Aims and Scope
Building Simulation: An International Journal publishes original, high quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles dealing with modeling and simulation of buildings including their systems. The goal is to promote the field of building science and technology to such a level that modeling will eventually be used in every aspect of building construction as a routine instead of an exception. Of particular interest are papers that reflect recent developments and applications of modeling tools and their impact on advances of building science and technology.

First review, second review both took over a month, and the minor revisions in the third review took less than a month. Finally accepted on 07-26.
There were quite a few reviewers, and they were quite professional, providing some in-depth research suggestions. However, the editor seemed busy, sometimes taking two weeks to process the revised submission.
Overall, the speed was fast. This was my first SCI paper, so there were inevitably some irregularities in the process of revision, response, and manuscript submission. However, as long as I answered carefully, made every effort to revise, and used appropriate wording, I believe that articles with opportunities for revision have a high success rate. I hope that my colleagues can all gain something from this experience, and I hope that your journal will continue to improve.

It can be said that it was very fast; the editorial department was very efficient. Usually, they directly send it to the reviewers. They gave a major revision after about a month, and after making the changes, it was resubmitted after 19 days. Then, in less than a month, they gave a minor revision, and about 10 days later, it was accepted. The evaluations from the three reviewers were also very detailed and fair. They provided suggestions for improvement and helped me refine the article. It's my first SCI publication, and I'm very happy. I will continue to work hard.
