A STUDY ON SUSTAINABLE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF TRANSITION FROM CONSTRUCTION 4.0 TOWARDS 5.0

Abstract

The aim of this study is to to analyse the theoretical framework of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 and their implications for the construction industry, as well as explaining their possible effects, by using an empirical research based on the existing scientific literature. Industry 4.0 is an under-researched area in the construction industry, even though this field has a high benefit for the parties involved. Industry 5.0, on the other hand, stands for direct cooperation between robots or intelligent machines and humans. According to the ideas of the European Commission, Industry 5.0 consists of a triad: human orientation, sustainability and resilience. Since this paper represents an outcome of an early PHD research, the methodology chosen was examining other similar research in the literature of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 in the construction industry, new established concepts (such as Building Information Modeling, Product Lifecycle Management, sustainability).
