We are pleased to announce the launch of a new journal, Journal of Building Engineering.

The Journal of Building Engineering is an interdisciplinary journal that covers all aspects of science and technology of the built environment. It is concerned with the whole life-cycle of the built environment, from the design phase through to construction, operation, performance, maintenance and its deterioration.

We welcome contributions from academics across disciplines – from areas such as (but not limited to) architecture, structural and mechanical engineering, building physics, building services engineering and construction and project management. We particularly welcome papers that have a ‘whole building’ perspective and will appeal to the journal’s broad readership.

To learn more about the journal and the specific topics it will cover, please visit the journal homepage.

The submission site is now open and we aim to publish the first issue in the first quarter of 2015. All content published in 2015 will be made freely accessible for all to read.

The guide for authors and the instructions on how to submit can be found here:
