Artificial Intelligence as a Decision Support Tool in Digital Technologies of Construction 4.0: Simulation Model of Green Facade Maintenance

Abstract Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the design and management of vegetative elements in green architecture offers new opportunities to optimize their life cycle. This study examines how AI can generate input parameters for simulating the post-construction phase of green facades with BIM-based tools. A selected modular system was modeled and simulated in the BEXEL Manager environment, utilizing AI-generated data on component lifespan, operational requirements, as well as maintenance frequency and duration. Results show that AI enhances simulation accuracy and planning efficiency while addressing the limitations of current BIM libraries in sustainable design. The presented approach integrating AI into BIM modeling reflects the principles of Construction 4.0 and supports sustainable solutions in digital construction.
