What is the contribution of innovative technologies in the epochal transition to low environmental impact buildings? This is the question addressed in this Special Issue, in order to offer a wide and heterogeneous amount of data to readers, along with results of high scientific impact concerning the application of innovative technologies in construction. The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change following the COP 21 Conference on Climate Change, organized by United Nations, required the States to reduce carbon emissions in the building stock. In the European Union, almost 50% of final energy consumption is used for heating and cooling; out of this huge amount, 80% is used in buildings. It makes sense, then, that the Union?s goals are inherently linked to the real effort to renovate the building stock. To do this, in the EU and worldwide, the priority is to enhance energy efficiency, by deploying low-cost renewable energies and innovative technologies, especially those derived from recent achievements in the field of nanomaterials research, with special reference to building integration of novel technologies, spanning from chromogenics to semitransparent photovoltaics, super-insulating materials, and phase change materials. Articles here proposed deal with every construction or plant component of the building organism, taking advantage of novel technologies to improve their performance, from the envelope to structures, HVAC, and other technical systems, as well as indoor climate analyses in buildings and indoor environmental quality (IEQ), as well as visual comfort indoors. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $awindow frame 610 $agranular aerogel 610 $aenergy saving 610 $aIEQ 610 $abioaerosols 610 $aairborne bacteria 610 $aairborne fungi 610 $aozone 610 $aportable air purifier 610 $aozone generation 610 $abiomimetics 610 $abuilding skin 610 $amultifunctionality 610 $aarchitectural design 610 $abuilding envelope 610 $aadaptability 610 $adesign framework 610 $abuilding performance simulation 610 $arenewable energy 610 $aperovskite solar cells 610 $aBIPV 610 $asemi-transparent 610 $achallenges 610 $aindoor air quality (IAQ) 610 $aCO2 production rate 610 $aCO2 concentration 610 $aoccupancy estimation 610 $ademand controlled ventilation (DCV) 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aCu-Zn-Al 610 $ashape memory 610 $aSMA 610 $aseismic 610 $aausforming 610 $atransformation temperatures 610 $asuper elasticity 610 $amicrostructure 610 $aventilated facade 610 $asecond-skin materials 610 $a3D printed materials 610 $aadditive manufacturing 610 $aTRNSYS 610 $afull-scale facility 610 $aretrofit action 610 $adeep reinforcement learning 610 $aoptimal control 610 $aoptimization 610 $aHYBUILD 610 $athermal energy storage 610 $aresidential buildings 610 $anoise pollution 610 $aenvironmental factors 610 $aproperty prices 610 $agenetic algorithm 610 $aresidential market 610 $aphase change materials 610 $ahybrid ventilated school building 610 $aindoor thermal comfort 610 $athermal management 610 $aenergy conservation 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aCannavale$b Alessandro$4edt$01323408 702 $aMartellotta$b Francesco$4edt 702 $aFiorito$b Francesco$4edt 702 $aCannavale$b Alessandro$4oth 702 $aMartellotta$b Francesco$4oth 702 $aFiorito$b Francesco$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557365003321 996 $aNovel Technologies to Enhance Energy Performance and Indoor Environmental Quality of Buildings$93035516 997 $aUNINA
