Aims and Scope

The Journal of Asian Institute of Low Carbon Design is an academic publication focused on low-carbon design, sustainable architecture, urban planning, and environmental improvement in Asia. The journal provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and young professionals to share original research, case studies, design projects, and practical approaches related to sustainable built environments.

The journal aims to promote academic exchange and interdisciplinary discussion on low-carbon strategies, environmental design, building technologies, and urban development. It particularly welcomes studies that address the environmental challenges of Asian cities and regions, including energy consumption, climate change, urban sustainability, disaster risk, and the improvement of living environments.

The scope of the journal includes the following areas:

- architectural design and low-carbon building design;
- urban planning and sustainable development;
- energy and environmental performance in buildings and cities;
- building physics, building technology, and construction materials;
- landscape planning, urban design, and public space improvement;
- disaster prevention, safety planning, and water environment;
- sustainable transport, urban infrastructure, and environmental management;
- design projects and practical proposals related to low-carbon architecture and urban environments.
