The aims and scope of this special issue is located on the theoretical and practical methodologies that can build a futuristic foundation for better built environment without compromising both of the energy efficiency and human comfort. It can be investigated how to efficiently control indoor environment and provide optimized energy supply that have been studied in various energy-related fields. In particular, the smart solutions have been increasingly applied for the provision of the comfortable and effient built environment. This special issue will cover the diverse & cutting-edge theories and technologies which are relevant to this innovative soluations. Hopefully the usability of innovative viewpoints of several studies from this special issue can be further expanded in different and disciplanary areas including art, education, economy, policy, medicine as well as energy-inspired science.
