One of the most important trends seeks to minimize the energy demand. This can be achieved by promoting the construction of buildings with better thermal insulating capabilities of their envelopes and better efficiency in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Any credible assessment of building energy performance includes the identification and simulation of heat and mass transfer phenomena in both the building envelope and the interior of the building. As the interaction between design elements, climate change, user behavior, heating effectiveness, ventilation, air conditioning systems, and lighting is not straightforward, the assessment procedure can present a complex and challenging task. The simulations should then involve all factors affecting the energy performance of the building in questions. However, the appropriate choice of physical model of heat and mass transfer for different building elements is not the only factor affecting the output of building energy simulations. The accuracy of the material parameters applied in the models as input data is another potential source of uncertainty. For instance, neglecting the dependence of hygric and thermal parameters on moisture content may affect the energy assessment in a significant way. Boundary conditions in the form of weather data sets represent yet another crucial factor determining the uncertainty of the outputs. In light of recent trends in climate change, this topic is vitally important. This Special Issue aims at providing recent developments in laboratory analyses, computational modeling, and in situ measurements related to the assessment of building energy performance based on the proper identification of heat and mass transfer processes in building structures. 610 $aCFD 610 $athermal performance 610 $aMetamodeling 610 $acarbon black 610 $aenergy balance 610 $aXRD 610 $aair terminal device 610 $aHygrothermal assessment 610 $athermal energy storage 610 $afibrous aerogel 610 $aProbabilistic assessment 610 $anatural ventilation 610 $athermal properties 610 $aDSC 610 $aadvanced personalized ventilation 610 $atemperature 610 $anoise level 610 $ageopolymers 610 $aelevation 610 $aplaster 610 $arelative humidity 610 $aair velocity 610 $aground-granulated blast-furnace slag 610 $aheat treatment 610 $aturbulence 610 $aphase change temperature 610 $aenergy saving 610 $amechanical properties 610 $abuilding envelope 610 $aSEM 610 $aTime series modelling 610 $aself-heating 610 $amass flow rate prediction 610 $athermal conductivity 610 $aConvolutional neural networks 610 $asingle-sided 610 $acorrelation function 700 $aKo?í$b Václav$4auth$01323464 702 $aLakatos$b Ákos$4auth 702 $a?erný$b Robert$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367740203321 996 $aHeat and Mass Transfer in Building Energy Performance Assessment$93035583 997 $aUNINA
