Call for Papers

Modelling, Control, and Resilience for Sustainable Buildings and Communities

Journal: Advances in Building Energy Research
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Group
Manuscript Submission Deadline: 31 May 2027

Advances in Building Energy Research invites high-quality submissions for its Special Issue on Modelling, Control, and Resilience for Sustainable Buildings and Communities.

About the Special Issue

Buildings and communities are rapidly transforming through grid integration, decarbonization, and the evolution of smart energy systems. Addressing these challenges requires advanced modelling, simulation, intelligent control, and experimental validation to improve building performance while enhancing energy efficiency, occupant well-being, resilience, and sustainability.

This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to present innovative methodologies, emerging technologies, and real-world applications that advance the design, operation, and management of sustainable and resilient buildings and communities. While the issue is organized in conjunction with the eSim 2026 Conference and will feature expanded versions of selected conference papers, submissions are open to all researchers working within the scope of the Special Issue.

Topics of Interest

Submissions may include, but are not limited to:

• Building performance modelling, simulation, digital twins, and uncertainty analysis

• Data-driven modelling using Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Large Language Models, Reinforcement Learning, and hybrid physics-informed approaches

• Advanced building control including Model Predictive Control (MPC), intelligent supervisory control, occupant-centric control, demand response, and grid-interactive efficient buildings

• Climate resilience, building adaptation, resilient retrofit strategies, and extreme weather response

• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for indoor and outdoor airflow, ventilation, façade performance, and urban environmental analysis

• Building decarbonization through renewable energy integration, PV/PV-T/BIPV systems, heat pumps, thermal energy storage, electrification, and low-carbon technologies

• Experimental validation, living laboratories, pilot projects, operational performance assessment, and real-world case studies

• Sustainable building design, passive design strategies, building envelope innovations, and retrofit methodologies
