This systematic literature review explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance sustainability throughout a building's lifecycle. The review identifies AI technologies applicable to sustainable building practices, examines their influence, and analyzes implementation challenges. Key findings include AI's capabilities in optimizing energy efficiency, enabling predictive maintenance, and aiding in design simulation. Advanced machine learning algorithms facilitate data-driven analysis, while digital twins provide real-time insights for decision-making. The review also identifies barriers to AI adoption, such as cost concerns, data security risks, and implementation challenges. While AI offers innovative solutions for energy optimization and environmentally conscious practices, addressing these challenges is crucial for its successful integration in sustainable building practices. The study contributes to the understanding of AI integration with sustainable building practices and guides designers and construction personnel on appropriate deployment of AI technologies.This systematic literature review explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance sustainability throughout a building's lifecycle.
