The Journal of Facade Design and Engineering presents new research results and new proven practice of the field of facade design and engineering. The goal is to improve building technologies, as well as process management and architectural design.

This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics involved in the design and engineering of building envelopes, including the following disciplines:
• Architecture
• Building Engineering
• Structural design
• Climate design
• Building Services Engineering
• Building Physics
• Design Management
• Facility Management

The journal will – initially - be directed at the scientific community, but it will also feature papers that focus on the dissemination of science into practice and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between scientific developments, technical considerations and management issues.

Peer Review

The review of JFDE papers is executed by 24 associate editors and numerous additional reviewers. The list of editors can be found on the website. The reviewers are chosen according to their expertise and an unbiased situation to the author. JFDE also publishes special issues for which guest editors are appointed when needed, in order to guarantee the scientific quality. An example is the Special Issue Glass (Volume 2, Issue 1-2).

JFDE is using a double blind peer reviewed process. Before papers are sent for review a formal check is executed (language, form, citation style). The reviewers give a detailed, substantiated judgement, concluding with the statement: accepted, accepted with minor or major changes or rejected. Possibly including advice on how to improve the papers or confidential notes to the editors. A second review cycle is needed in many cases. The final decision on how to treat papers lies with the editor in chief.

For any questions, please contact us at JFDE-BK@TUDelft.nl

Required files

The following electronic files are required: - a word processor file of the text, such as Word, WordPerfect. Separate files of all figures (if any); see "Figures" for the required file formats. Note that the manuscript should be sent as one word documents file with tables and figures included. Please also add a PDF of the same document.

Colour figures
It is possible to have figures printed in colour, provided the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author. See Preparation of Manuscripts for the required file formats.

Open Access
Journal papers will be published Open Access (OA. The article will be freely available from the moment it is published, also in the pre-press module. Within the first three years no article processing charges are required.

They will be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

Preparation of manuscripts
Papers should be between 4000 and 8000 words in length.

Organization of the paper and style of presentation
Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are advised to seek the advice of a native English speaker, before submitting their manuscripts. Peerwith offers a language and copyediting service to all scientists who want to publish their manuscript in scientific peer-reviewed periodicals and books.

Manuscripts should be prepared with wide margins and double spacing throughout, including the abstract, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc., should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Try to avoid the excessive use of italics and bold face.

Manuscripts should be organized in the following order:

• Title page
• Abstract
• Body of text (divided by subheadings)
  • Introduction
  • Methodology
  • Experiment/ research
  • Results
  • Conclusions
  • etc.
• Acknowledgements
• References
• Tables
• Figure captions
• Figures

Headings and subheadings should be numbered and typed on a separate line, without indentation.

SI units should be used, i.e., the units based on the metre, kilogramme, second, etc.

Title page

The title page should provide the following information:

• Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long)
• Name(s) of author(s); please indicate who is the corresponding author
• Full affiliation(s)
• Present address of author(s), if different from affiliation
• Complete address of corresponding author, including tel. no., fax no. and e-mail address
• Abstract; should be clear, descriptive, self-explanatory and not longer than 200 words, it should also be suitable for publication in abstracting services
• Keywords (see list of keywords)

 Tables

Number as Table 1, Table 2 etc, and refer to all of them in the text.
Each table should be provided on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should not be included in the text.
Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.

Figures

Number figures as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc and refer to all of them in the text.
Each figure should be provided as a separate file. Figures should also be included in the text in smaller file size.
Colour figures can be included, provided the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
For the file formats of the figures please take the following into account:

• Line art should be have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi, save as EPS or TIFF
• Greyscales (incl. photos) should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (no lettering), or 500 dpi (when there is lettering); save as tiff
• Do not save figures as JPEG, this format may lose information in the process
• Do not use figures taken from the Internet, the resolution will be too low for printing
• Do not use colour in your figures if they are to be printed in black & white, as this will reduce the print quality (note that in software often the default is colour, you should change the settings)
• For figures that should be printed in colour, please send a CMYK encoded EPS or TIFF

Figures should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. They should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50%.
On maps and other figures where a scale is needed, use bar scales rather than numerical ones, i.e., do not use scales of the type 1:10,000. This avoids problems if the figures need to be reduced.

Each figure should have a self-explanatory caption. The captions to all figures should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity.

For reference please use APA style.
