This book presents the select proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Built Environment (ICSBE 2024). It comprehensively explores the decarbonization of the built environment and delves into sustainable urban planning, policy and design to reduce carbon emissions, enhance liveability and foster resilience in cities. The book showcases the best practices, case studies and challenges in transforming existing buildings into sustainable and energy-efficient structures through rehabilitation, repositioning and retrofitting measures. The book also highlights the role of digital technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM), the Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics in optimizing resource utilization, monitoring energy consumption and improving construction project management for enhanced sustainability. This book also explores how Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and net-zero initiatives are driving a transformative change in the real estate and construction industry. This book will equip researchers, practitioners and policymakers with innovative solutions and practical guidance to aid their efforts in advancing sustainability within the real estate and construction sector.
