期刊文献 --Editorial for Special Issue: Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings...

This issue of the ASME Journal of Engineering for Sustainable
Buildings and Cities (JESBC) is fully dedicated to peer-reviewed
papers specific to technologies and applications of Grid-interactive
Efficient Buildings (GEBs). As defined by a series of publications
by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) [1–5] and outlined in
Part 1 of the editorial in JESBC’s August 2020 issue [6], GEBs
are efficient, connected, smart, and flexible buildings. This GEB
special issue covers several technologies and applications for gridconnected
buildings and communities. Some of technologies
included in this special issue include dynamic insulation systems
for building envelopes, building-integrated fuel cells, and rooftop
photovoltaic (PV) systems. Moreover, this issue outlines the
designs and cost-benefits of net-zero energy (NZE) buildings and
carbon-neutral communities in the United States. Specific summaries
of the seven papers included in this issue are as follows:
