Investigation of Artificial Intelligence Applications in Advancing Sustainable Construction Practices in the European Union

The European Union is at the forefront of integrating digital technologies into its construction sector as a means to foster sustainability and achieve its ambitious environmental objectives. This paper investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) is employed within the construction industry to promote sustainable development across EU member states. By reviewing recent legislative frameworks—such as the EU AI Act—as well as emerging technological strategies, this study outlines the transformative potential of AI-driven solutions, including optimized energy management, waste reduction, and enhanced building information modeling (BIM). Furthermore, the article discusses the challenges inherent in adopting AI technologies, such as data privacy concerns, gaps in workforce expertise, and the high initial investment costs. Finally, potential avenues for future research are identified that could help in refining AI applications for sustainable construction, thereby contributing to a low-carbon, high-efficiency built environment. The conclusions drawn emphasize the necessity for a balanced regulatory approach and continuous technological innovation to ensure that AI not only revolutionizes construction practices but also aligns with the EU's overarching goals of sustainability and resilience.
