Abstract

The construction is fraught with growing environmental and efficiency issues contributing a significant percentage toward the use of energy worldwide and carbon emission. Among several technologies that are now coming to light in the sustainable area of management of construction, one with good promise is LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). The purpose of this research is to fill a big knowledge gap regarding the direct impacts on construction project management from LIDAR, like cost, safety, environmental influence, precision, and efficiency. The results, therefore, demonstrate that there were significant improvements in different aspects of the system, which included time efficiency (0.27), cost-saving (0.126 average effect), safety (0.148), and reduction of environmental impact (0.372). Equally, the value of the predictive relevance Q² = 0.529 further highlights the capability of the model for accurate predictions. This study supports the view that integration of LIDAR may be a strategic enabler of sustainable practice.

激光雷达技术在优化建筑行业效率和可持续性方面的功能分析

该建筑充满了日益增长的环境和效率问题，对全球能源使用和碳排放贡献了很大的比例。在建筑管理的可持续发展领域中，激光雷达（LIDAR，光探测和测距）是一种很有前途的技术。本研究的目的是填补激光雷达对建筑项目管理的直接影响方面的巨大知识空白，如成本、安全、环境影响、精度和效率。结果表明，该系统在时间效率（0.27）、成本节约（0.126）、安全性（0.148）和环境影响减少（0.372）等方面均有显著改善。同样，预测相关性Q2 = 0.529的值进一步突出了模型进行准确预测的能力。这项研究支持了这样一种观点，即激光雷达的集成可能是可持续实践的战略推动者。

期刊介绍： in Shams Engineering Journal is an international journal devoted to publication of peer reviewed original high-quality research papers and review papers in both traditional topics and those of emerging science and technology. Areas of both theoretical and fundamental interest as well as those concerning industrial applications, emerging instrumental techniques and those which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavor, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal are welcome. The overall focus is on original and rigorous scientific research results which have generic significance. Ain Shams Engineering Journal focuses upon aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, environmental engineering, architectural and urban planning engineering. Papers in which knowledge from other disciplines is integrated with engineering are especially welcome like nanotechnology, material sciences, and computational methods as well as applied basic sciences: engineering mathematics, physics and chemistry.
