Special Issue on Thermal Energy Storage for Buildings
Journal of Engineering for Sustainable Buildings and Cities
Submit Paper
Building decarbonization is a key element in the combat against climate change, given the significant contribution of buildings to global greenhouse gas emissions. A viable approach to building decarbonization is electrifying building end uses and harnessing renewable energy resources for electricity generation. Thermal energy storage will be essential to accommodate electricity from intermittent renewable energy, reduce operational energy cost, and enhance resilience. This special issue seeks to feature a collection of high-quality articles that contribute to the advancement of knowledge on thermal energy storage through interdisciplinary approaches. The goal is to foster an equitable, smooth transition towards a more sustainable built environment.
