The
construction industry stands at a critical juncture, facing dual imperatives of
enhancing resilience while radically reducing its environmental footprint.
Traditional approaches to sustainable construction have often been fragmented,
focusing either on material-level innovations or project-level efficiency. This
paper presents a comprehensive review of an integrated framework that
synergizes Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) with Digital Twin technology to
revolutionize eco-friendly construction practices. The core of this framework
is a dynamic, data-driven digital replica of construction projects that
simulates long-term performance and environmental impacts of utilizing recycled
materials including various ashes (Fly Ash, Rice Husk Ash, Sugarcane Bagasse
Ash), Waste Glass Powder, and fibers alongside advanced methods like
geosynthetics, Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP), and robotics. By incorporating
machine learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Logistic
Regression, and Frequency Ratio with geospatial data from Remote Sensing and
GIS, the digital twin evolves from a static model to a predictive,
self-learning system. This review systematically analyzes how such integration
enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and continuous
optimization of resource utilization across the entire building lifecycle. The
paper further explores how Information Value methods and Weight of Evidence can
enhance decision-making processes for material selection and construction methodologies.
Findings indicate that the proposed digital twin framework can reduce carbon
emissions by 30-40%, improve material efficiency by 25%, and extend structure
lifespan by 20-30% through proactive maintenance strategies. This paradigm
shift toward data-driven, sustainable construction represents a significant
advancement in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) 9, 11, and 13, while offering substantial economic benefits through
optimized life-cycle costs.
