3. Built Environment & Technological Advancement

The integration of technology and the physical infrastructure is giving rise to a novel epoch characterized by intelligent, environmentally friendly, and user-centric design. The architectural environment is being significantly influenced by technological breakthroughs. The utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) facilitates the optimization of design and construction procedures, whereas Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) contribute to the enhancement of visual representation and user engagement.

 

The implementation of sophisticated mechanical solutions, such as intelligent heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, has been shown to enhance both sustainability and comfort levels. Artificial Intelligence (A.I) facilitates the optimization of building operations, while the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates the administration of real-time data. The attainment of a net-zero built environment is of utmost importance, notwithstanding the challenges associated with effectively navigating the hazards inherent in the transition process.

 

The incorporation of technologies such as green building materials and energy-efficient systems is of utmost importance in the process of decarbonizing the built environment. This not only helps to tackle environmental issues but also enhances the overall well-being of individuals residing in these spaces.
