Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope The Journal of Sustainable Architecture and Civil Engineering (SACE) is an international, peer-reviewed open-access interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in sustainable development within the built environment. The journal serves as a platform for disseminating original research, critical reviews, and case studies that explore the integration of sustainability principles in architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning. SACE welcomes contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following areas: Sustainability Net-Zero and Certified Sustainable Buildings Circular Economy and Carbon Footprint Reduction Bio-Based and Low-Carbon Technologies Sustainable Water and Waste Management Environmental Comfort and Data-Driven Design Digital Construction, BIM, and Digital Twins Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Digital Twins Computational and Parametric Design Tools Digital Retrofitting and HBIM for Heritage Data Standards and Interoperability AI and Automation in Construction Processes Climate Adaptation and Resilience Integrated Climate Adaptation in the Built Environment Nature-Based Solutions and Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Digital Technologies for Climate Resilience Social Equity and Community-Based Adaptation Post-Disaster Recovery and Adaptive Reuse Architecture and Urbanism Climate-Responsive and Resilient Built Environments Heritage, Identity, and Adaptive Reuse Inclusive and Regenerative Design Innovation in Architecture and Urban Space Theories, Methods, and Critical Practice Energy and Buildings Renewable Energy and Building-Integrated Systems Energy-Efficient and Net-Zero Buildings Simulation Tools and Digital Twins Occupant Behavior and Energy Use Life Cycle Energy and Operational Carbon Construction, Materials, and Structural Performance Sustainable, Innovative, and Bio-Based Construction Materials Modular, Prefabricated, and Industrialized Construction Systems Structural Per

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
