Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled ‘Sustainability of Smart Building: The Intelligence Application, Industry 4.0, BIM, Environmental Comfort, and Safety Application’, is timely and tailored towards addressing a crucial part of socio-economic development, especially for developing countries’ construction sustainability and digitalisation. This Special Issue will offer a significant platform for researchers to share their solutions to the age-long problems of the construction industry, particularly in developing countries. This is because research shows that when construction organisations transform from a traditional service delivery approach to a more digitalised approach, significant improvements in project delivery and better competitive advantage for these organisations are inevitable. This can be achieved through knowledge sharing via research publications. This Special Issue welcomes research papers in related fields that are tailored towards construction sustainability and digitalisation to improve the transformation quest and deliver a more sustainable environment.
