ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AIDED BUILDING DESIGN AS THE DETERMINANT OF EFFECTIVE THERMAL COMFORT IN HOUSES. AN ACADEMIC DISCOURSE BY ARCHITECTS IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN AKWA IBOM STATE

ABSTRACT

This study examined artificial intelligence-aided building design as the determinant of effective thermal comfort in houses, as an academic discourse. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into architectural design has revolutionised the construction industry, particularly in optimising thermal comfort in residential buildings. In the context of carrying out this research, the following subheads were expounded on: the concept of artificial intelligence, the concept of artificial intelligence-aided building design (AIAD) and the concept of thermal comfort. The study mentioned the features of thermal comfort in houses to include temperature regulation, humidity control and air movement/ventilation. The effect of AIAD on thermal comfort in houses, as mentioned in the study, included AI-optimised HVAC systems, AI-controlled shading devices and adaptive building envelopes, to mention a few. AI-driven design optimisation for sustainability, generative AI in built environment planning and integration of AI with building information modelling (BIM), among many others, were mentioned as the strategic ways of adopting AI to develop building design. The study concluded that AI-aidedarchitectural design is transforming residential buildings by optimising thermal comfort and energy efficiency. One of the recommendations made was that architects and engineers should integrate AI-driven simulations and predictive analytics with sustainable building practices.
