Abstract

Green architecture is the process of designing buildings with ideas that preserve the surrounding environment, while artificial intelligence provides unlimited design ideas and various alternatives for applying the principles of green architecture. Artificial intelligence also helps measure energy use in buildings for energy conservation, heating, cooling, lighting, sensor systems, data mining, emissions reduction, and waste management. Thus, it can help achieve the principles of green architecture. Some buildings were designed using a combination of BIM and AI. The research aimed at identifying the role of artificial intelligence and benefiting from it to apply the principles of green architecture by examining the concept of artificial intelligence, its role in architecture, and the most important applications that can be used to apply those principles, such as architecture applications (ARKDESIGN.AI). In addition, the research aimed at measuring the architects' opinions regarding the role of artificial intelligence in achieving the principles of green architecture by using a questionnaire. The research results indicated that artificial intelligence currently has the potential to revolutionise the field of sustainable design, but it requires human assistance. Furthermore, it was concluded that it is important to understand the benefits of artificial intelligence and employ it to apply the principles of green architecture.
