  • Building and Environment

    • ISSN: 0360-1323
    The International Journal of Building Science and its ApplicationsAimsBuil... and Environment is international journal that publishes original research papers, comprehensive review articles, editorials, and short communications related to building science, urban physics, and human interaction with the indoor and outdoor built environment.The Journal is focused on innovative, cutting edge technologies and knowledge, rigorously verified with measurement and analysis. The Journal publishes articles related to the environmental performance of the built environment in a wide range of spatial scales, ranging from cities, communities, buildings, to building systems and assemblies as well as other built environments such as those related to transportation and industrial settings. We encourage submission of collaborative, multi-disciplinary research results with broader significance.ScopeTo... covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, the following themes:• Technologies, especially smart technologies and integrated systems for high performance buildings and cities:- Advanced building envelopes - Advanced building control technologies and principles - Artificial intelligence as applied to buildings or building systems - Automation in the built environment using brain-computer interfaces - Data management and digital twins for automation in the built environment - Smart space conditioning systems that are responsive to comfort - Sustainable, hybrid, and smart heating and air conditioning technologies• Thermal comfort, ventilation, acoustic and visual performance in buildings and their impacts on human beings:- Building acoustics and lighting - Building ventilation, including occupant-centered ventilation for improving microclimates - Health, productivity, and well-being related to the built environment - Human thermoregulation mechanisms and their interactions with the indoor and outdoor environments - Thermal comfort indoors, outdoors and in transition spaces - Monitoring and assessing the impact of indoor and urban pollution on people• Air quality and airborne infection control in building science and engineering- Airborne pollutants (including physical, chemical, and microbiological) formation, transport, and measurement in buildings - Self-decontaminating materials for occupant protection in health care and other high health risk-built environments - Innovative indoor air cleaning and decontamination technologies - Indoor environments in buildings and transportation vehicles - Indoor pollutant sources and control strategies for contaminant removal - Airborne infectious disease control of the built environment - Personalized technologies for prevention of indoor cross-contamination• Advanced tools for the design and decision-making communities, including tested computational, economic, educational and policy tools:- Building performance and advanced simulation tools - Modeling and simulation of building stocks at different scales - Policy studies related to buildings and the environment - Thermal analysis of buildings - Urban physics measurement and modeling• Solutions for mitigating environmental impacts and achieving low carbon, resilient, and sustainable built environments:- Building resilience (not including structures, seismic performance, flooding, fire, etc.) related to current and/or future climates - Carbon capture and sustainable systems - Circular building systems and technologies - Decarbonization technologies for building systems and communities - Global warming as related to building and urban environments - Green buildings and sustainable systems and their impacts on the urban environment - Life cycle assessment of building environmental impacts - Climate-neutral buildings and communities - Sustainable and innovative solutions and measures for mitigation of the urban heat island

  • Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics

    • ISSN: 0167-6105
    The Journal of the International Association for Wind EngineeringThe objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/... These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects.Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.Author duties: Submission 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.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

  • Structures

    • ISSN: 2352-0124
    Research Journal of The Institution of Structural Engineers .AimsStructures aims to publish internationally-lead... research across the full breadth of structural engineering. Papers for Structures are particularly welcome in which high-quality research will benefit from wide readership of academics and practitioners such that not only high citation rates but also tangible industrial-related pathways to impact are achieved.ScopeStruct... seeks papers in the following areas relating to the built environment: structural engineering, structural materials, structural mechanics, behaviour and design of structures, new construction methods, structural innovation and optimisation, response of structures to extreme events, sustainability, performance-based design and other related areas.The journal’s primary focus is structural engineering and related disciplines. Papers on subject matter regarded as civil engineering infrastructure, such as pipelines, roads and railways, tunnelling or dams will not be considered. Nor will papers applying structural analysis techniques to objects unrelated to the built environment (such as aircraft design, naval architecture or medical implants).What we encourage and what to avoid?The Editors of Structures would like to encourage the submission of papers that make a significant contribution to structural engineering knowledge, developing new techniques, presenting new applications of existing methods, or offering some other form of new insight.The following types of paper will not be considered:Papers where an analytical method is developed but not validated, or where no new insight is offered into the behaviour being studied. (NB Validation need not necessarily be by means of a laboratory experiment.)Papers where an existing numerical method is applied to a slightly different type of the same problem, but no real new insight into the science is presented.Papers where standard methods, such as finite element analysis or AI, are used to match some experimental data, but no real new insight into the science is presented.Paper with a very narrow focus where research has been ‘salami sliced’ to allow multiple submissions. Instead, authors are encouraged to present a broader analysis of the subject being studied.Papers purely presenting experimental data should ensure that the findings are new, well reported, and based on well-conducted experiments.
