    A Bibliometric Analysis of AI Trends in the AEC Industry
    (Preprints, 2025-09) Adewale, B. A.; Ene, Vincent Onyedikachi; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis
    This study employs a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to examine the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry over the past decade. Through systematic analysis of 68 publications from the Scopus database, utilizing co-authorship networks, citation analysis, and keyword co-occurrence mapping, the research reveals significant patterns and trends in AI adoption and research focus. The findings indicate a rapid growth in research output, with China, the United States, and the United Kingdom emerging as leading contributors. The analysis identifies four primary research clusters: AI integration across AEC processes, building lifecycle applications, digital technologies convergence, and automation techniques. A temporal evolution is observed, transitioning from basic automation to sophisticated applications involving machine learning, digital twins, and deep learning. The study highlights geographical disparities in research contributions and emphasizes the need for standardization in AI implementation. By providing insights into research trends, collaborative networks, and evolving focus areas, this analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of AI's role in transforming the AEC industry. The findings can guide future research directions, inform industry practitioners about emerging technologies, and support policymakers in developing frameworks for AI adoption in construction, ultimately facilitating more effective and responsible integration of AI technologies in AEC practices.

    Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Sustainable Building Lifecycle; A Systematic Literature Review
    (Preprints, 2024) Adewale, B. A.; Ene, Vincent Onyedikachi; Ogunbayo, Babatunde Fatai; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis
    With buildings accounting for a significant portion of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise for enhancing sustainability in the building lifecycle. This systematic literature review addresses the current understanding of AI’s potential to optimize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact in building design, construction, and operation. A comprehensive literature review and synthesis were conducted to identify AI technologies applicable to sustainable building practices, examine their influence, and analyze the challenges of implementation. The review was guided by a meticulous search strategy utilizing keywords related to AI application in sustainable building design, construction, and operation. The findings reveal AI’s capabilities in optimizing energy efficiency through intelligent control systems, enabling predictive maintenance, and aiding design simulation. Advanced machine learning algorithms facilitate data‐driven analysis and prediction, while digital twins provide real‐time insights for informed decision‐making. Furthermore, the review identifies barriers to AI adoption, including cost concerns, data security risks, and challenges in implementation. AI presents a transformative opportunity to enhance sustainability in the built environment, offering innovative solutions for energy optimization and environmentally conscious practices. However, addressing technical and practical challenges will be crucial for the successful integration of AI in sustainable building practices.
