The design of highly efficient low-energy buildings is often a challenging task, especially in the mediterranean area, where the balanced requirement for heating and cooling energy does not usually permit a high level of envelope insulation in order to avoid summer overheating. This topical Special Issue of Energies is dedicated to "High Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area: Challenges and Perspectives" and collects studies related to the assessment and evaluation of systems and technologies for building energy management and control in the Mediterranean climate, with the aim of optimizing the building-plant system and reducing energy use. This collection of papers presents the latest research results related to the topic; these articles offer valuable insights into the energy simulation of highly efficient buildings, propose innovative envelope solutions, such as green roofs, Trombe walls, and PCM, and investigate the use of renewable sources such as photovoltaic systems. The topics also include the innovative use and control of Venetian blinds and fixed solar shades in order to reduce energy consumption and preserve visual comfort, as well as an interesting economic analysis based on the cost-optimal approach. 517 $aHigh Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aBEopt 610 $abioclimatic strategy 610 $abuilding design 610 $abuilding energy performance 610 $abuilding energy simulations 610 $acost-optimal analysis 610 $adynamic model 610 $aeconomic projections 610 $aemission reduction 610 $aenergetic retrofit 610 $aenergy demand 610 $aenergy efficiency policy 610 $aenergy performance of buildings 610 $aenergy saving 610 $aenergy savings 610 $aenergy storage 610 $aenergy storage units 610 $aenergy transactions 610 $aEnergyPlus 610 $aexperimental analysis 610 $ageothermal energy system 610 $agreen roof 610 $alife cycle cost assessment 610 $ameasurements 610 $amonitoring 610 $amulti-objective optimization 610 $anearly zero energy building 610 $anet present value 610 $anZEB 610 $apayback period 610 $aPCM thermal storage 610 $aphase change materials 610 $aphotovoltaics 610 $aPositive Energy Building 610 $aprefabricated buildings 610 $aPV systems configurations 610 $arenewable energy sources 610 $aresidential building 610 $ashading systems 610 $asmart solar shading 610 $asolar gains 610 $aSUPRIM 610 $athermal behavior 610 $athermal behaviour 610 $athermal dynamic simulation 610 $atraditional constructive technology 610 $atrombe wall 610 $atypical weather year 610 $avenetian blinds 610 $avisual comfort 610 $aweather data 610 $awine vinification 615 7$aResearch and information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aArcuri$b Natale$4edt$01294100 702 $aBruno$b Roberto$4edt 702 $aBevilacqua$b Piero$4edt 702 $aArcuri$b Natale$4oth 702 $aBruno$b Roberto$4oth 702 $aBevilacqua$b Piero$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557304703321 996 $aHigh Efficient Buildings in Mediterranean Area$93022872 997 $aUNINA
