Draws on the authors' international academic and industry experience to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the beneficial impact of AI to the building industry, with both theoretical insights and real-world applications. Demonstrates to readers how many building industry challenges can be successfully addressed using intelligent technologies. Presents detailed, cutting-edge methods of applying AI to a range of building industry procedures and performance aspects of the built environment, enabling readers to use AI solutions to address similar problems they may be confronted with in their projects/investigations. Suggests models, algorithms and tools providing a practical pathway for readers to apply AI technologies across the entire building process lifecycle to enhance innovation, efficiency and productivity. The emphasis on intelligence technologies appeals equally to academic and industry-based readers who are interested in getting in front of the sector's technology curve and also discovering innovative, practical solutions

'The Application of Intelligent Technologies to High-Performance Built Environments' is a comprehensive, lifecycle-based resource on the application of intelligent technologies to the entire building process, from early stage planning and generative design, to structural optimisation, fabrication and construction management to long-term operation

Unlike many existing works that focus narrowly on either design or construction, 'The Application of Intelligent Technologies to High-Performance Built Environments' offers a coherent, authored narrative that connects state-of-the-art AI technologies with practical, high-impact challenges in the built environment

Describes cutting edge technologies including diffusion models, transformer models, computer vision and deep learning, and highlights the remarkable potential for their application to the building industry
