Enhancing Construction Sustainability Through Real-Time Performance Monitoring and Risk Management

Abstract

This study examines the application of real-time performance monitoring technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT), in improving the efficiency and sustainability of construction projects. By utilizing real-time data collected from IoT sensors and analyzed through cloud-based platforms, this study demonstrated a 15% improvement in energy efficiency, a reduction in material waste by up to 10%, and a 12% acceleration in project completion time. These technologies also enhanced collaboration among stakeholders through transparent and real-time data access, which assisted in faster and more accurate decision-making. Despite these significant benefits, this study also identified challenges related to implementation costs and a lack of skilled labor in developing countries and projects with limited resources. This study concludes that real-time performance monitoring has great potential to support the sustainability and efficiency of construction projects; however, further development is needed in terms of more affordable solutions and improved workforce training to ensure broader adoption of this technology.
