Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The construction industry is shifting from its traditional role as a "builder" to becoming a "smart constructor" and "green development driver", geared toward the advancement of future cities and human-centric living. In recent years, the rapid development of digital technology has provided new opportunities for the green transformation of the construction industry. The field has promoted low-carbon, green, and prefabricated buildings based on informatization and intelligence, becoming research hotspots. This transformation leverages BIM, IoT, big data, and other technologies to achieve environmental friendliness from a whole-lifecycle project perspective, building an efficient, transparent, and collaborative digital construction system. This supports the industry's transition toward a low-carbon, intelligent, and sustainable future.
Working from a sustainable construction perspective, this Special Issue aims to conduct research on the sustainable development of construction projects, digitalization, and their interactions. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Potential research areas include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Accelerated design and construction;
- Prefabricated construction;
- Building information modeling (BIM);
- Green buildings;
- Low-carbon buildings;
- Smart cities;
- Whole-lifecycle theory;
- Big data, artificial intelligence, and intelligent buildings;
- Building operation and maintenance;
- Facilities management;
- Urban renewal.
- Living preservation of historic buildings
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
