Aims and scope
Science and Technology for the Built Environment, ASHRAE’s archival research publication offers comprehensive reporting of original research in science and technology related to the stationary and mobile built environment, including

Indoor environmental quality, occupant health, comfort, and productivity
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) and related technologies
Thermodynamic and energy system dynamics, controls, optimization, fault detection and diagnosis, smart systems, and building demand-side management
Experiments and analysis related to material properties, underlying thermodynamics, refrigerants, fluid dynamics, airflow, and heat and mass transfer
Renewable and traditional energy systems and related processes and concepts
Integrated built environmental system design approaches and tools
Novel simulation approaches and algorithms and validated simulations
Building enclosure materials, assemblies, and systems for minimizing and/or regulating space heating and cooling modes
Review articles that critically assess existing literature and point out future research directions
Only works reporting on research that is original and of lasting value are accepted for publication. This journal is included in the Web of Science and Current Contents Connect databases. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Science and Technology for the Built Environment is published by Taylor & Francis Group on behalf of ASHRAE, a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. Science and Technology for the Built Environment is available online, as a printed volume published twice a year and through “Open Select” offered by Taylor & Francis. ASHRAE and Taylor and Francis aim to expand the global reach and readership, to achieve the highest possible levels of accessibility through rapid review and publication process, and to improve access to previously published articles.
