Abstract
Abstract. The rapid advancement of digital technologies and the growing demand for energy efficiency in the residential construction sector create the need to develop a theoretical framework for the integration of smart technologies into building solutions. The study aims to establish an optimal balance between technological capabilities, architectural solutions and user needs, which will provide a methodological basis for the application of smart technologies in residential construction. The study is based on a systematic analysis of scientific literature in the field of construction for the period 2020-2024 using the methods of comparative and morphological analysis. A structured model of interaction between building and technical systems is developed, considering multi-level control architectures and ensuring a balance between automation and manual control. A comprehensive methodology for assessing the effectiveness of integration is proposed, which covers technical, architectural and social aspects, including criteria for assessing the technical readiness of buildings. The synergistic effects of scaling up solutions at the level of public housing through optimisation of energy flows between buildings are identified. A system of criteria has been created to assess the effectiveness of integration at different stages of the building life cycle, considering both technical capabilities and user needs. Recommendations for the design of technical infrastructure and control systems have been developed to ensure the flexibility and adaptability of smart systems. The results of the study are of practical importance for architects and engineers in the design and modernisation of both new and existing residential buildings, as they provide a systematic approach to the implementation of smart technologies. The theoretical provisions are the basis for the further development of adaptive design methods and standardisation of the process of integrating smart technologies into housing construction.
