Short description about the volume:

The global shift towards sustainable energy solutions has established smart buildings as a crucial element of modern infrastructure. As energy demand continues to escalate, integrating renewable energy generation and advanced storage technologies is essential for enhancing efficiency, reducing carbon footprints, and decreasing reliance on conventional power grids. The evolution of solar photovoltaics (PV), wind energy, geothermal systems, and hybrid energy solutions has paved the way for more resilient and energy-efficient buildings. However, effective deployment requires a robust framework encompassing thermodynamics of renewable energy conversion, power electronics for grid integration, and energy harvesting mechanisms. This book will provide a comprehensive, research-driven exploration of these core concepts while addressing the increasing role of smart grids, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled energy monitoring, and demand-side management (DSM) in optimizing energy consumption within smart infrastructures. The foundational chapters will delve into the principles of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), wind energy systems, geothermal heat pumps, and thermal energy storage, offering insights into their integration with intelligent automation and energy-efficient design. By analyzing the role of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and predictive analytics, this volume will highlight data-driven methodologies for real-time energy optimization and resource allocation in smart buildings.

Building on fundamental concepts, this book will explore cutting-edge energy storage technologies, including solid-state batteries, supercapacitors, phase-change materials (PCMs), and hydrogen-based storage systems, highlighting their role in mitigating energy intermittency and enhancing grid reliability. It will examine the potential of hybrid energy systems, smart microgrids, and net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs) as future-ready solutions for decentralized power management.

Additionally, the book will investigate blockchain-based energy trading models that enable peer-to-peer (P2P) energy exchange and decentralized grid interactions. Through an interdisciplinary approach, it plans to bridge the gap between engineering principles, policy frameworks, and sustainable building design, ensuring a holistic understanding of renewable energy integration.

Key challenges such as cybersecurity in energy management, economic feasibility, and regulatory policies will also be addressed, supported by global case studies showcasing successful implementations. By combining theoretical insights with practical applications, this volume will service as a definitive reference for researchers, engineers, urban planners, and policymakers committed to shaping resilient, self-sufficient, and intelligent energy ecosystems for the smart cities of the future.
