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.
Exploring the Integration of Digital Technologies and Lean Principles for Transformative Construction Project Management: A Review
(The Fourteenth International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century, 2024-09) Adewale, B. A.; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis; Ogunbayo, B. F.; Ene, Vincent Onyedikachi
This study explores the synergies between digital technologies and lean project delivery to address persistent challenges in the construction industry. The primary aim is to examine the integration of digital technologies, such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and modular construction techniques, with lean principles to transform construction project management. Building on previous research highlighting the potential of these approaches, a narrative literature review examined existing knowledge on leveraging digital tools to enable lean project delivery. The review process involved secondary data from scientific databases, with 150 potentially relevant papers scrutinized and reduced to a final sample of 68. Findings demonstrate that integrating digital technology and lean principles drives substantial improvements in collaboration, visualization, data-driven decision-making, productivity, supply chain management, and overall project performance, as evidenced by global case studies. The study identified key challenges and implementation considerations, including the need for cultural shifts, training investments, and robust data management capabilities. BIM's role in enhancing design coordination and modular construction's contribution to waste reduction and efficiency are highlighted as critical components of this integrated approach. The research builds upon earlier studies emphasizing the importance of digital transformation in construction, while uniquely focusing on its synergies with lean principles. Future research directions include in depth case studies, empirical investigations, and collaborative initiatives to further validate benefits, develop best practices, and explore emerging technologies' role in enhancing digital-lean synergies, thus unlocking the full potential of this integrated approach.
Implementing Litman’s Nine Principles of Regenerative Architecture: An Evaluation of a Proposed Public Building Design in Lagos, Nigeria
(The Fourteenth International Conference on Construction in the 21st Century, 2024-09) Adewale, B. A.; Ogunbayo, B. F.; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis; Ene, Vincent Onyedikachi
The building and construction industry is a major contributor to environmental degradation, accounting for significant energy-related carbon emissions and resource consumption. While sustainable building designs have helped mitigate impacts, they often fail to address the complex challenges of unsustainable practices fully. This has led to the emergence of regenerative design principles, which view buildings as living systems capable of fostering the regeneration of natural systems. This study focuses on a proposed recreation centre design in Lagos, Nigeria, and evaluates its application of Litman's nine principles of regenerative architecture. The methodology encompasses a literature review, site analysis, and a comprehensive design assessment. The results demonstrate a well-integrated approach, with the design exemplifying principles such as Whole Systems Design Integration, Integration into the Landscape, Bold Ecology, and Intelligent Limits. The recreation centre actively contributes to restoring and enhancing the local ecosystem while fostering meaningful connections between the community and the natural environment. The findings provide valuable insights for architects, urban planners, and policymakers, showcasing the recreation centre as a model for integrating regenerative design principles into public spaces. Limitations of the study include its focus on a single case study and the lack of post-occupancy evaluation. Recommendations for future research include comparative analyses of multiple case studies and exploring the broader applicability of regenerative design in diverse public space contexts. By expanding the knowledge and applications of regenerative design, the built environment can catalyse positive change, actively contributing to environmental rejuvenation and community.
