies and programs to reduce energy consumption in buildings.

Audience: Architects, Mechanical Engineers, Civil Engineers, Lighting Engineers, Energy Researchers, Energy Policy Makers, Building Industry, Applied Climatologists.
