| Abstract | "This book provides a comprehensive and forward-looking exploration of how renewable energy systems and intelligent technologies are reshaping the construction industry toward a more sustainable, resilient, and cost-efficient future. With climate change, energy transition, and digital transformation at the forefront of global priorities, the construction sector is undergoing a profound evolution one that this book addresses through research-informed analysis and practical case examples. It begins by examining the global development of solar, wind, and hydropower systems, emphasizing their potential to decarbonize the built environment when effectively integrated into building and infrastructure design. The discussion extends to the role of construction practices in advancing sustainability, showcasing real-world projects such as net-zero and energy-positive buildings that exemplify the application of renewable technologies in modern construction. The book explores the impact of Industry 4.0 and Construction 5.0, presenting how digital tools such as artificial intelligence, IoT, robotics, blockchain, and big data are transforming design processes, site operations, energy management, and performance monitoring. It also addresses how automation and human-robot collaboration are redefining productivity, safety, and workforce dynamics in construction. Central to the book is the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a collaborative platform for planning, simulating, and managing renewable energy facilities. It further introduces life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) as a critical decision-making framework, linking economic viability with environmental performance across a project's lifespan. This book is a valuable resource for professionals, researchers, and decision-makers in construction, engineering, architecture, and sustainability. It offers a structured synthesis of emerging technologies and renewable practices, equipping readers with actionable insights to implement intelligent and low-carbon solutions in the built environment"-- Provided by publisher. |
