Abstract:

A smart building refers to a type of facility that integrates optimal design principles, advanced materials, intelligent systems, and modern technologies to provide a responsive and adaptive environment for users throughout the building's lifecycle. Among the most significant applications of modern building technologies is smartization, which aims to improve building performance through the integration of intelligent control systems. A truly smart building must incorporate four core components—systems, infrastructure, services, and management—as well as the dynamic interrelations between them. The primary objective of implementing smart control systems is to enable efficient energy storage and optimized energy consumption, which is increasingly recognized not as a luxury but as a practical necessity in the design and operation of high-rise and large-scale buildings. This study identifies the key factors influencing the implementation of green smartization through the use of intelligent materials, using a comprehensive literature review. Subsequently, these factors are prioritized using the Fuzzy VIKOR multi-criteria decision-making method. The results indicate that the following ten factors play a critical role in the adoption of green smart technologies using smart materials: integrated building monitoring and control (0.041), enhancement of occupant comfort and convenience (0.1057), improved service delivery (0.1526), reduction in energy consumption, better fulfillment of user needs, decreased maintenance costs, software-enabled integration of materials and facilities, advanced fire suppression systems, strategic cost savings, and temperature management (heating and cooling). These factors collectively underline the importance of incorporating smart and sustainable technologies in modern civil and structural engineering practice.
