Abstract:

Disruptive innovation is presently occurring in Nigeria’s construction industry through the green building projects which has a great role to play in enhancing climate resilience. According to the Green Building Council of Nigeria, the number of green building projects in the country is on the rise. The green building projects incorporate sustainable design, energy-efficient technologies, and eco-friendly construction materials, leading to reduced carbon emissions and resource conservation. However, the uniqueness and inherent complexities of Nigeria’s construction industry require the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve its processes and enhance overall competitiveness and performance. This study examined the awareness level and application of AI to provide useful insights into the state of AI applications in the Nigerian construction industry in advancing the green building projects. Through literature review and participant observation, this study identifies the role of artificial intelligence in advancing the green building projects in Nigeria. This study recommends more awareness creation on the role of artificial intelligence in advancing the green building projects for climate resilience in Nigeria. It concludes with a clarion call for deeper research on the above subject matter.
