The deadline for submissions to the upcoming Special Issue titled "Conservation of Historic Building Materials," which will be published in the open access journal Sustainability in 2019, has been extended to January 15th 2019. The Special Issue is open to both original research articles and review articles. You can find the Call for Papers at http://www.mdpi.com/si/15637 This Special Issue focuses on the conservation of historic building materials. Topics of relevance include scientific evaluation of historic materials, the interaction between conservators and scientists, sourcing of materials for repair or replacement, and the application of conservation principles and ethics to the current challenges facing the heritage community. Of further interest is the renovation and upgrading of historic buildings to meet global carbon reduction targets.
