The paper highlights that green heating and cooling technologies, despite their benefits, are underused in Europe due to barriers such as dependence on fossil fuels and insufficient expertise; however, targeted policies and innovations could enhance their adoption and contribute to achieving climate goals.

This paper shows that including businesses and industrial users in renewable energy communities can greatly improve energy sharing and self-sufficiency for residential members.

Given the challenge of housing over 8 billion people sustainably, the study finds that industrialised methods, particularly the MDR modular system, offer better economic and environmental benefits than traditional construction.

Embodied carbon significantly affects building-related emissions. This research assesses whether 'net-zero embodied carbon' is feasible for multi-storey office buildings in Australia.

A machine learning-based model significantly enhances energy efficiency in green buildings by accurately predicting and reducing energy consumption for cooling and heating.

Advanced building facades can reduce energy consumption through cutting-edge fabrication techniques that enhance solar and thermal heat management.

The paper explores how fragmented collaborations in the building industry can be unified to advance circular economy practices in facade design and servitisation, highlighting the need for ecosystem-wide engagement and the role of digital technologies.

Smart technologies enhance building environments and energy efficiency, with the Smart Readiness Indicator assessing their integration. This study, analysing 59 high performance buildings in South Tyrol, Italy, shows varied readiness levels but no clear link to energy performance class.

Integrating green infrastructure with dense urban construction in the Netherlands can enhance ecosystem services and increase green areas, guiding sustainable urban planning amid growing urban populations.

The paper reviews advancements in phase change materials (PCMs) for building envelopes, highlighting their benefits for thermal regulation and energy efficiency while addressing challenges and exploring hybrid technologies for improved performance.
