Climate change is having visible effects on the world as global temperatures continue to rise. These impacts can be wide-ranging from floods, heatwaves, and fires, with wide-reaching consequences for the entire population. The damage that construction and the built environment inflict on the planet is irrefutable. Smart technologies can potentially mitigate and significantly reduce harmful effects on the environment by using automated processes to manage and control building operations. There is an urgent need for sustainable development in Oman, especially in the construction industry. As the sector attempts to achieve net-zero carbon and create better communities for people to live in, this research aims to develop a framework that shows the possibility of applying smart technologies for sustainability purposes within residential and commercial buildings in Oman. Sustainability involves environmental protection, including the reduction of carbon and pollution, along with efficient usage of water, energy and other natural resources. The primary data collection methods for this qualitative study are focus groups and semi-structured interviews. In the focus group discussions with industry stakeholders, current practices, challenges, and opportunities for integrating smart technology were explored. Detailed semi-structured interviews with construction professionals, policy makers, and sustainability experts will provide insight into implementation barriers and enablers. The research results identified seven core components that form the foundation of the framework: Policy and Standards, Infrastructure Development, Technology Adoption, Capacity Building, Economic Feasibility, Community and lifestyle improvement and Climate Change Mitigation. These components are formulated into both theoretical and practical frameworks designed to align with Oman Vision 2040’s sustainability goals. The theoretical framework establishes the conceptual relationships between smart technologies and sustainability outcomes, while the practical framework provides actionable implementation strategies for Omani construction stakeholders.
