In consequence, the correct design and execution of buildings, use of new materials that reduce energy demand, and efficient use of renewable energy are all necessary to reduce the impacts that occur during their life-cycle. This book shows some examples, focused on improving the energy-efficiency of buildings, in accordance with circular economy policies and life-cycle phases, including design, construction and use. The editor wishes to thank all the authors for contributing to this book, as well as to the assistance of MDPI’s editorial office.Technology: general issuesbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicsscclimate-orientedbuildingsbuilding constructionclimate zonesclimate changebibliometricclimate zonebuildingenergy demandbuilding resilienceair qualityair pollutionSUNSPACEPM removalazure chemistrycircular economysustainabilitySDG 11SDG 12buying intentionenergy-efficient home appliancesgreen self-identitytheory of planned behaviorwaste glasslight reflectancebuilding material coatingssoda-lime-silica glasslead-silica glasscool surfacecool materialcool roofurban heat islandTechnology: general issuesHistory of engineering & technologyZamorano Montserratedt1311307Zamorano MontserratothBOOK9910595070303321Recent Advances in Energy Efficiency of Buildings3030224UNINA
