Abstract

The current research aimed at developing a proposed perception for developing the management of educational buildings (smart university buildings) in Egyptian universities, specifically in the processes of (Planning, Organizing, Directing, and Controlling) by identifying the fields and dimensions of using artificial intelligence in this context, and based on experiences of some foreign universities in employing artificial intelligence (AI) in managing and automating their campuses and providing the components of a smart and sustainable campus, as well as exploring the status quo of Egyptian universities in this field. The research revealed that foreign universities, such as (Stanford University, University of Toronto, and the National University of Singapore) extensively utilize AI applications in educational buildings' management (Planning, Organizing, Directing, and Controlling). This has resulted in increased energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, improved space utilization, and other benefits, in addition to aligning with global trends toward digital transformation and sustainable development. Furthermore, the research highlighted that Egyptian universities urgently need to adopt AI applications to make structural improvements to existing educational buildings and to consider these technologies in future educational buildings. Moreover, the research recommended the necessity of applying the proposed perception.
