📢 CALL FOR PAPERS: #ArtificialIntelligence for #Energy Management in #Buildings and #Cities 🏦 🏗️ 🌏
We have extended the submission deadline for contributions to this special collection to be published in Data-Centric Engineering (an open-access journal at Cambridge University Press & Assessment) in 2025.
Buildings account for 40% of the global energy consumption and 30% of the associated greenhouse gas emissions, while also offering a 50–90% CO2 mitigation potential. #Decarbonization strategies will require faster, tighter and more widely coordinated control of energy resources in buildings and cities at multiple spatiotemporal scales: from milliseconds and single components to decades and across geographic regions. The complexity of this problem necessitates automated processes to situational awareness and decision making. This special collection calls for contributions that explore the application of data-driven methods to improve the resiliency and efficiency of the building environment as #engineering system, especially the energy systems.
📆 Submit by 31 January 2025
