Following the success of earlier events in the series, SEB-21, the thirteenth International Conference on Sustainability in Energy and Buildings will take place in Split, Croatia organised by the\u00a0KES International. SEB-21 invites participation and paper submissions across a broad range of sustainability and energy related topics relevant to the main theme of Sustainability in Energy and Buildings. Applicable areas include sustainable design and of buildings, neighbourhoods and cities (built and natural environment); optimisation and modelling techniques; smart energy systems for smart cities; green information communications technology; as well as a broad range of solar, wind, wave and other renewable energy topics. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and government and industry professionals to discuss the future of energy in buildings, neighbourhoods and cities from a theoretical, practical, implementation and simulation perspective. The conference will be an exciting chance to present, interact, and learn about the latest research in Sustainability in Energy and Buildings.\u00a0The following topics are relevant, however this list is not intended to be exclusive and papers on any topics relevant to the above themes are applicable:
