Abstract

This review paper examines the design of energy management and environmental monitoring systems within the context of low-carbon urban construction. The building sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, integrating sustainable practices into urban development is crucial for mitigating climate change. This paper analyzes existing literature on various energy management strategies, including smart grids, renewable energy integration, and energy-efficient building designs. It also explores environmental monitoring techniques, such as air quality monitoring, waste management systems, and water resource management. The review highlights the importance of data-driven decision-making, enabled by advanced sensor technologies and data analytics. Furthermore, it looks into the challenges of implementation, including technological limitations, economic constraints, and regulatory barriers. Finally, the paper proposes future research directions, focusing on innovative technologies and policy frameworks to foster sustainable urban development. This includes exploring the potential of AI-driven energy optimization, advanced sensor networks for real-time environmental monitoring, and community engagement models for promoting low-carbon lifestyles. The effective integration of energy management and environmental monitoring systems is essential for creating resilient and sustainable urban environments.
