Keywords: climate change, information technology in construction, research agenda.

Summary

Addressing climate change is one of the key technological challenges of the present and the near future. With about a half of the energy being used in the built environment and with a huge proportion being used by the transportation sector, the construction industry will be a very important player. The chapter presents the general context of the climate change discussion. It identifies construction industry as a double winner in this process, potentially benefiting both from the changes in nature as well as from governments' measures. There are many goals that the construction industry can accomplish without much additional research, even more, however, if it moves beyond the current state of the art, particularly in building automation and the use of ICT throughout the building's life cycle. The chapter concludes by identifying the emerging research and development agenda in the field of construction informatics.
