      abstract = {Building engineering is a complex and constantly evolving  branch. The needs of the XXI century society cause a  constant change in construction industry due to the need to  achieve sustainable and ecological buildings. This affects  all levels and phases of this engineering. Given this  circumstance, numerous researchers turn their efforts to  find optimal solutions for building engineering. For this  reason, in this book a holistic analysis of building  engineering is carried out from the perspectives that have  a greater weight for sustainability objectives. The book is  divided into 6 sections: (i) Building materials, which  deals with research related to the most innovative and  sustainable building materials; (ii) Design and  construction, which deals with existing methodologies and  advances in design and construction in construction sector;  (iii) Building repair and maintenance, which deals with  building repair, maintenance and upkeep techniques; (iv)  Energy efficiency, which analyses the latest research on  the energy efficiency of buildings and their behaviour in  the face of climate change; (v) Sustainability, which  analyses the establishment of measures to achieve a more  sustainable built environment; and (vi) construction  management, which compiles the latest studies in the field  of Project manager. The 38 chapters of the book together  constitute an advance for the topic of building  engineering. The aspects covered in the book are of great  interest to various sectors, such as researchers,  engineers, architects, legislators and interested parties.},
