Advancing Smart and Sustainable Construction: Integrating Circular Economy, Energy Efficiency, and Economic Viability in the Built Environment
Abstract
Nearly 39% of all global CO2 emissions and about 30% of natural resources are used in the construction industry, which makes it very important for sustainability. Although more businesses choose renovations, pay attention to energy saving, and focus on CSR, sustainable changes move at a slow pace due to lacking economic and environmental integration. Progress in sustainable products, circular economy models, energy-saving building techniques, and digital system applications are reviewed in this chapter. The use of low-carbon cement, recycled composites, passive design, prefabrication, and AI is changing the construction field. At the same time, the high expenses, strict rules, and reserved attitude among investors delay the industry's progress. It points out that policy incentives, financial instruments, and effective regulations are the most important for a change to green and efficient construction.
