Adoption Of Green Building Technology

Construction industry market players are heavily using green building technology to construct energy efficient buildings and reduce overall construction costs. Green building means usage practice sustainable building materials. Durable building materials such as natural colors and steel beams recycled material are widely used in middle east region. However, other green building techniques such as cross aeration to improve the natural environment and reduce carbon emission, green building software such as Construction Suite green compliance and the management of Green Globes (MGG) are used in the middle east construction market.

In addition, Aero Gel insulation strips are progressively used by construction firms since Aero Gel offers better energy performance effectiveness and moisture control management (MCM). Aero Gel insulation is a frozen smoke and translucent based structure for construction, and aerogel is made for removing the liquid content of the gel (liquid), and it is leaving only the silica structure, which is 99% air based. Aerogel controls its shape and is created in the form of an Aero-Gel fabric sheet or cover is weightless, recyclable, reusable and user friendly. Building products created on Aero Gel, for instance Aero Gel fabric panels, are used to save energy costs, reduce the loss of conditioned indoor air, remove pollutants from the air and improve heat durability in buildings. Owing to this latest trend of using Aero Gel in the construction sector, the middle east construction market is projected to grow with a high CAGR in the forecast period.

Technological Advancement in the Construction Market

The latest Technological advancement is gaining traction, due to which the Middle East Construction Market is expanding. Some of the major examples of technologies are virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are gaining popularity in the construction industry accelerate construction and they are helping in reduction of construction-related overall cost. The VR (Virtual reality) is computer inspired the world that replaces the real world and are AR (augmented reality) is a world augmented by computer-generated reality bodily inputs that together enable the interactive creation of a three-dimensional 3D building design model in an accurate way. These technologies help the construction industry by reducing rework, improving quality, decrease labor costs, adhere to the schedule, improve safety and customer experience, improve collaboration, design analysis, measurement accuracy, construction project management and plan submission.

Artificial Intelligence & Robotics are highly popular now a days, in construction industry to alter workforce, for capturing accurate data and analyzing information, eliminate human error and inconsistency AI & Robotics used. Artificial intelligence (AI) uses computers to model the natural intelligence of humans in computer-controlled robots and machine learning to solve problems and perform tasks. These artificially intelligent robots assist in construction work, quality control, progress monitoring, real-time monitoring of heavy equipment, proactively alert the user to system failures or malfunctions, and increase safety. For instance, in 2022, ABB signed an agreement for a wide range of robotics solutions for Scania's new highly automated battery assembly plant in Sweden. The latest facility can be a significant milestone in Scania's journey towards the electrification of heavy trucks. Scania will invest more than SEK 1 billion (USD 108 million) in the facility over several years, and the new Sodertalje plant is expected to be fully operational by 2023.
