Integration of Planning and Control Mechanisms within the Building Environment: A Review

Article Preview

Abstract:

The increasing complexity of building projects necessitates the integration of advanced planning and control mechanisms to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and safety throughout the construction and operational lifecycle. This paper explores the application of modern control and planning techniques—such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), Energy Management Systems (EMS), and Smart Building Automation Systems (BAS)—across key domains, including energy optimization, lighting and occupancy control, and security and access management. The study highlights how predictive algorithms, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and artificial intelligence contribute to the development of intelligent building systems, or smart buildings, which adapt dynamically to environmental and user needs. Challenges such as financial constraints, technical integration issues, and workforce skill gaps are analyzed alongside emerging trends like autonomous construction, cloud-based planning, and integration with smart city infrastructure. The findings highlight the crucial role of integrated control and planning strategies in creating high-performance, cost-effective, and future-ready building environments.
