Advances in Building Energy Research

Advances in Building Energy Research (ABER) aims to provide expert and authoritative reviews and analyses of the most important developments across the rapidly expanding fields of energy efficiency and environmental performance of buildings. It also provides a unique forum by bringing together invited contributions from the foremost international experts, to examine new technologies and methodologies with the latest research on systems, simulations and standards.

Annually published and peer-reviewed, it will deliver an invaluable resource for architects, building engineers, environmental engineers, industry professionals, students, teachers and researchers in building science.

Topics covered by ABER include:

• invaluable thermal comfort in the built environment
• advanced materials to improve energy efficiency of buildings
• indoor air quality
• energy efficient lighting and daylight
• visual comfort in the built environment
• thermal and air flow studies in the urban environment
• passive solar heating of buildings and passive cooling in buildings
• energy efficient HVAC systems for buildings
• urban energy systems
• design and retrofitting of energy efficient buildings
• use of renewable energies in the built environment
• natural , mechanical and hybrid ventilation
• monitoring and measurement techniques in buildings
• energy rating and classification of buildings
• intelligent control of buildings
• building physics
• environmental impact and sustainability in the building sector
• legislative and educational aspects for energy efficient buildings
