Energy and Built Environment is an academic journal dedicated to research on built environments and associated energy technologies.
The built environment covered in this journal includes those across diverse spatial scales, encompassing the city-scale down to the building-scale, as well as other built environments such as those related to transportation hubs and industrial facilities.
The aim is to publish qualified articles related to the performance of built environments, environment control technologies and strategies, and energy materials and technologies that are currently implemented or have the potential for future applications in built environments.
Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, the following themes:
·Energy engineering, especially sustainable energy utilization and integrated energy systems which are applied or can be potentially applied in built environment in the future
-Clean/renewable energy technologies
-Integrated energy system, encompassing renewable energy, clean energy, mechanical energy, and the like
-High-performance components and equipment of energy system
-Energy storage materials and technologies
-Energy modelling and prediction
-Smart energy management
·Performance of indoor and outdoor built environment and solutions to achieve resilient and sustainable built environment
-Sustainable and resilient built environment design
-Sustainable built environment materials including concrete, wood, glazing, and the like
-Smart built infrastructure
-Modelling and performance prediction of built environment
-Acoustic, visual and thermal performance related to built environment
-Thermal comfort and human thermoregulation mechanism
-Pyrolysis, combustion, and smoke control for fire safety related to built environment
-Pressure environment and related aerodynamics
-Air quality and pollution control related to built environment
-Performance and energy saving for heating and cooling technologies
-Energy efficiency improvement technologies of built environment
-Information technologies for built environment
-Policy and regulatory frameworks for built environment regulation and carbon emission control

Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), founded in 1896 as the "Imperial Chinese Railway College", is one of the earliest institutions of higher engineering education in China. It has become known as "the cradle of railway engineers in China".
As one of the oldest Chinese universities, SWJTU is known as the birthplace of China's modern education in transportation, mining, metallurgy, and civil engineering. Having promoted the development of the Chinese railway system for 124 years, SWJTU is now continuously contributing to the development of the high-speed railway system and the Belt and Road Initiative. With a global vision, our research aims to provide scientific and engineering solutions for the global challenges of tomorrow, making a positive contribution to the world.
As an outstanding educational community, SWJTU strives to become a center of academic excellence with international impact, characterized by top-tier research, independent and innovative thinking, and the highest-quality teaching. We promote interdisciplinary scientific innovation and combine basic research with the application of extensive knowledge in rail transit and experience handling a wide range of engineering challenges. Building on its tradition of "rigorous scholarship and stringent requirements", SWJTU is dedicated to serving the society by preparing excellent graduates, leading the industry, and making an impact regionally and nationally.
