Routledge Handbook of Smart Built Environment

About this book

The primary aim of this edited volume is to document the current theories, best practices, and technological advancements in the move towards a Smart Built Environment (SBE). The needs to accelerate towards the SBE are numerous and include:

  • Increasing complexities and the need for interconnectivity within the built environment (e.g. mega infrastructure projects)
  • Data-driven decision-making resulting in higher demand from clients (e.g. smart design, construction, operation, and end of life [EOL])
  • High requirements from stakeholders (e.g. system efficiency, environmental performance, green procurement)
  • Fast paced technological advancement and integration
  • Natural disaster resilience of the built environment (e.g. prediction, smart control of building component)
  • Sustainability issues around the built environment

In this book, the interrelationships among the various lifecycle stages: design, construction, operation, and EOL; the collective benefit of synergy at building level, multi-infrastructure level, and city-level, as well as the ultimate goals in relation to the deployment of smart technologies in the industry are addressed. Part I covers smart design and construction, Part II smart living, and operation, and Part III broadens the scope to the whole smart city. Chapters examine:

  • How smart technologies can improve the effectiveness, productivity, and efficiency of the built environment
  • An overview of theories and practices that are enabled by innovations and technologies for developing the SBE
  • The basis for new research agenda, new concepts, and frameworks for future development

This handbook documents the current theories, practices, and technologies and develops a holistic approach for research and practice by adopting a multidimensional outlook for the SBE. It is an essential reference work for all built environment stakeholders, from academia through to the professions.
