Abstract

This study explored the role of zeolite and AI-driven initiatives in sustainable construction, particularly for net-zero and climate-adaptive buildings. A quantitative, scientometric, and narrative review was conducted using bibliometric analysis of existing publications from the Scopus and Web of Science databases to identify research trends, key contributions, and technological advancements. The findings revealed that zeolite enhances construction materials by improving thermal regulation, air purification, and carbon capture, while AI optimises energy efficiency, predictive maintenance, and material performance. A cost–benefit analysis showed that integrating zeolite and AI in construction materials reduces long-term energy costs and enhances building sustainability. Comparisons with previous studies highlighted the increasing adoption of these technologies due to their environmental and economic benefits. This study concluded that the combination of zeolite and AI provides innovative solutions for green construction, offering energy-efficient, climate-resilient, and cost-effective building materials.
