On behalf of the editorial board, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all contributors to and participants in the successful publishing of all issues of the International Journal of Sustainable Building Technology and Urban Development in 2016. Since January 2012, Taylor & Francis (UK) has published the SUSB journal and distributed it through their network. We hope this will provide us with significant opportunities to disseminate our efforts on a global level. As indexed in the SCOPUS database since 2013, there has been rapidly growing research papers application, which makes, I am sure, this journal stage up for the better built environmental. Once again, I would like to express my appreciation to all the members of the editorial board and all of our contributors.
Besides financial support from ERC Structural Laboratory at Hanyang University(DuraBI), Hanyang University Industry-University cooperation foundation and Industry-University Engineering science college are helpful to continue this journal with a high level of publication.
This is a combination issue of SUSB third and fourth in 2016. Twelve technical papers are selected to celebrate the last issue with T&F with the various topics for the sustainable built environment. Also, there will be a big change. We would like to announce on a new venue, move from T&F to Cross DB, a new publisher, for another promising future in 2017. The quality and impact of SUSB are showing as growing numbers of papers and authors over the world. SUSB has a truly international scope, applied with an average of 10 countries each issue.
Once again, I would like to express my appreciation to all the members of the editorial board and all of our contributors who have made this journal possible.
