Abstract: As part of the RILEM SMSS 2019 conference, the Energy Efficient Building Design and Legislation segment was organized as a separate international segment with the aim to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, research scholars and industry professionals involved in building physics and sustainable construction, giving them the opportunity to exchange and discuss current ideas and knowledge in both the background science and practical applications of advanced materials, systems and methods for design of energy-high performing, healthy and sustainable buildings; as well as current legal framework and policy instruments.
All papers submitted for this segment were subjected to a full review process, and the Proceedings contain only those papers that were accepted following this process. The review of manuscripts was undertaken by members of International Scientific Committee. This invaluable assistance, which has greatly enhanced the quality of the Proceedings, is gratefully acknowledged. The spectrum of relevant research topics covered encompasses enhancement of energy performance and indoor comfort in buildings; heat transfer problems; legislation framework and policies for energy efficiency in buildings; Building Information Modelling (BIM) for energy modelling applications; hygrothermal performance of building materials and elements; innovative building envelope systems; materials and systems for energy retrofitting; and sustainability through recycling.
Finally, the Editors wish to thank the authors for their efforts to produce and deliver papers of high standard. We are certain that these Proceedings will be a valued reference of research topics in this important field and that it will, together with the other volumes from SMSS conference, form a suitable base for discussion and suggestions for future development and research.
