Building Simulation: An International Journal publishes original, high quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles dealing with modeling and simulation of buildings including their systems. The goal is to promote the field of building science and technology to such a level that modeling will eventually be used in every aspect of building construction as a routine instead of an exception. Of particular interest are papers that reflect recent developments and applications of modeling tools and their impact on advances of building science and technology.
Paper submission is solicited for the following five fixed sections:
A: Building thermal, lighting, and acoustics modeling
B: Building systems and components
C: Indoor/outdoor airflow and air quality
D: Architecture and human behavior
E: Advances in modeling and simulation tools
The above scope will develop as the field of building simulation evolves. Authors are encouraged to contribute papers from different angles of interest, making Building Simulation: An International Journal a dynamic channel and valuable resource for new scientific findings and engineering applications.
- Presents papers covering the modeling and simulation of buildings, including systems, environment and human occupancy
- Reports on current development and application of modeling tools, and their applications to building science and technology
- Covers building, environmental and human behavioral sciences from a multidisciplinary, international perspective

Building Simulation: An International Journal solicits papers for a topical issue on Fire Safety of complex buildings (tall buildings, tunnels, subways, etc.)
Urbanization has accelerated in the last few decades. To relieve the increasing pressure on the traffic congestion and inefficient use of space, more and more complex structures are built, such as high-rise buildings, city underground tunnels and subways, etc. Wide attention has been paid to the fire safety of these complex buildings owing to the occurrences of many disastrous fire accidents reported all over the world.

Building Simulation: An International Journal solicits papers for a topical issue on Thermal Environment for Special Space and/or Special Population
Thermal environment is one of the most important indoor factors that affect thermal comfort, work performance, well-being and sleep quality of occupants. Over the last 30 years research on thermal comfort has undergone a dramatic intensification of activity. Many standards have been updated to design the thermal environment that could meet the requirements of thermal comfort.
