Façades and glazing designs are at the forefront of enabling buildings to meet net-zero energy and carbon targets while enhancing resilience. We invite research and case studies on innovations that improve energy performance—such as vacuum and transparent glazing, dynamic thermal management, and smart control systems—and on integrating renewable technologies like building-integrated photovoltaics. By bringing together work from architects, engineers, policymakers and scientists, this collection offers strategies and insights for creating sustainable, high-performance building envelopes aligned with global climate targets.
