Green buildings: Requirements, features, life cycle, and relevant intelligent technologies

Abstract

Green buildings are designed and constructed according to the principles of sustainable development and are an inevitable trend in future architectural development. Nowadays, many works have studied the application of intelligence or intelligent technology in green intelligent buildings, but there is still insufficient discussion on how to integrate intelligent technology into all aspects of buildings. In view of this, this paper summarizes the design concepts of modern green buildings and takes this as the starting point to explore the classification and construction of the core needs for achieving sustainable development throughout the life cycle of buildings from five aspects: building design, building materials, building construction, building renewal and management, and building damage, and analyze the integration of relevant intelligent technologies in buildings under different needs.
