Energy and Built Environment

Energy and Built Environment is an academic journal dedicated to research on built environments and associated energy technologies.

The built environment covered in this journal includes those across diverse spatial scales, encompassing the city-scale down to the building-scale, as well as other built environments such as those related to transportation hubs and industrial facilities.

The aim is to publish qualified articles related to the performance of built environments, environment control technologies and strategies, and energy materials and technologies that are currently implemented or have the potential for future applications in built environments.

Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, the following themes:

·Energy engineering, especially sustainable energy utilization and integrated energy systems which are applied or can be potentially applied in built environment in the future

-Clean/renewable energy technologies
