About This Topic
The scope of the special issue “Sustainable Building Materials and Technologies for Energy-Efficiency in Building” is aimed to address the recent progress and trends in the field of building materials and manufacturing technology with reference to energy efficiency and sustainability. Sustainable building materials minimizes the consumption of non-renewable resources and help in maintaining the ecosystem balance and in return proves to be economical, not just during construction but also year after year. Integrating sustainable and energy efficient building materials into building projects can help reduce the environmental impacts associated with the extraction, transportation, processing, fabrication, installation, reuse, recycling, and disposal of these building industry source materials. Implementing waste or renewable resources in the design of new building materials can also provide new useful features in a context of energy efficiency of structures including, acoustic and thermal comfort, lightness, durability. In addition to the design of new sustainable materials, this special issue also deals with the integration of cleaner manufacturing technologies including additive manufacturing and automated fabrication. These new fabrication technologies with improved productivity and reduced environmental impact can therefore be combined with greener construction materials to maximize the sustainability of the construction sector.
