The needs to accelerate towards the SBE are numerous and include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreasing complexities and the need for interconnectivity within the built environment (e.g. mega infrastructure projects)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eData-driven decision-making resulting in higher demand from clients (e.g. smart design, construction, operation, and end of life [EOL])\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh requirements from stakeholders (e.g. system efficiency, environmental performance, green procurement)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFast paced technological advancement and integration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNatural disaster resilience of the built environment (e.g. prediction, smart control of building component)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSustainability issues around the built environment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the interrelationships among the various lifecycle stages: design, construction, operation, and EOL; the collective benefit of synergy at building level, multi-infrastructure level, and city-level, as well as the ultimate goals in relation to the deployment of smart technologies in the industry are addressed. Part I covers smart design and construction, Part II smart living, and operation, and Part III broadens the scope to the whole smart city.
