Advances in Building Energy Research

Advances in Building Energy Research (ABER) aims to provide expert and authoritative reviews and analyses of the most important developments across the rapidly expanding fields of energy efficiency and environmental performance of buildings. It also provides a unique forum by bringing together invited contributions from the foremost international experts, to examine new technologies and methodologies with the latest research on systems, simulations and standards.

Published bi-annually and peer-reviewed, ABER delivers an invaluable resource for architects, building engineers, environmental engineers, industry professionals, students, teachers and researchers in building science.

Topics covered by ABER include:

• invaluable thermal comfort in the built environment  • advanced materials to improve energy efficiency of buildings  • indoor air quality  • energy efficient lighting and daylight  • visual comfort in the built environment  • thermal and air flow studies in the urban environment  • passive solar heating of buildings and passive cooling in buildings  • energy efficient HVAC systems for buildings  • urban energy systems  • design and retrofitting of energy efficient buildings  • use of renewable energies in the built environment  • natural , mechanical and hybrid ventilation  • monitoring and measurement techniques in buildings  • energy rating and classification of buildings  • intelligent control of buildings  • building physics  • environmental impact and sustainability in the building sector  • legislative and educational aspects for energy efficient buildings

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, will undertake peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts

Architectural Theory Review

Architectural Theory Review is an international forum for generating, exchanging and reflecting on architectural theory. It is a review in the sense of a periodical publication containing articles, discussions, and review essays concerned with the contemporary state of architectural theory. But more than this, it uses the notion of review as a verb, to forge a distinct approach to architectural theory and discourse. The journal investigates relationships between current critical issues, the legacy of past debates, and the continued reconfiguration of enduring concerns in architectural theory. ATR values the untimely as well as the propitious - attending to the overlooked and unrealised as well as the projective, and thus allows for critical and even subversive readings of what architectural theory has been, can be and will be.

 

The underpinning for ATR’s editorial approach is thus not a disciplinary field or ideological position, but rather a formal strategy. Each special issue of ATR concentrates on reviewing a particular object – whether a text, a drawing, a building, or otherwise – the implications and legacies of which are addressed by the contributors to that special issue. The selected object is thus a catalyst: a point of departure or contention; of revision, re-evaluation, and review.

 

Peer Review Statement   All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous double-blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by at least two anonymous reviewers.  

Editorials, Practice Reviews and Book Reviews have undergone editorial screening.
