We are proud to publish a new issue of the Journal of Façade Design and Engineering. This first 

issue of volume 10 covers a broad range of themes  such as adaptivity, automation, circularity, 

refurbishment, daylight, acoustics, and user interaction are addressed by peer-reviewed articles.

We would also like to take this opportunity to share some changes in the JFDE editorial team 

and publishing process. Prof. Tillmann Klein is changing his role from editor-in-chief to editorial 

board member. Tillmann Klein has been a front-runner in open-access publishing since JFDE was 

launched in 2013. Together with Ulrich Knaack he was responding to a call from the Netherlands 

Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) to develop new Journal models. The editorial team is 

most grateful for its outstanding contribution to making JFDE a reference point in the façade design 

and engineering field. The role is taken over by Dr. Thaleia Konstantinou, who has been promoting 

the Journal as managerial editor in the past years.

As we go forward, we strive to ensure scientific quality as well as relevance for society and industry. 

JFDE has revised the editorial process giving a larger responsibility to the editorial board to control 

the scientific rigour of our published articles. We have also introduced procedures to regularly extend 

the editorial board.

It makes us very proud to have reached the 10th year of publishing with JFDE, respected and valued 

by our authors and readers. Thanks for this! And, of course: to be continued!
