  • Journal of Building Engineering

    • ISSN: 2352-7102
    The Journal of Building Engineering (JOBE) is an interdisciplinary journal that covers all aspects of science and technology concerned with the whole life cycle of buildings. from the design phase through to construction, operation, performance, maintenance and its deterioration. JOBE only publishes papers that clearly demonstrate significant scientific novelty in building engineering.The journal will cover, but is not limited to, the following three Themes and related topics:Building Energy and Environment Building simulation, data-driven modelling for energy demand Energy-efficient building and system design (new and retrofitting)Buildin... indoor environmental quality (acoustic, visual, thermal, moisture, air quality)Fire prediction and evacuation in a buildingHVAC system intelligent operation and controlPeople-orient... building design and system operation for wellbeing and workplace productivityRenewabl... energy technologies and their applications in buildingsBuilding StructureDesign, testing and health monitoring for building structure and componentsExperiment... and numerical assessment of components (new and existing buildings)Effects of hazards on building structures (seismic, wind, gravity, blast, load, fire, etc.)Innovative building structural components and systemsPhysics and data-driven methods for building structural analysis and assessmentStructural damage and failure mechanisms and building performance under extreme loads and hazardsStructural retrofit, strengthening, and rehabilitation of existing buildings and their componentsBuilding MaterialsBuilding coatings and claddingsSustainable materials for buildingsBuilding materials for rehabilitation and strengtheningBuildin... material durability and maintenanceBuilding facade/envelope materialsInnovative/... /smart materials in building engineeringTechnical notes, codes and standards are also welcome. Manuscripts about materials, structures, energy and other applications to non-building infrastructure (roads, bridges, tunnels, transportation, agriculture greenhouses, etc.) are unfortunately outside the scope of this journal. Manuscripts about urban environment, renewable energy and their technologies development, power plant, construction/project management, and construction site safety are unfortunately outside the scope of this journal. Please do not resubmit a rejected manuscript (unless the Editors have invited you to resubmit) as it will not be considered and will be rejected without review.Please do not contact the Editors for a status check of your manuscript as they handle a large number of submissions and unfortunately cannot answer all status requests. Please use the Track your submission option for this purpose. If your paper has been sent out for review, the Editors have to wait for the invited reviewers to agree to review the paper. Once the reviewers have kindly agreed to review the paper, they are requested to deliver their reviews within 21 days; delays do occur, unfortunately, and this is not always possible. The Editors are aware of delayed manuscripts, and reminders are sent to the reviewers of delayed papers to ask them to please upload their reviews at their earliest convenience. Once the Editors receive the required number of reviews, they are then able to swiftly make their decision on a manuscript.Authors can rest assured that Editors are using all their resources to make the revision and publication process as swift as possible.Author duties: Acceptance of a manuscript for publication in the journal carries with it an understanding that the author, when requested, will fulfil an obligation to contribute their expertise to the review of others' manuscripts.
