Advancing Sustainable and Cost-Effective Practices in Building Design and Construction

This Special Issue brings together recent research addressing sustainable and cost-effective practices in building design and construction, with a focus on reducing environmental impact and improving resource efficiency. The contributions explore a wide range of topics, including energy-efficient buildings, low-carbon materials, life cycle cost analysis, and the integration of innovative technologies in the construction sector. Special attention is given to the role of policy frameworks and funding mechanisms in supporting the transition toward climate-neutral buildings, as well as to the challenges specific to different geographical and socio-economic contexts.

By combining theoretical approaches, case studies, and applied research, this Special Issue provides valuable insights for researchers, engineers, architects, and policymakers involved in advancing sustainable construction. It highlights practical solutions and emerging trends that contribute to the development of resilient, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible built environments.
