Energy-efficient automated systems for thermal comfort control in buildings is an emerging research area that has the potential to be considered through a combination of smart solutions. This research aims to explore and optimize energy-efficient automated systems with regard to thermal comfort parameters, energy use, workloads, and their operation for thermal comfort control in indoor spaces. In this research, a systematic approach is deployed, and building information modeling (BIM) software and energy optimization algorithms are applied at first to thermal comfort parameters, such as natural ventilation, to derive the contextual information and compute the building performance of an indoor environment with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies installed. The open-source dataset from the experiment environment is also applied in training and testing unique black box models, which are examined through the users’ voting data acquired via the personal comfort systems (PCS), thus revealing the significance of Fanger’s approach and the relationship between people and their surroundings in developing the learning models. The contextual information obtained via BIM simulations, the IoT-based data, and the building performance evaluations indicated the critical levels of energy use and the capacities of the thermal comfort control systems. Machine learning models were found to be significant in optimizing the operation of the automated systems, and deep learning models were momentous in understanding and predicting user activities and thermal comfort levels for well-being; this can optimize energy use in smart buildings.

“…Claypool, Jimenez Garcia, Retsin, and Soler state the potential of 3-D printing in view of combining different functions within one system. [8] Automation processes allow materials to be used more precisely and thereby actively conserve resources. In the construction industry, the application of conventional processes and the use of pre-dimensioned building products often lead to oversized components and, thus, excessive material use.…”

To drive forward a fundamental change in the construction sector to achieve environmentally friendly progress in the construction processes, one promising approach is the synchronous implementation of the three main drivers technology, construction, and design. The key to this transformation is end-to-end digitalization. Our approach aims to achieve a new architectural quality by linking digitized design tools, ecological and environmentally friendly concepts, and serial production processes. Against this background, two research projects were advanced to enable adaptive prefabricated systems based on combined additive manufacturing. Two case studies illustrate the research results. In the first, a digital assessment tool is being developed to improve planning processes. With the tool, standardized yet adaptive constructions can be evaluated according to their sustainability impact in an early design phase. The second approach focuses on delivering a customized material composition realized with additive manufacturing methods. In an automated co-extrusion process, the dimensions and building-physical quality of story-high wall panels (floor-to-ceiling) can be adapted to individual requirements. The optimum balance of standardization vs individualized building solutions will introduce a novel flexibility for the architectural design process as well as a higher production efficiency. This strategy of individualized standardization is based on integrative collaboration and visionary research.

The construction sector has seen a surge in publications over the years, indicating that construction technologies are gaining traction across all economic sectors as a result of rapid technology growth. The focus on construction technologies is evident in industrialized nations and those with high gross national product (GNP). This study was conducted to assess the success criteria of applying advanced construction technologies in residential projects. The research started with creating the evaluation criteria which were formulated by taking into account the analysis and findings of previous research and expert opinions. Then, these criteria have been evaluated according to their importance for real estate developers. To assess the contributions of construction technologies in bettering the current construction methods in residential projects, the success criteria of employing the new technologies are examined based on real estate developers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, who are the target customers. Research findings illustrated that the most essential criteria for utilizing construction technologies in residential projects are “Reducing cost”, “Increasing the safety on-site” and “Reducing the time”. Research results asserted that the effectiveness of construction technologies used in residential projects relies on their ability to improve the management of essential construction operations and provide concrete advantages to homeowners. By implementing advanced construction technologies in the residential sector, there is a possibility of transforming the way we strategize, construct, and maintain our homes, thus making them better.
