ADVANCES IN BUILDING ENERGY RESEARCH 2020, VOL. 14, NO. 2, 158–159 https://doi.org/10.1080/17512549.2020.1752013 The building sector consumes a staggering 40% of the world’s energy and is a significant gen- erator of greenhouse gas as it heats, cools, and ventilates the indoor environment. This makes it a critical target for reducing energy consumption as we face sustainability challenges regarding energy use and environmental damage. High-performance buildings have been in high demand for a long time, as they satisfy thermal comfort and indoor air quality with minimal energy use. Advanced Engineering Designs in buildings can achieve even more significant energy reductions and provide the right thermal comfort for occupants. However, this can only be achieved if there is a collaboration among building engineers, environmental scientists, architects, facility managers, and policy makers. This was the founding spirit of COBEE (Inter- national Conference On Energy & Environment). In 2018, the COBEE event was hosted at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. The confer- ence brought together researchers from all over the world to showcase many advanced engin- eering designs and to address the negative impact of increased building energy consumption. The quality of submitted papers was exceptional and demonstrated a strong interest in the fol- lowing
