Promoting net-zero carbon in the Vietnamese construction sector: potential benefits and challenges identified by key stakeholders

Smart and Sustainable Built Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 24, 2025

Purpose Achieving net-zero carbon in construction offers immense environmental and economic benefits, but its widespread adoption developing countries faces unique challenges. While research exists on construction, the specific context of economies like Vietnam remains under-researched. This study bridges this gap by investigating potential benefits challenges related to promoting as perceived key stakeholders sector. Design/methodology/approach Employing a rigorous methodology with four main phases, data collected from professionals was analyzed using various statistical techniques. ANOVA Tukey’s post-hoc analyses were employed identify differences stakeholders’ perceptions, while identified evaluated ranked based their mean scores. Findings The results highlight significant difference perception among stakeholders, including policymakers, contractors, suppliers architects/designers. In addition, all acknowledge social particularly improved air quality, climate change mitigation enhanced corporate responsibility; persist, high initial costs, inadequate business models lack clear standards. Practical implications contributes significantly Vietnamese sector providing valuable recommendations tailored address faced each stakeholder group. These efforts can not only contribute Vietnam’s national goals also serve model for other emerging seeking transition towards more sustainable built environment. Originality/value body knowledge offering comparative analysis how perceive countries. stakeholder-centered approach enhances practical relevance initiatives, effective inclusive pathways toward practices markets.

AI-Driven Digital Twins for Enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality and Energy Efficiency in Smart Building Systems

Buildings, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(7), P. 1030 - 1030

Published: March 24, 2025

Smart buildings equipped with diverse control systems serve the objectives of gathering data, optimizing energy efficiency (EE), and detecting diagnosing faults, particularly in domain indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Digital twins (DTs) offering an environmentally sustainable solution for managing facilities incorporated artificial intelligence (AI) create opportunities maintaining IEQ EE. The purpose this study is to assess impact AI-driven DTs on enhancing EE smart building (SBS). A scoping review was performed establish theoretical background about DTs, AI, IEQ, SBS, semi-structured interviews were conducted specialists industry obtain qualitative quantitative data gathered via a computerized self-administered questionnaire (CSAQ) survey, focusing how can improve SBS. results indicate that DT enhances occupants’ comfort energy-efficiency performance enables decision-making automatic fault detection maintenance conditioning buildings’ serviceability real time, response key industrial needs management (BEMS) interrogative predictive analytics maintenance. integration AI presents transformative approach improving practical implications advancement span across design, construction, policy domains, significant challenges need be carefully considered.
