Abstract

In the present era, the construction industry significantly contributes to urban pollution. Establishing smart cities is imperative for societal and organizational well-being, driven by resource efficiency and long-term sustainability goals. Urban planning emerges as a promising solution, offering enhanced building designs and resource allocation. However, this process is often time-consuming and costly, especially for simple structures, making it less efficient. Moreover, a lack of awareness about sustainable practices often hinders individuals and organizations from realizing the potential for improved construction through minor design adjustments.

Enter EcoTransform, a revolutionary solution designed to address these challenges. It enables users to import construction models and provides sustainable design ideas. EcoTransform employs AI enhancements that optimize hydrodynamics, energy efficiency, and natural resource utilization. Additionally, it offers recommendations for environmentally friendly materials and connects users with eco-conscious suppliers through the transparent and traceable blockchain platform. The software goes beyond design, allowing users to create blockchain token contracts that adjust costs based on environmental choices. Moreover, it assists organizations in achieving green building certifications such as LEED, unlocking the full spectrum of benefits associated with eco-friendly construction practices.

EcoTransform represents a groundbreaking approach to sustainable urban planning, enhancing both ecological and economic outcomes while simplifying the path to environmentally responsible construction.
