Abstract

Integrating intelligence into building structures offers numerous benefits for smart cities. This research focuses on the significance of smart buildings within city environments settings, providing valuable insights into the seven domains that significantly impact smart cities. It emphasizes the development of smart buildings that positively influence the environment, boost creativity and enable the seamless development of more intelligent inner-city environments. To address challenges across these domains, the Delphi method was employed, engaging a diverse group of experts to identify key issues and assess their relative importance, and SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The primary objective is to determine which smart building domains should be prioritized for citywide smartification and how they reinforce other building domains. Ultimately, this focus on innovation strengthens the sustainability of smart cities by analyzing the impacts of building performance across various domains and promoting citywide innovation networks. By examining the unique features of smart buildings, this research underscores innovation as a driving force for reshaping the cityscape. The aforementioned approach significantly advances smart city development, as technologically enhanced buildings are the foundation of innovative cities. In the absence of intelligent building practices, achieving smart cities is impossible; cities are fundamentally shaped by their buildings. Smart buildings take the first essential step toward creating smarter urban environments.
